alternate source for mccranies tabac, canada post on strike..

[rick777]

Does anyone know an alternate online source for Mccranies red ribbon, red flake etc, other than Mccranies?

They (McCranie) only ship postal.

Canada post is on strike, senate threatening delays on back to work legislation, big mess.
Thanks in advance
Rick

My only thought would be to see if one of our fine North Carolina brethren here would be willing to send some out UPS or FedEx. I personally would rather see the strike end, but as Mama used to say, "If you got your wishes in one hand and your sh*t in the other, which one is gonna get filled up quicker?" :lol:

I can walk to McCranies, and am usually there 4 evenings per week hanging out with the regulars. Send me lots of American dollars :D I have both FedEx and UPS stores within walking distance too ( not that I'd actually walk ) 8O

Yep send a fellow some money and they can ship it UPS or FedEx. Oh and for the record.....McCranie's Red Ribbon/Flake, Murdock's Pipe and Somerled are only available from McCranie's. Granted I have heard stories of tobacconists buying the stuff at shows, then turning around and selling the stuff out the back door of their shops....that's a testiment on how great Red Ribbon and Red Flake are.

I have 5100 on order for next week. (duty free maximum of 200g, I order every 2 weeks or so.)
I have tried the Mclelland classic virginia 2010, didn't mind it at all!
I have heard so much about red ribbon I had to try it.

A local pipe maker and acquaintance smokes it exclusively.
