The removal of the nut flavors is unfortunate. The people that liked them, LOVED THEM. Sadly it was a limited few. Sometimes things have to be abandoned to make way for new things. As far as I am aware, this was based solely on sales.
Hunters blend was very popular. The source for the flavoring no longer exists hence the loss of the flavor. It was a similar story for RY4 and Ejoker. We may yet see a return of RY4 and ejoker albeit slightly different.
I would love to hear from all the HFN lovers out there. No guarantees but perhaps we can sway the courts for a stay of execution.
I will certainly pass the info along to Don.
