Collectible Tobacco Question

[alan73]

So there are obviously several tobaccos that have a collectibility factor.

My question is what type of quantities of tins or bags are produced in a given year.

Examples:
how many tins of McClelland 40th anniversary were made for 2017-2018?

how many bags of Esoterica Penzance or Stonehaven get made a year ?
How many tins were made by McClelland Xmas cheer in 1992 or any year for that matter?

I’ve looked for this type of info but never found anything. .

12 or so...

Enough to keep some people happy. And enough to keep some people searching

The only blender that I know for sure that does this is C&D for their Small Batch/Limited Edition releases.

Such as "4,680/10,000".

I don't remember seeing any such labelling for the McClelland limited releases, but there could be posts in past forums that divulge that info.

Esoterica's blends are not "limited releases", they just don't produce a lot at a time, so I doubt there is any information available as to their annual production unless you obtained it directly from Germain & Son's.

My personal rule appears to be very simple. If I have it nobody wants it...if I want it, nobody has it. That is all I need to know about collectible tobacco.
