    A Nic-bomb replacement for Dunhill Nightcap

    Artisan's Blend. Same strength and the same flavor profile -- maybe a tad sweeter.

    Seattle Pipe Club Plumb Pudding

    I actually prefer the 'normal' Plum Pudding. The latakia content (or strength) is more more to my liking -- I can taste all the individual components, with some dominating the others as you work down the bowl.. All I can taste in the SR is the latakia.

    Sweetest Tobacco Blend (Still Available)

    The two sweetest blend that I have tried, which are also readily available, are Deception Pass and Aj's Vaper. I don't think they have any casing. Both of them are also really good.

    The Real Popeye

    Thanks for posting. I loved the cartoons. I also loved the comic books they sold in Italy when I was a kid. Braccio di Ferro In Italy he is known as Braccio di Ferro (Arm of Steel...meh, sounds better in Italian).

    Your Top 5 Tobaccos

    It is interesting that there are not many McClellands on most of these lists. I see a couple listed here and there, but after all the McC drama a couple of months ago, I expected to see more. Edit: I just read the rules...only blends you can buy right now. My bad.

    Anyone Really Like Falcons? Or Hate ‘Em?

    This is exactly my situation. Falcons are okay. Not bad...but not great.

    Plum Pudding Special Reserve In Stock

    Ha...with me it's the other way around. If anyone wants to trade some Plum Pudding for some PPSR, send me a PM. :puffpipe:

    Am I Too Late?

    I don't think that there are many members who think that McClelland is/was not that good. Almost everything they made was good. Whether you like McClelland blends or not is a different story...but you can't deny that they made very good blends. Nine out of ten dentists agree that McClelland...

    Similar Blend to McClelland #24?

    Same with my local tobacconists - these guys were living in La La Land. They had no idea the end was coming. One of them even suggested, after he knew McClelland was closing, that he was going to call them to stock up on what he thought was stored in some warehouse...but the shelves at the...

    Change is Good

    I'm also one of those who is gravitating from English blends to VaPers and Virginias. Still enjoy a good dose of Latakia now and then. You can't go wrong with Nightcap, Artisan's Blend or Plum Pudding...but nothing beats Beacon Extra, Scottish Cake or Escudo.

    Look CAREFULLY Before You Leap

    gkr1...that sucks. Looks like your can rusted though not only at the solder spots. I hope it is not a total loss and that you can enjoy the rehydrated tobacco.

    Doom and gloom, gkr1. :puffpipe:

    Dunhill Availability

    Artisans is a little sweeter...Nightcap is a little stronger. These are two of my favorite blends. I prepared for the Dunhill apocalypse -- now it seems I need to prepare for the downfall of Artisan's Blend. Damn...when it rains, it pours.

    Dunhill Availability

    This is the first time I've heard about this. Can't be in every thread...and I have not been here that long to follow the discussions that have been going on for at least a year. Charmed, I'm sure. :laughat:

    Dunhill Availability

    I didn't say YOU said it was the reason. No? You are a real charmer then. Jeez, people seem to be on edge nowadays.

    Dunhill Availability

    Well, according to that thread, K&K kinda-sorta admitted that they are now using Cyprian latakia...so if it is being discontinued, it seems that Syrian latakia is not the reason.

    Artisan's Blend is going to be discontinued?
