Yes smoking pipes is ordering an absurd amount of these blends it’s almost like Sykes knows something or something
Well, they sell through approx 500 tins a week, so I'd suggest Sykes knows it makes good sense to keep well stocked up.
Yeh, Skip at The Briary's pipe show last weekend told us that after this shipment that that there would be no more McClellands... so interpret that however you want. But
Does anyone know if this is a limited editon? I purchased a tin last summer. I'm curious to try it so I can decide if I want to buy more to cellar. However, I don't want to open it. Does this compare to any of the X-Mas cheer blends?
Frankly, I like it better than Christmas Cheer. It's one of the very best Red Virginia blends I've smoked. It's good enough now that you really don't need to age it to enjoy it. Open your tin. Have a smoke, and make a decision.
No Skip was very clear that he would no longer be able to get any more McClelland products (period). Why would make up something that would disturb the movement of his best selling products? Why he will no longer be able to get them... people will have to fill in their own blanks.
I for one believe the stories of them shutting down, they have come from enough reliable sources. I've been loading up my tobacco cellar accordingly. Life will go on without McClelland but I'm a VA lover and will miss having a number of their blends readily available. The 40th Anniversary is superb IMHO. Perhaps it was McClellands swan song to their Customers.
It also looks like McCranies Red Ribbon is sold out. Not sure if they're getting in any more or not.

McCrannies is made by McClelland, so...
Yeh, I just wish C&D or someone would step up and give us something close to a McClelland flavor. Just one Virginia.
But, my seeds are started, and I have dedicated more land to growing my own for this year. I am just happy that more people are coming forward in the growing end of this hobby, so we may get more exchanges of ideas and experimentation.
