Yep, that looks like the one. I actually got mine from Ambrose via TeaSwap.
My YS package finally arrived over the weekend. I got some stuff that I'm really excited for. 2011 Gaoshanzhai, 2005 Douji Spring Red, 2002 Tai Lian to name a few.
I also threw in a cake I thought looked interesting, 2003 Hong Shun "Hui Ming Shan." Scott says this one has had some wetter storage and he is right about that. I got around to trying it yesterday and it's nothing special, but it does have that nice pungent mouthfeel that wetter stored Puerh usually seems to have. For $32 I'm not disappointed with my purchase.
I'll be updating more as I try these teas.

2011 Xia Guan Te Ji Tuo Raw - This pu is smoky and nothing great but for the price nothing to complain.

I recently found a "one of" offering of the 2009 Naka Douji and today I got to try it for the first time... It's quite a good tea, deep straw sheng qualities with slightly woody tones.
I thought my experience varied quite differently from
this reviewer, who noted more of a xiaguan/tobacco (and a flavor with which I'm quite familiar).
That particular review is over a year old now, so I suppose things could have changed, although XG-style flavors tend not to rapidly die away after only a year.
Has anybody else tried this tea...?

The 2007 Xiaguan Yin Cang Yu Er Tuo. Started off much smoother and sweeter than any Xiaguan that I've had before. The smoke was there, but it didn't overwhelm. It had some herbal notes mingling with melted warm caramel, but otherwise it was just a Xiaguan. I don't know what the smoke flavor will do as time goes on, but due to the lack of bitterness and general 'oomph' I'm not sure if it will change too much more. I'm okay with being proven wrong, though.

I've yet to find anything from Shuangjiang Mengku that I've liked. I don't know why, but they always seem to be tasteless and flat. Maybe one day...

It does say 'Dadugang Dragon Garden...... ' below though, I'm not sure why it's confusing.
I think YNS used to sell this aswell. I'm sure it was older than 2004 though.
