It makes my sinuses burn just reading about guys smoking this.
@Servant King that Sir is the quote of the day ! My similar adage is I’d rather circumcise myself with a rusty Heinz Beans tin ?
Happy smokes

Trying to match another guys blend is the same as chasing fool's gold. A waste of time.
Is it not possible to create a blend and before mixing, you take the weights of each component tobacco so you know how to recreate the blend in the future? Or is there too much variation between the tobaccos that you have to blend based only on taste? I'm new to blending, so forgive me for my ignorance.
Matching processes and tobacco from a particular strain or vintage isn't 100% possible. They can only approximate. The McNeil's were adamant about not letting proprietary information be revealed for fear of future bastardization of their products.
I think I understand, since you can't simulate the exact conditions and processes of blending you can only ever got an approximation.
I agree completely. I didn't find them that similar. I personally prefer F&T Blackjack as an alternative to 5100. Even Old Gowrie although it has some other components. I'm thankful I manned to find 4 or 5 pound of 5100 before it was all gone.
Gosh, I'm sorry about that. Please don't sue! ?
No, really, it was a great, righteous laugh that I really needed. I must admit as well that I stole it completely and said it at work, and it had the same effect on my coworkers.
You do great work, sir.
Glad to hear it! Just mail me 50 bags of Peacehaven, and we'll call it an even trade...

Esoterica VA flake. I don't chase unicorns, but...suffice to say, it's better than the aforementioned lobster/orangutan scenario.
Have the Mclelland owners not shared their production information with anyone?
It really seems a huge waste of basic human energy to take something like that to your grave, the only way society advances is standing on the achievements of those who came before.
I'm not saying that 5100 is as important as penicillin or that anyone is going to die if it's never replicated, but anyone who believes in the basic progress of humanity should be able to understand it's important to pass on your achievements to future generations.
