I forgot, 10 tins each of McCranies Red Ribbon and Red Flake.
Yep, those and the Nording blends count.?
I have no idea. 28 tins of 40th, maybe 20 tins of McCranie's Red Ribbion and Red Flake, a few lbs of 5100, 2010, 2015, 10 tins of Red&Black, tins of Tudor Castle, 10-15 tins of various Christmas Cheers, 7 tins each of 27, 25, 22, some Yenidge Supreme, and a few tins each of maybe 7 to 10 other McClelland blends like Deep Hollow, Dark Star, Blackwoods Flake, etc and some otherstuff that lurking in the back of my memory, like Tawney Flake, Blue Mountain, etc. I once estimated it at around 30 lbs total. Not a lot, but enough.
Being that I have to pay top dollar I only have 2 Christmas Cheers, 1 40th anniversary, 1 Beacon Extra, and 1 Blackwoods Flake.
I often thought about taking a photo of my entire McClelland stash last year, but then I just kept adding more, and I continue to add more, so I don’t know when I should take the photo.
I sold about 95% of my stash and have maybe a half dozen tins tucked away for special occasions. I reinvested some of the proceeds in going deep and wide on a number of GL Pease blends.
Even though I enjoy them, above retail for anything they made would've stayed my hand.
Not as much as I would like to have. It is what it is, and I refuse to go out on the aftermarket and pay a premium.
I do have a nice stash of McCranie's Red Ribbon.

.Why should I care I can get G&H easily and that is good enough for me

I ended up counting 490 tins. The one thing is, all 490 of them were purchased before I had any idea they were going to close up shop. I just happened to really like smoking their stuff so I stocked up.
Three, one open tin of Dark Star, one Christmas Cheer, and one Navy Cavendish. I'm a burley guy first, so I may not experience the loss of these masters of the Virginia leaf quite as acutely, but I certainly admire the blends. I miss Frog Morton Cellar, too. My last TAD was a 14 oz. tub of SWR regular.
