Whole leaf tobacco kits strengths

[HKRolling]

I'm going to buy another kit from whole leaf tobacco.
I've tried:
Melodioso Cremosa (medium)
Azucacarado Oscuro (full bodied)
Terroso Profundo (med to full-bodied Caribbean)

I'm wondering which to get next.
The Sabroso Medioso is medium strength, so it's obviously similar to the Melodioso Cremosa.
But the Oscuro Y Rico is described as "stout". Where does this fit into the strength spectrum?
I assumed it was stronger than full-bodied but it has no ligero, only seco and viso. So are they slightly below the 2 medium strength blends?
Thanks

I would trust the flavour description. With the sale going on it's best to buy the leaf that is in the kits if you like the tobacco. It may be cheaper that way. I believe the sale and someone can correct me on this is not on the kits or the bulk tobacco

Where do you think "stout"would fit into the strength scale?

I can't see anywhere that says kits aren't included. I hope they are.
I'm shipping internationally, Don suggested keeping it under 2lb for customs. I'm going to try a shipping service that I use for coffee beans. There's a chance they might not be happy because it's tobacco and therefore I lose it. I thought the sale was a perfect chance to try it out.

"shipping and wholesale not included"

@HKRolling is correct. Just read the sale announcement.

I would guess (It's just a guess.) that "stout" would be rated between medium-to-full and full-bodied.

Thanks. I've gone for the Oscuro Y Rico "stout" ones and see how they turn out

I have ordered 12lbs before and the duty is about 25 dollars in Canada

I have ordered these kits before with no problem. I live in a "free port" tax jurisdiction. So there's no import tax (no CGT either. Taxes here are ridiculously low. My income tax is equivalent of 2 weeks work). Tobacco IS taxed on import, but I consider a bag of leaves to be an agricultural product and not a tobacco product. Presumably the customs and excise department also thinks that, as they haven't stopped my previous orders. Either that or they just don't care.
I've entered numerous times with like 10kg of cheese in my suitcase and never been stopped, even though technically I shouldn't have. They seem to take a fairly common sense approach.

My worry was with the shipping forwarding company that I'm using, Buyup. I thought I'd read before that they don't ship tobacco. When I looked a few days ago, it said they wouldn't ship anything illegal.
This is a test run with a cheap lb of leaves.
