Has Any from McClelland Actually Made a Statement About Their Future

[elvergun]

I've bought too much 40th and discovered I love Deep Hollow a bit too late...

This is all very frustrating.

In a year or two you will probably be able to trade 40th for Deep Hollow without a problem.

40th is a future currency. Like bit coin!

Any McClelland virginia blend will be worth it's weight in gold.
I see 40th selling on ebay for around $35 a tin...and it is still available at Smoking. Imagine how much it will go for when it finally sells out. In two or three years it will sell for crazy prices.

I know I know... but I can't smoke that now, lol!

 

[zitotczito]

Hmmmm, I wonder if I should buy more?

 

[zitotczito]

25 tins of the 40th just got taken in less than a few minutes and only 494 left.

 

[coyja]

OMG, I think it was in the 700s last night...

I'm thinking that if they are limited to 10k tins, that there might be a little more after this, but not much.

And slowly but surely the last tins of other McClelland blends are selling out everywhere. I bought a ton of McClelland, but I feel I was unprepared and could have done better. My supply of Dark Star sucks. I always imagined I could just go online and buy a couple more tins whenever I needed to do so. All good things come to those who wait? Ha...not when it comes to pipe smoking.

I'll look around. I did order a bunch of Butera Royal Vintage Dark Stoved.

I'm not buying any more McClellands right now, because I have a fair stash of tobaccos for my needs, but I'm not opening any McClellands either, to see how rare a bird I have in these tins. They are the master blender of Virginias, to my tastes. Others do a fine job, but they are the primo blender. That's how I feel about C&D and burley. Then there's Russ O. who can do it all. I am so glad C&D passed off its blending to SPC once the originators were gone or retired. I'm still suspecting, on a very outside bet, that Dunhill will finally pass off its trademark brands to a different owner, whether that would mean maintenance of their character and quality or not, which would remain to be seen. I think this has been the nature of the pipe tobacco market for many years, if you review the history.

I agree...I think we will see Dunhill again. Hopefully whoever takes the helm does it justice.

I just ordered three 100g tins of 40th.

Someone would've by now and looming FDA regulations will make it very unlikely!

I just raided them for 15.
It's out everywhere else...

 

[snagstangl]

As far as Dunhill goes, I think it won't be gone for a while. Mostly because I think many retailers of cigars would have a few tins of dunhill stuff even if they carry nothing else.

 

[gkr1]

My B&M sells DNR for small price of $35.99 plus tax.
Normal tins are $26.99
They sure will sit around untill we really need them.
His McCelland has been raided. He had 5 Tudoar Castle which I bought myself at huge premium along with few Balkan Beauties. My buddy got all his Dark Star and St.James Woods.

Still some in stock. They must have had a boatload.

 

[ben88]

Not a big VA smoker, but just in case got 5 tins. May be for future trades.

 

[kcghost]

And the clock keeps ticking.

 

[seacaptain]

Their Red and Black is out now too. Good stuff, I bought one tin a few days ago.
