McClelland CC Editions

[SmokeClouds]

Has anyone here smoked through the entire McClelland Christmas Cheer editions, 1992, sans 1993, to 2017?
And, does anyone posses all the editions in their collection?

It is just curiosity as the tobacco was always held in high esteem and some members have been smokers for long time.
And, with which edition do you start your day?

Haha I’m kidding. But really it’s good but I like a lot of tobacco better. I’m smoking through a tin of 1997 right now.

Yep

I'm down to 2015, 2016, and 2017. All years were smoked fresh. Didn't start cellaring until the early 2000s.

I wouldn't go that far. Many fans were ridiculed for smoking ketchup. The high esteem really didn't start until McClelland closed their doors. I have always loved it though.

That is very cool!
Did you find drastic differences between them or it was more about nuances?

That would be me. Tabac au jus d'sauerkraut. I preferred the urinal puck scented tobacco from the UK.

I wish I smoked VA at that time. ?

Some were straight reds others blends of reds and oranges. 1994 remains my top of the bunch, probably mildest of all of them. You could tell they were all from the same litter but each made itself individually known.

I still think 40th Anniversary was originally intended as CC 2018.

As they get older I think it’s harder and harder to tell the differences between them.

I've smoked them all except for the 1996 and 2016 productions. Hope to try them some day.

Do you think the 97 is a bit passed it’s peak? With close to 25 years on it now, I bet it’s pretty, pretty, pretttty mild.

I think it was always pretty mild. It’s just a lot easier to smoke now.

Some folks out there claim that 40th is the best Red Virginias ever put in a tin. ️

It is a very good one, no doubt about that.
