What's Your Favorite C&D Small Batch Release??

[lukasstrifeson]

Pretty much what the title says eh?

The limited release format can get a little gimmicky sometimes but I've really been enjoying some of these blends they've released.

Want to do an anecdotal poll to see what people are enjoying.

Personally, my favorite so far has been Sun Bear Mountain Flower and the Smokingpipes.com Anniversary XX Flake Dark.

 

[Peter Turbo]

For me it was Anthology 2022

 

[fireground_piper]

2018 jolly old Saint Nicholas.

 

[Merton]

After a bit of time in the cellar, Anthology 2022. Also, Warped Scarecrow 2024.

 

[FLDRD]

Steamworks.
But I've lots of C&D limited releases that I haven't gotten to yet.

I liked the first iteration of Sun Bear

Whatever the latest one is...

JK, I haven't tried any.

The only C&D product I enjoy without reservation, Steamworks.
Looking forward to its third release in 2026.

I have several that I haven't tried yet, but so far my most favorite is Eight State Burley, second is Steamworks and third would be Sun Bear Tupelo.

2021 or 2022 Eight State Burley.

 

[skydog]

Anthology 2022 and Steamworks are both up there for me. 2024 CRF beats out any of the other small batches I've had so far followed by probably Dawn and 2022 CRF.

The only one i've tried is the Carolina Red Flake from 2019. I really enjoyed that. I've got some tins of the 20th Anniversary XX Flake & XX Flake Dark but I haven't tried them yet.

Another release? Good to know, I didn't research so was clueless. But this will help me enjoy my stash a lot more comfortably. I only had one tin so far.

That’s per Jeremy at Muletown.

2021 CPF w/Perique

I was definitely a fan of that one.

 

[Bbailey324]

I am a big fan of Steamworks. Some of the CRF variants have been good as well.

 

[Sig]

Ive only tried two, and liked them both.
Carolina Red Flake 2024, and The Beast 2024.
I have more of each and 2 tins of Sarolatchianica....or..... Sasafrasingtonville.. whatever its called. You know, that town in Italy.

Steamworks, From Beyond, and Eight State are all fantastic. Carolina w/Perique pretty damn great, too.
