La Aroma de Cuba Pepin Blend finally out

Being an absolute fan of the Original (Johnny can tell you from Iraq), I wasn't terribly excited when the EE came out. I tried it, but it didn't hook me like the original - now, I'm not knocking it, it just didn't "get" me like the LADC's I had burned through.

Now....It has been "reblended" with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper.

What exactly is left in the "blend" that made it an LADC??

Anyone remember the hissy fit I had in chat??

Now they market it as ""INCREDIBLE NEW BLEND! SAME LOW PRICES!!""....Same Low prices as WHAT??
