Jim's C&D Carolina Red Flake 2022 Review.

[Ben.R.C]

I’m a hot smoker, even when I slow down, I like to puff. Many straight virginias are a bit too much for me if I go over a bowl a day. CRF allows me to smoke how I like. A really interesting blend, I assume lower sugar then say “Christmas cheer”

Is there a thread on CRF w Perique? I’m abiut to win an auction on a couple of tins, not too crazy price wise.

What year? Tobacco Reviews search isn't the greatest you just have to google search the tobacco name and it will show up in the google results.

I’ve discovered this as well. Google searches TR.com better than TR.com searches itself!

I found that, thanks! I was wondering if there was a thread on the forums

Crf w/perique is quite good. If you’re getting it at a good price that’s icing on the cake

I won a 2 tin auction for 43$. I guess a decent price.

Yep, I emailed SP last night and they said one more release this year with Perique. Jeremy is actively looking for good replacement leaf. I say this is great news.

Does this mean no more CRF without perique? That would sure be a shame.

 

[Nitrane84]

When does the 2023 release? Will there be a sunbear release this year as well?

Good point. It is in an image which makes it harder for crawlers to grab, but I swear I scanned it for anything sensitive.

Very glad to hear CRF will be returning!

 

[starrynight]

Yeah, makes it sound like this years release will not have perique as well. Looking forward to that…

So, october is at the door, CRFP'23 has come, but are there any news about CRF?
I still have around 30 tins of CRF'22. Some were made in 2022, some are in a beginning of May, 2023 (but I am sure it's 2022). However, I wonder what about this year?

From an SPC correspondence:

While Carolina Red Flake with Perique is slated to be released later this year, it is unfortunate that Cornell & Diehl's stock of the specific varietal of Red Virginias used in Carolina Red Flake is dwindling. As far as we know, this may be the last release that contains that particular varietal, unfortunately.

Queue up next limited edition small batch Red VA release with very limited Red VA's that are limited and never to be seen again.

Thanks a lot!
At least, I have my stash.
