Just popped a 2017 tin (this is one of my top ten tobaccos, I’m glad I stocked up with all this talk that HU has been changing their blends!)

I sadly don't have time to keep up with all the cool kid news...but is that (HU quality drop) and official 'noticed thing' now? I ask because I've been smoking Makhuwa for a while and it's been one of my "Oooohhhh yeeeeaaaah" blends. I recently got into tins ordered earlier this year and it had become an "Oh, that's a shame...." blend. Tried a few tins and all were harsh/bitter compared to the chocolatey toned fun it was prior. Though maybe it was a bad batch, but interested if others are having similar experiences with HU.

It sounds like a lot of folks are experiencing the same, which is a crying shame of course!
