I know the original date was August or September of 2018. Thankfully that got pushed back. However I don't know when the new date for them to go into effect is. Anybody have insight?
Nope. You have a bit more time than that. It was extended from August 8th 2018 to August 8th, 2021, but in some cases could go to 2022.May 11, 2020
One of the worst kept secrets in the piping community. The information about the impending closing was supposedly passed on to dealers so they could inform their McClelland devotees in advance. The idea was to reward loyal customers with an opportunity to stock up before the piranhas, compulsive hoarders, or just plain nut jobs descended. It pretty much worked.My philosophy on the McClelland rumors before the official closing announcement was "5100 is gone and that's not good. If I stock up on my favorite McClelland Virginias and they don't close then no harm done because I would have bought those tins eventually anyways." I wanted to believe they wouldn't be closing but I was positive that if they did then I wasn't going to get caught shorthanded so I bought as much as I could from the time the news about 5100 no longer being produced hit.
I don't think the McNeils could have handled it any better. The tins of 40th Anniversary were being snatched up by everyone as quick as McClelland could produce them even before they announced they were closing. Any prior leak of the closing info would have made it impossible for the fans of McClelland to actually acquire any of their favorites near the end in my opinion.
Apologies, got that date from here.Nope. You have a bit more time than that. It was extended from August 8th 2018 to August 8th, 2021, but in some cases could go to 2022.
Anti-smoking groups are suing the FDA over the extension. Given the time our judicial system gets to a decision, sometime in late 3020, no one will much care.
RIght. That refers to the deadline for registering products for deeming, but doesn't affect products currently on the shelves that will not undergo the deeming process. For products that are not grandfathered in, the kill date is still August 8th 2021 unless they are undergoing the deeming process. If those products are not approved, they get killed off August 8th 2022. Of course, this could change at the drop of a hat, and all of these "undeemed" products could go at a moment's notice.Apologies, got that date from here.

The main issue with standard equivalence will be definitions. If, for example, the FDA accepts "Virginia" or "flue-cured" as an acceptable item then the door is open, since we would be able to change bright to red or stoved in a blend and it holds up to the rule. The more specific the definition, the less wiggle room we have. The devil is in the details.
