Interestingly or not, at the same time there was a bunch of new tobaccos at the K&K websites. I've not tried but some local folks who have claimed that:
Red Lion = Old Dublin.
Wallace Flake = University Flake.
At the same time our one and only local shop stopped importing Erinmore Flakes to Finland but took Rattrays Malcolm Flakes into selection. Damn me but i swear both Erinmores and Malcolm are exactly the same :gl:
Have no idea about the rest of those new Rattrays. Will know more within few weeks. Me & blonde, eh, wife, rented a small cabin near the western coast of Estonia for few weeks. To spend a part of our vacation there. I'll have plenty of time to check the local tobacco shops there as usually they've had a better selection of Rattrays available.
