McClellands IS GONE?

I've always enjoyed the vinegar/ketchup myself.

As do I, but I posted this information for those not so taken by the ketchup/vinegar, which largely smells like acetic acid.

So shayde...how about replacing those McClelland blends with some Dunhills? Lots of people seem to like the Dunhill blends...
:D

Their matches won me over years ago especially Sutliff's take on Murray's Elizabethan.

Sutliff's take on Murray's Elizabethan

I've been meaning to try that one, I've read good things about it.

Is Dunhill actually back or coming back? Because that was the original scare when I first came back on the forums, but I’ve seen several threads saying they will be back. But the threads were from a little ways back and I’ve had no luck finding any Dunhill online that isn’t severely marked up.

For real? That's incredible. Businesses that treat their employees well are in dwindling supply, and treating your employees "well" still falls considerably short of describing the act of paying off a friggin' mortgage for an employee suffering an emergency. Props, kudos, respect.

Yes, for real.
Plus a lot more instances similar to it. Being an employee of theirs wasn't a requirement, either. That spirit is simply how they see and deal with the world.

LOL, Jaytex. RIP to that goofy frog.
When I die, I want a New Orleans funeral. Ah, who am I kidding.. When I die my family will just burn me up and toss my ashes in a flood control creek as they drive by.

Damn. Sound like very good folks. I hope they enjoy their well-earned retirement.

Being in Europe I never tried any mcclellands blends like wise Pease blends,now if Gawith Hoggarth went thats something

different.

Each too their own :D
@shayde

It appears that the STG made blends that were branded "Dunhill" may indeed be going back into production, just without the Dunhill name. STG secured the rights to the blend names and the tin art, so you will be able to recognize them.
Actual Dunhill tobacco is not coming back and has been gone since the early 1980's.

Dunhill is history. You will be able to by tins of some outlier that's called Dunhill but its not "Dunhill".

I'm already missing that "ketchup-ey" flavor of Blackwoods Flake. :?
