Grabbed another 250 g Squadron Leader to cellar. Figured I’d get it while it’s at my local B&M.
Curse Sykes and his pack of rabid enablers! Like I need that with you lot! Ordered two tins of Solani ABF and two of Gold Block due to their seductive mailing.
TAD struck hard for me in the last few weeks. In addition to adding some CRF to the cellar, and some various bulks just got in a package I was expecting for a few weeks. All together with this shipment 44 tins.
It appears your TAD acquisitions are undergoing a CAT scan.
I can’t believe this stuff hasn’t sold out yet! I feel like the last few times it was released I blinked and it was gone! I had a sample of this back in 2016 (obviously a different batch) and I remember really liking it. These are going in the cellar for probably a good 10 years.
Does anyone remember what the highest sugar content was with these releases? I thought I heard someone say that the last release was a little over 10%. Anyone know what the percentage was on the 2016 release?

10.49% was the previous years sugar content. I believe all the editions released before that are 10.49% as well because they are the exact same batch, just tinned in different years. The sugar % is listed on the label each year.
I sat out this years, I am speculating others did as well because of the lower sugar in the new batch and they are stocked up. I have 54 tins of the previous releases combined.
Any idear what the average sugar content is in Red VA’s, say like the McClelland VA’s?
No idea but I am sure someone will pop in with some ranges. I bet if you emailed Jeremy at C&D he would also reply, he is excellent at responding to questions.

That's a nice number to be sitting on. I've got 10x tins of 2020, 10x of 2019, 10x of the CRF w/Perique 2019 and 2x of the 2018 release. I really enjoyed the previous years, although I probably won't be able to tell the difference between sugar content as I don't have that much of a discerning palette when it comes to those small nuances.
Moreso, I would say that while yes, some may have seen the lower sugar content and decided against it, but I reckon that most don't give into the hype for CRF, considering that it also had a bad batch with mold upon first release and they are now butt sore forever. I however see it for the long haul. As I mentioned in a previous thread and with McClelland defunct, CRF makes a great replacement for the annual release of the sought after Christmas Cheer. I know it is far from the flavor profile, but it makes it a thing to look forward to each year.
Arrived on Wednesday. Only got a chance to take a photo today. There were 4 Zombie ?

1x tin of SG Kendal Cream Flake
1x tin of Peterson Nightcap
Both picked up in Itaewon, Seoul at a local B&M. Prices are a little high but reasonable for a country that has hardly any pipe smokers.
