yeah i kinda miss retro. it had a weird flavor, but it grew on me quickly. as for 01 i liked it for the first 3 cans or so, now i think i might hate it.

I had an 01 can, and I thought it was OK, but I didn't notice any "no drip" stuff, it seemed like a regular portion to me, which is good.

If you like subtle flavors, you'll like 02. I can't speak about 01, as I haven't tried it yet, but I love 02. I'm not a huge fan of oriental pipe blends, but going with the bolder blends I favor, I'd say that 02 has a complexity similar to Escudo Navy Deluxe.

Ah, I greatly enjoy 'Navy Deluxe; kind of makes me wonder what perique would be like in a snus. BTW, if you haven't tried it McClelland's Orientals: Drama Reserve is divine and may change your opinion on oriental blends. That said I'm definitely going to give 02 a try.

I miss Retro, but not as much as I miss Diplomat.

Perique in Snus? Wouldn't that be a bit like a black pepper OD? Given the peppery taste of some snuses, there may be a pinch of that fine St. James Parish leaf in there to begin with.

Thanks for the Drama Reserve recommendation. The pipers at tobaccoreviews.com seem to agree with you. I'll have to order a tin sometime and try it out.
