Newbie with McClelland.... Smoke Now, Stow Away or Both?

[cohibajoe]

I will be smoking my frogs in the next few years. My McClelland Virginia’s will be spending the next decade hiding in the cellar. Smoke a tin now and save the rest.

Sounds good to me....I was watching Mike McNeil on YouTube (2016/17) and he said to put these away for 5yrs. Also the Tins are Vacuumed Sealed and are Food Graded lined. He said you would not see Rust in there tins. Since I did go Crazy as to the last batch from SP...I will put half of FMC (15/100g tins) to sleep. The rest...Smoke!!!!

Can you imagine 40th Ann. Flake in 5 or 10 years? I'd like to keep one for even longer just to see.

I definitely wish I had bought more of the 40th when it was readily available. I buy baccy to smoke, not as an 'investment', but McClelland closing shop will impact how soon I'll open each tin now.
