Oh My... Lookie What I Found :)

A limited-run tin of something Mike & Mary called "Westport" that they made to commemorate the KC Pipe Club's 2012 show.

Sittin' in a box, it was...

All hiding in the dark waiting to be discovered...

100% Virginias, it looks like.

The succulent leaves that McClelland is most famous for.

yum yum

What a perfect way to celebrate World No Tobacco Day.

Either that or straight to TinBids!

Awesome! Still looking forward to the day when my cellar is stocked well enough that I just stumble upon a forgotten hidden treasure now and then. Enjoy!

A love those little surprises. I just recently came across a 2012 tin of their 35 year Anniversary blend (the stave aged VA). I still haven’t tried it but after recently opening a tin of Brindle Flake, it’s got me excited about McClelland VA’s again.

That looks like some pretty toxic stuff, you better let me come get that from you for proper disposal...

Shopping at home. if you buy more than you smoke, there's no telling what you might find. I have some Christmas Cheer and some Navy Cavendish waving to me from the top of my cabinet.

Nice find! I have a few McClelland tins sitting in my cellar. I think I still remember what they are. Need to age longer so they can become a pleasant discovery.

Nothing you can do about it George. You recall that we couldn't even sell it all at the show. A number of tins had to be saved until the next year.

Nothing you can do about it George.

Of course there is.

First, you open the tin. Then, you transfer some of what's INSIDE the tin to a pipe bowl. Then, you touch it with a bit of fire while puffing on the pipe's stem.

Not difficult at all. (Though it can be a bit fussy)

Put down that cigar, find a pipe somewhere, and give it a try.

You know I smoke two bowls a day, don't you??
