McClelland Grand Orientals
I tried all the McClelland Grand Orientals when they first came out, except for the Yenidje Highlander (not a big Latakia fan) & found all I tried to be really good. After sampling these at my local B&M, I bought all of them to age. I especially liked the Yenidje Supreme & Katarini Classic...- drrock

MC's Honeydew
I really like McClelland's 221B Honeydew too. It's sweet in that subtle Virginia tobacco manner. Meant to be smoked slowly like any fine VA. It's not sweet like Dan Tobacco's Sweet Vanilla Honeydew, another favorite but a very sweet aromatic that's pretty heavily cased. If you like...- drrock

Great smelling great tasting T...
Most likely you're remembering your Grandpa smoking one of the aromatic blends of old. While many of those blends may still be available, I'd recommend trying some blends from Uhles.com, Boswellpipes.com, Milantobacco.com, and/or Vtpipes.com. Any of the aromatics from these tobacconists should...- drrock

My first american blend
I think GLP Cairo is great, a marvelous balance of Virginias with the subtle Oriental, but didn't care for Cumberland. I thought the Kentucky's were just too heavy & overwhelmed the Virginias for me. I like just about all the McClelland Virginias I've tried. 5100 is a classic must-try...- drrock

I emailed MacBaren & got the following response for Per Georg Jensen, product manager: "I have tried to find out when the 7 oz tins were taken out of the US market, but unfortunately I have not been able to find the facts.

A MacBaren question
Does anyone know when MacBaren stopped sending their pipe tobaccos to the US in 7 oz. tins? I found a vintage 7 oz. tin of an old favorite, Symphony, that was imported by Fireside Industires of Moonachie NJ. Any info greatly appreciated! Glen- drrock

Which Buttered Rum
I've tried Milan Tobacconist Buttered Rum, Iwan Ries Three Star Cordial Buttered Rum, & Consolidated Buttered Rum. I think they might even be the same relabeled baccy but don't know for sure. All three are terrific aromatics. Mild but flavorful, not goopy, and with a great room note. Highly...- drrock
