ISO McClelland Deep Hollow

[Jbrewer2002]

Does anyone have a tin of McClelland Deep Hollow that they would be willing to sell or trade?

I finished up my last tin a few months ago.
BUT I will offer up the knowledge that Grey Havens is VERY similar in flavor.

It’s on Tinbids quite often.

I guess I don’t check it enough. I’ll have to keep an eye out better. A gentleman shared a bowl with me at the Columbus pipe show and I liked it. I figured it can’t hurt to ask.

Ha! You are not alone in that. Sorry.
Yes, I am serious this time.

An apple/vanilla aromatic named after a location from Tolkien's work.

An apple/vanilla aromatic named after a location from Tolkien's work.

The sample I had almost didn’t even seem like an aro. You could tell there were other flavors there but well balanced.

On the note about the name, after researching it and finding this out I immediately thought about the other thread about Tolkiens IP.

That's actually sad. It's one of the best aromatics ever made.

That’s high praise coming from you, now I want a tin.

I’m guessing that the flavoring hasn’t held up well over time? Don’t know.

In a freshly opened tin, it's fine but finishing the tin in a week or two is a must.

Maybe because it's lighter than other aros you've had? I agree with Mr Embers, a favorite aro. I dip into my last can dated 2014 on special occasions, still has all the original flavors, has aged well.

Hard to find a subtle apple aro, but if you want a good light vanilla try Mac Baren Vanilla Creme, which ages well also.

I’m guessing the tin I had my sample from may have been open for a bit. I’m not saying it didn’t taste like an aro. It was just a well balanced flavor.
