WOW. Those that said prices were going to settle down and go back down when the tins were $50-60 were dead wrong . Price goes up every day , fun to watch . I am watching 10 auctions, all the $75-80 tins were scooped up quick. At 150 I’ll sell some when I get back from vacation , $50 a Tin forget about it .

As long as their are fools and desperate souls, the price with go up.
Only until they run out of money...since there are a limited number of such fools chasing these.

There are ones with buy it now at $100 to $110 and not moving. Why the F people get in this bidding wars!@!
The prices will settle once this wave of sellers dump their tins.
What is supersing is you hardly see any blackwoods, dark star and St James Woods. No Tudor, Beacons, Bostons, etc. I think these tins could fetch higher than 40ths. I guess even scalpers can not bring themseleves to sell those gems! Or perhaps, these sellers got the tail end of the buying frenzy and all the mentioned blends were already bought up by the actual folks who age and have a cellar!
Esoterica always has buyers at 60 a tin and $150 for 8oz on ebay.
Ite fun watching this unfold!

It's too soon after McClelland's closing for the action to normalize. Check back in a couple of months. There are more sellers posting McClelland products every day. Eventually the supply, which is enormous, will outstrip demand as people turn to other blends. The panic will wear off. Prices will be higher than they were, but not like they are now.
There's little logic to it. Tins of older Christmas Cheer are fetching much higher prices than they did a few months ago, and they were no less out of production then than they are now.
Then fast forward 8 to 10 years, and those insane prices could well be the norm, or even low. Or, the whole market for vintage tobaccos could just go flat for any of a number of reasons.
There's a tin of Balkan Blue making it up there too. What make a that really funny is the order for 10 tins of them I made last week was $95.
Yep, I did the same, 10 tins. I do wonder how many of these panic buyers are from outside the US. I hope that they derive pleasure from smoking these blends commensurate with the prices they're paying.
It's been a long time since a major blender closed. There was more of that in the '70's thru '90's it seems. So the shock is big with relatively newer pipe smokers.
The 40th was the one of, if not THE, smallest production runs of any of their blends. Those will probably become the equivalent to Sobranie products in prices over time. If I decide to sell just a small portion of my stash of them a few years down the road, they could well pay for all of my cellar and pipe collection expense.
Insane.

Well darn. I have just a few tins of 40th. I had planned to open one and put some age on the others, which I also intended to smoke myself. But at $ 150 for a tin that becomes more problematic. It's as though my supply of smoking tobacco is actually getting smaller.

I think most of us have had the same thought!

I bought some other baccys last year instead, 'because I can always pick up some more 40th later'
If I recall right, there was talk on some other forums that the 40th was a regular, on going production item to take the place of their annual discontinued Christmas blends. None of this was official word from McClelland, of course. Just forum speculation and rumor.

I have 6 tins of 40th in the cellar and smoking off of a tin. I agree with sablebrush52 in that years down the road they will be sought after. At that time the price will be set so to speak and I wouldn't be against parting with a tin or two and recoup some cellar cost. We will see. Having only 6 tins in the cellar and it's so good.

If I would have known this, I would have bought more than three tins.
Well darn. I have just a few tins of 40th. I had planned to open one and put some age on the others, which I also intended to smoke myself.
I initially bought 3 tins. I figured that I'd let them age for a few years and then give them a try, since this wasn't supposed to be a limited run. But my curiosity got the better of me so I popped a tin. When I realized what I was smoking, I bought a pile of it. When I later became aware of McClelland's impending closing I was glad that I did. I buy to smoke, not to resell. But I bought enough of 40th that I could easily do both if I decide to do so.

I have 10 tins of Balkan blue in the cellar and they are going nowhere. Quite honestly I doubt I could get rid of my 40th with only 6 tins left.
