Mrs. Pickles: I got a perfume flavor, but not the rose infused grandma’s perfume like a Gawith, more alcohol based like a Chanel #5 type of note. I didn’t enjoy it, but didn’t find it as awful as many have, just not my cuppa.

I really liked Clan tobacco when I was in Europe and just noticed it’s an STG product. Who can we petition/beg to bring it to the States? What other STG blends are Europe only right now?
When was that? Clan has changed many times, not always for the best.

I've had Clan once... to my understanding it s like the European version of Mixture 79, in that... a few weirdos like it, and they like to let everyone know that they like it, so that they let the rest of us know that they are weirdos. puffy
Just kidding... I'm sure everyone that likes it, isn't as whacked out as fans of Mixture 79. Ha ha. JK, they probably are. puffy

Sir, you live in the States, where you can purchase things like Peretti, Pease and Diehl…and you are looking for “our” Clan??
There is a saying in Italy, “chi ha il pane non ha i denti, chi ha i denti non ha il pane” (people who got bread don’t have teeth, people who got teeth don’t have bread) and I think it fits quite well in this situation 😂.
If you smuggle me some Peretti omega I swear I’ll come to the USA with a cargo of Clan.

See, I actually dislike Mixture 79. Clan tastes closer to a Lakeland to me. Though I will admit it’s mostly nostalgia prompting me to get some.

It’s mostly nostalgia, but yeah, I smoked a lot of Amphora, Clan, and HU while living in Germany. HU Zulu was my main blend and happy we now can get it. I don’t smoke LJP’s Omega—I’m a Tashkent/Oriental #40 guy—but I’ll give it a try!

I get you, mine was just a little joke. You know, here in Italy pipe tobaccos are not very common, quite pricey and online buying is not permitted, so if the tobacconist in your town is not a pipe smoker..you are basically doomed because you will find one or max two types of pipe tobacco…but Clan is ALWAYS present. You can go to the most hidden in the mountains tobacconist and I swear he will have a (dry maybe) tin of Clan somewhere.
I have to admit Clan has one of the best room notes, though.

I have both Clan and Mixture 79 on my bench right now... That is what I have been smoking all week in the shop.
