I'm looking for information on these tobaccos but I can't seem to find any. They are brand new and (apparently) only sold here at the moment. There's also a pdf here that explains the story behind them. It seems that they contain katerini and rustica tobaccos processed as cavendish. I know it's early, but has anyone actually tried them?

Hah beat me to it, I JUST sent a message to @JimInks about it, guess both of us are getting Synjeco's newsletter?
Yes! That's how I knew. I guess we all have the same questions. And we know we won't know until we actually try it. But I'd like to hear something about them before if possible.
I've seen them on sale, but since I'm not buying tobacco, and I didn't get samples to review, I'm not going to be of help to you.
I just ordered Three Swords, Longboat and Thor's Hammer. I'll update when I try them.
When I met Per Jensen in Vegas he told me he was going to have an exclusive line produced by K&K arriving soon, and to keep an eye out. Folks at K&K heard what happened at Mac Baren and wanted to give him free reign to blend, if on a small scale. These must be what he was talking about.
I'll wait. There's no hurry in trying this. I really like strong tobacco and it would be unusual for Jensen to be making one now.
Be careful. Smoking those might encourage you to rape cows and steal women. Not to mention sing on a unstable boat wearing horned helmet.
Ok. But be careful why?
It's a good thing I do not get offended!!
I'm not sure about the cows.....I DO have an uncle who....um.......may entertain the idea. The "steal women"...... pretty sure we gave that up a few years ago.......but there is my uncle.
Have you ever been on a Viking boat? They may be unstable, but they are tough!! And im not even going to comment on the horned helmet thing.
The singing.......we will die before we stop singing!!
Thats what I thought.
Sounds like a fun Saturday night!!
I think a couple of those had his beloved rustica so they might scratch that itch
Funny thing: when vikings came to Spain they reached my hometown through the river (some 30 kilometers upstream). There are still remains of a fortress (Rábida) the muslims built in Guardamar, probably to protect their cows.It's a good thing I do not get offended!!

Except for the horned helmet you described what I'd call a slow weekend.
"It wasn't me; the tobacco made me do it! The TOBCACCOOOOOOO!!!!"
Since it appears we can no longer define what a woman is in the USA, I'll stick with the cow and helmet.
