Has Any from McClelland Actually Made a Statement About Their Future

[briarbuck]

Interesting reading. I sense an opportunity for someone.

There are several McClelland blends I've yet to try, because I don't feel my smoking/taste buds are developed enough to really 'get' what makes various high quality Virginias so good.
I've purchased a couple hundred dollars worth of McClelland blends that have gotten consistently solid reviews from folk I trust. This $200 has absolutely been affected by the panic/confusion about the future of McClelland. I don't yet know what I may like, so I limited myself to only 2-3 cans of each blend I was *most* curious to try. If I love them one day, I'll have a very limited time to love them. If I don't--I'll have a tiny stash I can trade out for something I do.
I'm trying not to be overly influenced by the panic-purchasing, but I'd always assumed that once I felt my palate was better developed I'd have time to dip into a variety of well-received Virginias, and now I don't want to miss out on some of these that *may* disappear. It's a quandary.

All this panic has pushed me to sell a tin of Tudor Castle.
I will let it go for $500.
Who wants it?

Dan,
What did they say about their plans?

Mike just laughed, and laughed and laughed.

Until I see a thread with a title very close to "Definitive, Substantial, Rock-Solid McClelland Business Information," I swear I won't read another McClelland thread. Speculation, hearsay, arguments about hearsay in the manner of he said/she said. Verified internet palaver and trash. Given the topic I can understand the posts, however, pipe smokers worried about the health of their beloved habit, but I always expect this board to be at least a cut above the internet in general, and because of the moderation most ugliness is short-lived. But no, the board is not above futile speculation, and since no one knows anything, words are inserted into the mouths of some of the most genuine and feelings get hurt.
What a mess! But it's on me to stay out of threads I find distasteful.

I smoke 965 and FMC. This is not looking to be a very good year.

Yep, until they make an announcement of some kind no use beating the dead horse until it's really dead.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Well, the horse is dead- or not! (Really dead vs dead- somewhat like a little pregnant). But point well made.
