But yet it seems as though we have one that has sprayed vinegar on it. You still think this Sutliff is a naturally occurring phenomena?
I wanna see where anyone else can get that strong of a distilled grape vinegar smell out of a tobacco.
A buddy who follows the forum is bringing me a tin of C&D CVF to try tonight. I may have to do a video.
It's not that much of a mystery that vinegar/acetic acid has been traditionally used as a mold inhibitor. St Bruno used to advertise they used it on their blend as a preservative. The difference now is that in the post-McClelland era, the vinegar smell is considered desirable in itself. It isn't just a side effect. People like it. (Or some people do anyway).
You should be a political campaign manager...
So in other words you don’t know what you’re talking about...
If it has not been opened previously, I would highly recommend waiting a couple of weeks after opening before trying. Seems to make a significant difference with this blend.
Interesting how you waited until I liked your comment and responded before editing it to add a little dig at me. Very clever... you may well have a future in political campaign managment yourself.
Hardly... I’m watching Adam-12 and drinking a Merlot, not sitting on this thread... I’m semi-retired and livin the life...
In any case, the thread will still be there...
A lot of conjecture and speculation. I’m not necessarily saying I’m right, but I do tend to look into things and determine what’s reality and what’s BS. Force of habit. In my career I was responsible for developing processes and applications for business. Requirements gathering and documentation of business processes involved a little more than taking what one person might say at face value.
Basing decisions on who said what rather than whether they had any factual basis leads to pissed off shareholders and failed projects.
So that’s my frame of reference.
I’m not on this board to be the most popular, or the pipe tobacco guru.

What'd you say about muh girlfriend?
In all seriousness, I'm glad I got a chance to try some McClelland VA to see what the fuss is. No denying it was quality shit, but I'm not going to say the '07 Xmas Cheer was much better than some of the aged SG Full Va Flake I've had. Maybe my palate isn't refined or maybe I'm at a disadvantage having not had a steady diet of McClelland'a for years, but to me, a red Va is a red Va. They're good or not so good or bad.
