What the heck is this, anyone ever hear of a Draper 2008 from Mcclelland?

Interesting. Maybe they found something in a storeroom. McClelland made a lot of private label bulks for tobacconists. There's no description of the Draper blend.

I was thinking this to be the case. Luckily neither really peak my interested.

I just bought a half pound of each.
Cautiously optimistic.

Looks like a pretty nice/serious looking shop.

I’ll call them Monday to inquire about these.

Save me some! LOL

Fascinating!

But also terrible news for me.

Reading this will only feed the tortured urge that I get every time I walk into a new brick and mortar shop. You know, the feeling that if you just dig far enough into the back of their shelves, you'll surely find a dusty-but-perfectly-sealed tin of an unobtainable tobacco with it's original price tag on it.

Best I could find.

This. Posting anything desirable and all but unobtainable online virtually guarantees it'll get completely bought out almost instantly. Heck, there are bots and lurkers that scour the site just looking for info like this.

 

[AJL67]

Wrong thread, also passed on buying any of this so hopefully someone will post any facts they get.

 

[PipeIT]

@greeneyes It still shows plenty online.

Just called myself - funny, guy said they've had about 8 orders in the past week for this stuff.
The Draper 2008 is an aromatic they had blended for the shop. He described it as an old school plum/wine flavor profile.

 

[PipeIT]

$20 Flat Rate shipping, ouch!

I have heard of Draper's before. They are a reputable dealer. Even in a B&M I am surprised that they have anything left. I know shop in the Overland Park area who has some tins left but he's wanting Fallonesque money to buy one or more.

 

[AJL67]

Has anyone ordered and if so have the gotten their order? I ordered a small portion of each for the hell of it, i got an email 2 days later saying the order was processed and now a couple days after that nothing, I would think for the shipping cost you'd get a tracking number or email saying it's shipped, maybe they just ship really slow. =P

The Draper 08 is definitely an aromatic. Haven’t smoked either yet.
