I got my 2 tins. TP has it in stock this morning as well.

I was late to the party, but found myself really enjoying that last crop, both straight-up as in CRF, and as a foundation for a blend as in Speakeasy. I know some people don't like C&D Virginias and I can understand why, but I often enjoy them as a stouter and fuller-bodied alternative to all the other great VAs on the market.

SP has the "Taste" at 4 dots which would put it in the full flavored department. They have XX Flake Dark at 3 dots. Is that accurate? Im asking because I normally don't seek out blends that are below the medium threshold.

What you are seeing is an average of the ratings given by reviewers.

In my review, I stated: The strength is medium, and the taste just steps over that line. The nicotine is a tad less potent than the strength level.
