[QUOTE="lestrout, post: 363464, member: 282"] Addressing this comment: "The choice to use a well loved name from the past provides a guideline for flavor profile, but is a marketing ploy at best." - one of the pipers at a little group that meets in Bethlehem, PA used to buy CA when he worked in NYC. It cost $17/lb, much more than Dunhill at the time. He has a pound or so that is quite similar to the 5 lb I have, which is about 12-15 YO. When LeonardW at Lane was fulfilling his pledge to restore some discontinued blends, he asked us for some of our stash to use as a guide to check the recipes (there are 2), and when John and I cross compared the first run against our controls, even accounting for age the reissue is remarkably close. For all intents and purposes I consider them the same. LeonardW at Lane is one case of where he went through considerable effort to put CA back together, as he also consulted with old time employees who actually made the original. In this case, Leonard may have marketing chops, but he did not stoop to a mere marketing ploy. hp les [/QUOTE]
