[QUOTE="glpease, post: 152499, member: 18"] In the early part of 2003, we had problems, again, with Syrian leaf. In June, we managed to secure a shipment of the fabulous vintage Syrian leaf that was used in Bohemian Scandal, as well as the Cyprian/Syrian blends, Renaissance, Mephisto and Raven's Wing. So, yes. The 2003 version is different, largely because of the exquisite nature of that Syrian leaf. More wine-like, certainly. I found it more complex, as well, but it's hard to say what the added couple of years have done to the older version. Maybe the 2003 vintage will show more complexity in a few years time. This is all just another example that tobaccos, like fine wines, are subject to vintage variation. I agree that if I had to choose between Renaissance and Scandal, it would be Renaissance. *sigh* [/QUOTE]
