    McClelland CC Editions

    Great insight guys, thanks. I had the opportunity to smoke some, by no means many, therefore my opinion is not well rounded. The ones I tried I enjoyed, each for it’s own merits. It is like asking wine aficionados what their favorite vintage from a reputable winemaker is.

    They retired leaving a masterpiece behind. Much respect.

    McClelland CC Editions

    That is very cool! Did you find drastic differences between them or it was more about nuances?

    McClelland CC Editions

    It is just curiosity as the tobacco was always held in high esteem and some members have been smokers for long time. And, with which edition do you start your day?

    McClelland CC Editions

    Has anyone here smoked through the entire McClelland Christmas Cheer editions, 1992, sans 1993, to 2017? And, does anyone posses all the editions in their collection?

    What Can You do with Mouldy Tobacco, if Anything?

    I would discard the jar and the tobacco in the trash bin. Tobacco is cheap, being healthy is priceless.

    Empty Tobacco Cans

    Use them for screws and bolts, as candleholders or to the recycling bin if they get rust.

    Runaway Humidor Humidity and Mold on Cigars

    I would discard all the moldy cigars and the cigar oasis. Would wipe the plastic interior of the humidor with vinegar. Dry and air it out. Never used active humidification, only passive. Heartfelt beads served me very well for 10+ years in multiple humidors.

    Which Brandy or Cognac?

    If cellared properly it can increase in complexity in my opinion.

    Which Brandy or Cognac?

    Very happy to have the opportunity to chat about them as well, especially on such a forum. In New York city, most wine professionals are Sherry enthusiasts but the population at large, unfortunately, has very little interest. Much was tried to promote the category, however little progress was...

    Which Brandy or Cognac?

    Will definitely look it up. All their products are of very high quality. Is it cask strength?

    Do You Like the Taste of a Really Good Cigar?

    I am both a cigar and pipe smoker. Enjoy them very much for different reasons. Lately it has been more pipe smoking due time constraints. Preferred cigar size is Churchill but very seldom I have the time to take on such a pleasurable project. Never liked to put out and relight a cigar.

    New York

    Barclay Rex, on Pearl st, in the Financial District is your best bet. The Davidoff stores, 2 in Manhattan and 1 in Brooklyn, are geared more towards cigar smokers. If I may suggest, if you happen to visit Barclay and time permits, the Museum of the American Indians is a close 5 min walk, at...

    Very fascinating blasts. Never had one of his pipes but hopefully sometime in the future. When he posts new pipes on his site they sell in a matter of minutes. Good luck finding what you are looking for and please post about the progress.
