I remember at the Chicago Show when Iwan Ries had that pile of McClelland for sale. I saw the line to buy and said no Thanks and continued checking the tables.
I felt good though leaving it for people who really enjoyed their blends. They had a tin limit but I cant remember what it was...

I’m gonna make a special edition VaKyKyWe and call it Toto’s Pleasure. Then another cherry blend with PePeCaCaKyKy and call it No Place Like Home. Also an English crossover called Wicked Witch’s Itch.

You think it's all marketing hype? Perhaps there was a limited quantity of 18 year old perique. C&D has made many special releases under their name and others that have been very good. You'd be well served to not overlook them.

I happened to see that when it went live on the site. Then I realized I have to damn much tobacco... I passed on it.

So five years from now I guess I won’t be posting in “What are you smoking” here’s me smoking 2020 XX. ?

If that is haunting you five years from now, pm me and I'll send you some. You don't seem like the sort that is haunted by such a thing but just in case, you have an out.

Did you like Sansepolcro? I really liked that one. That one is supposed to come out again from what I heard.
I dislike this blend

This is a terrible blend. Try not buying any more when/if it ever becomes available. It is so bad in fact that I will purchase as much as I can the next available opportunity, simply to help any and all with the dilemma of disappointment.

First wave sold out in about 3-4 hours.
Huh. Dunno, just saw it and bought a few tins when it first became available. Guess timing is everything. Went back and bought more of it later on, and added more when the final shipment of it, which I knew about in advance, showed up. I think I still have about 30 tins of it, so I'm set. It's about as fine a McClelland red Virginia as I've smoked.

I bought 10 on the release date and when the second shipment arrived a few weeks later I picked up 20 more. Without specifics, Mike said it may be a good idea to buy it if I liked it in September of that year so I picked up 10 more.

I doubt I’ll ever get to smoke all of my 500 or so Mcclelland tins. They were all bought before anyone had any idea they’d be going out of business. I just happened to think they made some fine blends
