Has Any from McClelland Actually Made a Statement About Their Future

[azpipe]

Or is it all hearsay?
I see so much panic, and my source says this, and I heard from a guy, and so on.......
What gives?

 

[seacaptain]

I hope they're not going out of business. They're one of three brands I care about, Dunhill being one also. So, my tobacco world is teetering on the brink.

There has been no official announcement from the McNeils. Everything is based on hearsay.

*heresy*

 

[jzbdano]

I read on this site that someone from another site said they are going to make an announcement soon. I haven't seen anything official from them yet.

"heresy"

This is great! I hope it nevers ends. ::

 

[jzbdano]

I agree Cortez, this McClellands situation draws me to this site 5 times more than normal.

 

[doctorbob]

Hearsay at this point. Unfortunately, one of the sources I have heard this from is very trustworthy, and he is in a position that he should know.
FMC is one of my all-time favorites, if it goes away I'll be very disappointed.

That was me hoping this is all just a heresy committed against McClelland. A heresy based on hearsay, if you will.

 

[cigrmaster]

The reason I believe it is true is because of this statement.
"MO2 – No longer produced McClelland’s #27 Matured "
I took that quote from Pipestud's site. If anyone would know about this situation is is him.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Heresay combined with the fact that 75% plus of their products are sold out on the major internet sellers’ sites. Hope springs eternal though.

 

[deathmetal]

These losses, while painful, are somewhat galvanizing to the pipe community.
Just remember that voting is great, but armed revolution is more compelling, if you win.
You heard of the Whiskey Rebellion?
We can do better with the Tobacco Insurrection.
Lock 'n load!

 

[cfreud]

No official work but don't let that stop you from a spectacular speculation stampede, which seems to have happened already with McClelland tobaccos.

 

[perdurabo]

If they're not closing shop, then this was a huge money campaign that has paid off.

 

[oldgeezersmoker]

If smokingpipes.com's sudden influx of McClelland tobacco in recent weeks (as shown by checking their stock levels, not only for 40th Anniversary, but a wide cross section of their line) is not a "bulk sale", I have never seen one. You don't need a weatherman.....

 

[mawnansmiff]

It could well be just hearsay but the fact that so many of their blends are sold out and no signs of them being restocked by the retailers cannot be ignored.
Also, many have reported that their local B&M has told them they are unable to restock their products.
What surprises me most is the speed at which all of this has happened. One has to wonder who is next?

Jay.

this McClellands situation draws me to this site 5 times more than normal.

And the situation leads us to make 5 times more panic purchases.
I've got so many orders in the mail that I've lost track of what I bought. I guess I'll find out when I open the packages.

 

[coyja]

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

This is all very frustrating.

 

[mcitinner1]

There's no such thing as too much 40th.
