Newbie questions on Key Largo & Burleys

[Blackhorse]

Hey, new guy here! Thought I'd say, "Hi!" with a couple of questions:

First question: So, when is the new Key Largo supposed to be out? Is there any advance info as to what the blend will be? Is GLP going over to "Bogart Blends" - I mean, we already have Maltese Falcon...and titles such as Casablanca, Across the Pacific, African Queen, Sirocco, Sahara, China Clipper and even Virginia City have that specific geographical flair that perhaps lend themselves to future use and other possibilities abound!

Question last: Summer being just around the corner, and it being my mainstay generally, I'm on the lookout for Burleys that I haven't tried yet. Currently on a Bluegrass Melody and Kendal Kentucky jag...with occasional forrays into the Solani and Wessex flakes - just looking for MORE.

Anyway, glad to be here, nice ta meecha.

Im looking forward to trying my sample of it in a couple days.

Darn! I was hoping for a blend w/o latakia - but I shouldn't prejudge.GLP has surprised me before.

I was hoping this would be something like a Tennesee/Kentucky Burley/C leaf/ and maybe a hint of VA blend - without Orientals of any kind. Though if the Latakia is condimental rather than main note - it might work for me. There aren't too many cigar leaf blends out there that are worth much - only about 3-4 come to mind...chiefly "The Bankers".
