Jesse, I looked for awhile before posting this, I must be blind.

A few days ago, someone was told by their local B&M ( I assume) that 2045 wasn't going to be available. I don't see that on the list so, who knows? My local shop owner says McClelland can be a PITA to deal with when ordering. Who knows? Aside from Legends, Ill be ok. Sad that (if) these blends go the way of so many others.

Sad days for cure for a McClelland fanboy

spartan99 · Feb 12, 2018

Glad I laid in a bunch of Wilderness while it was still available. Unfortunately, I didn't catch this in time to do the same for No. 2015.

The only blend that McClelland makes that I smoke is Burtera Royal Vintage: Dark Stoved. I was curious after my hiatus if there were any flakes I needed to try so I contacted jiminks and asked him. He recommended the Butera flake even though it was not new. I tried a tin and was impressed. I had always shied away from McClelland blends due to their use of red virginia's. This Butera was listed as strictly Lemon virginia's and jiminks was right. I got no bite and the flavors were awesome. I now have a nice supply in my cellar and will be excited to see how it ages.

Pipe smokers + Internet = bubbe meises

All we know is that some blends are not in stock at this time.

Jesse, lololol, I don't think too many here will get the bubbe meises reference but I love it. It is so true on so many levels. I think a lot of us have nothing better to do, it is not like we can get together and play mah jongg.

kcghost · Feb 12, 2018

You had best get any McClelland blend you can as soon as you can.

LOL! My mothers' weekly mah jong game went on for almost 70 years

cigrmaster · Feb 12, 2018

Wow, a 70 year game is amazing. We had card games at my pool hall for a good 15 years.

And this is based on.... what?

sablebrush52 · Feb 13, 2018

Wow, a 70 year game is amazing. We had card games at my pool hall for a good 15 years.

Started on the East Coast and continued through various moves until they settled in LA after the War. The sound of those pieces clattering in the living room was a regular part of my childhood.

jesse, you are bringing back memories long forgotten. I remember my grandmothers games and damn if I just remembered they were on Thursdays. Friday she was too busy cooking and she played golf on the weekends. She also had a bridge game during the week as well. I remember her teaching us how to play mah jongg as kids along with Gin. It was a total different world back then wasn't it?
I bought 7 more tins of the Butera last night.

sablebrush52 · Feb 13, 2018

Totally different times. My parents played Bridge all the time, played tournaments, were rated as masters. When the Bridge tables were set up we knew we had to become scarce.

josephcross · Feb 14, 2018

I never learned how to play Mah Jong, but played many many games of Gin with my mom. It was and still is our go to game.

"No. 2015 Virginia Flake"
Harris, I assume you mean #2015 VaPer? If so that will be a disaster for me as along with St. James Flake (SG) it is a huge favourite of mine. I just hope my Enabler has plenty in stock

Regards,
Jay.

cigrmaster · Feb 14, 2018

mawnansmiff, that is a list that I copied from another site, not my personal one. It says what is says, and I am sure when they say 2015 they are talking about the Vpaer that goes by that number.

mso489 · Feb 14, 2018

Oh boy. I'm a moderate smoker, don't use much 'baccy. So now it will take me even longer to open my tins of McClelland blends thinking I'll never get them again. I'm afraid I'll tend to smoke what I think I can eventually replace.
