Leftover McClelland Bulk

[DotAndBang’sPipes]

Stopped by a B&M today and found about 3 ounces of a Va flake blend called "St. Andrews" and about 7 ounces of a Va/Oriental flake blend called "Devonshire." Both were very dry (just how I like them) and then bought all of it. St. Andrews looks, smells, and tastes like Mc 5100 or 2010 or something similar, and I'm not sure about Devonshire. Any ideas which Mc blends these are? I literally felt guilty buying the last of it...but did it anyway! I don't have any Mc Va flakes in my cellar so this is a special treat.

You should ask the B&M which blends they are? Any reputable tobacconist would tell you.

Thanks Cosmic. Unfortunately they didn't know...only that they were McClelland, marked with a little "mc."

The Va Flake was probably 2010. The Devonshire could have been 2045. 2010 was a popular B&M bulk blend when it was still available. Not an Oriental fan so I can't comment on it as being a popular B&M private labeled offering.

If Devonshire is a Virginia Oriental flake without Latakia, you have perfectly described 2025. If it has latakia, then it is 2020. 5100 is not a flake, 2010 is.
