No way those aren't good.
Presumably from 2005 and 2010? I don't know anything about the Anniversary tobacco, but I never met a McClelland I didn't like.

I've yet to try this blend. I've nearly pulled the trigger a couple times, and I'll probably break down and get some eventually.

The TAD list is SO LONG!

the 2010 is pretty amazing. The latakia is so soft without being mute. I need to grab more before it goes away.

The 2010 is actually still readily available

papipeguy, have you looked at the date stamp on the tin? I've got a couple tins, brown seal, date stamped to 2015, so it's still being produced, or at least was up to last year. When I first bought it I thought it was made in 2010. :lol:
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to opening those tins one day.
Nice find on the 2005.

I had thought I had finished the last of my 02 Anniversary blend but I found 2oz in a mason jar I had forgotten about.
This is one of my desert island blends. When the 02 is gone, i'll move onto to the 05.

I guess I will need to pick up some 2010, and hope there is a 2017.

There is a 2017 version (Blue/Green wax), I bought some from 4Noggins today. Unfortunately, at the moment they are sold out of it again, but they do have the 2010.

Originally released in 2002 to commemorate 25 years of quality tobacco manufacturing, a total of 3000 tins were issued wrapped in commemorative ecru paper with a red wax seal. A second issue, bearing a green wax seal and an updated date span on the paper wrapping (1977-2005), was released in 2005. A third issue, bearing a (brownish) natural wax seal and updated date span (1977-2010), was released in 2010.

The paper wrappers are not dated so I guess I need to loosen them to get the tin date.

The color of the seal will give you the date. Brown seal is from 2010.
