[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 518810, member: 2403"] I think the new cut is going to be hit or miss from blend to blend. It might improve poor burning mixtures like Odyssey, which was always stubborn to take to flame. Hell even GLP went out of the way to suggest packing Odyssey with a lighter touch to circumvent the known issues with blending high percentages of Latakia and dark stoved VA's. However, at the same rate it may work against the types of mixtures that gain their complexities from smoldering slowly with the various components gently toasting at different rates. Altogether, my biggest problem with this move is having to discover whether or not I acutally like a blend all over again because the manufacturer decided to change an integral part of their process and then not even bother to let the public know. IMHO, they absolutely trashed Laurel Heights with the new cut, the little nuances (gentle citrus zest with wood smoke from the tiny blips of latakia) are gone. It has me wondering about Haddo's, Telegraph Hill and others that I really enjoy. You got a good thing going and a solid following, why change it? Oh well. [/QUOTE]
