I am getting a sample. Dunno when. If it manages to get here tomorrow, I'll get a review done as fast as I can.

April gonna be tough on me. Watch City releases and supply of Rattrays coming in. Now this!?!? Damn….
Time to stock up on Red Rapparee. Don't worry, for that I order from some German suppliers since the shipping is less from there than from USA, so I won't be competing with you for Rattray's lol.
I really like some blends from this line, but am not a fan of C&D crumble cakes. Half my cellar is C&D but I really wish they would just do a proper plug or do away with their crumble cakes.
I think D&S is only available thru smoking pipes, if that's true, I wonder if they own the name and commission Pease to expand the line? Personally, I think there are far too many blends on the market already.
I love that the word "folklore" is getting used more. The description doesn't really appeal to me, but for a latakia lover, I am sure this will feed their needs. I wonder who is making this for them.
I shouldn't say I wish they would stop making them. I realize some people like them. But for me, I don't like how it essentially just peels off in uneven layers and chunks. You can't really rub out a crumble cake either, you just end up picking it apart.
Yes, all Drucquer & Sons is blended by C&D for GL Pease.
Awesome! It's really good to see people that become famous, pulling up the small shop and folks that gave him his start. That's classy. Love it.
I think you are confusing the whole leaf plugs and referring to them as crumble cakes. Crumble cakes are rough or ribbon cut, pressed into a cake and rub out easily. Blends like scarecrow and blockade runner for example are crumble cakes that rub out into an easily packable format vs what I’m assuming you mean like the Spark Plug format.
I like crumble cakes, as well as plugs. I am not sure I like the hockey puck plugs like Salty Dog and Condor as much. But, I guess this is why they make a variety of products.
What I like about the crumble cakes is that I can just break them up with my fingers without having to get out a knife and deal with all of that wasted time slicing and prepping. I know some guys like to fiddle around like that, but smoking is what I do all day long, so I don't get into all of that ritual lighting of candles, incantations, and prepping the beast for sacrifice and such.

This exactly.
Love red VA and oriental, and often like perique, but don't need one more latakia forward blend, like all the others. I don't dislike latakia, it's just got to get out of the way of the other components if a blend hopes to be different enough to deserve a place in the collection.
If I see a JimInks review before it's all bought out, I may order.
Well, it looks like I won't get it until sometime tomorrow afternoon.
I avoid F*c*book like the Plague, so that explains it.
I just ordered a couple of these from SPC. I'm glad my order went through—it seems their site is down now.
