Hunter - did a more exhaustive search for the little dickens. Here's what I found out -
Candy Stick (PS140595 [BB]) - Breeder: R. Maxwell. Vendor: Seminis/Petoseed. Characteristics: peeler, Caropak maturity, smooth exterior color, excellent tops. Similar: Caropak. Adaptation: California. 1998.

Seminis is the worldwide vendor of the seeds & they do not sell to home gardeners. US distribution was through NK (Walmart carries them I believe) but they do not sell anything online. I did go through all of the other folks on the list Seminis puts out of those who distribute their seeds in the US - no joy there either. I suspect that this particular carrot is now "old" and has been replaced with more recent hybrids. You might try contacting Seminis directly - http://www.seminis.com/contact.jsp

Other than that, I guess you'll have to find a new favorite carrot and have provided a good learning experience for all of us: you find something you really love, let at least a few go to seed!
