I don't wish to be contrarian, but...
I emailed C&D a few months ago as the last sale on Savinelli at Smokingpipes.com had wiped out the supply of 140th. I was told that the blend would not be produced again as it was not the best seller. The subject of a 145th did not come up, though they had certainly started on this project by the time I talked with them.
It was a slow seller. No idea why, I think it's a nice VA/OR with the little bit of those dark fired florets. The only thing I can think of is 100 gram tins make people weird to buy but then doesn't make sense because they'll buy the max limit of a 2oz tin.
Well dang, I hope you're wrong, but you're more than likey right. I called before the last release of CRF. They might have had high hopes for it at the time. I'll have to stretch out what I've got.
Unfortunately, I only bought one tin to test. I think it's a nice unique and refreshing blend, and love the elderflower essence. Saving it for special occasions in a jar though 100g (more like 70 now) won't go far.

The Vauen #14 VA Flake is damn good. I would say, it is a lighter, milder version of Wessex Campaign Dark Flake. Both are produced by KK.
In europe also only available on 50 gram tins, bulk tobacco is not a big thing here, only DTM blends are available in 250 gram bags and some Mac Baren blends are in larger tubs.

Just in from Black Cat....The Pelican was a Lucky find when I posted on Esoterica drop.
Got a good price, so it was hard to help myself.
Mixed bag from a few different places over the last month.
Damn. Nice haul ?
Dang did you rob the Arango truck ?
They had no limit, so I went for it.
This thread is a testimony to why the blenders do se well.
Stopped by a local B&M and picked these up.
