Here it is, page 2, 5 posts down-thread

However, that's 2023... we know that C&D is sold in US style cans in Germany, but now in the UK, good old round tins (never seen a US style can of anything sold here). Would Kopp do two different packages, or would they sub-contract the UK style to Wilsons? We're not at the bottom of this yet!

1 tin of McClelland #5110.
Ravenwood Tobacco has acquired some from 2012 and is selling it in 50gr tins.
I bit pricey but I missed the whole "McClelland era" being primarily a cigar smoker during that time.
So, I decided to splurge a bit and give it a try. I am eagerly awaiting its arrival.
Very cool score, but I downgraded my “wow” to a “like” on account I misread it as “5100” (amazing how our minds see what we we want to see instead of what is there sometimes😉).

Well, if 5100 is a "wow", I'll keep an eye out for it. Though knowing the rarity of certain McClelland tobaccos, I doubt an (affordable) opportunity will present itself.

I’m sure 5110 is a wow, but I’m not an English blend guy.
Some days I’m glad I don’t know what I missed, some days I’d love to know-it’s all part of the fun.
It’s not like McClelland products no longer exist. You could buy some but I guess it’s a matter of priorities. I’d prefer 100 grams of Xmas Cheer and you’d prefer a pound of Match Victorian and that’s ok.

That it is.

I just re-upped with 8oz of Firedance Flake to back up the 8oz I’m about to open.
The one on my shelf (top in pic) I bought last year and it’s 6 days fresher than the one I just received in the mail today🤔

Never would've figured that baby for a Blackjack fan. Seems like a Vanilla Custard devotee, through and through...who'd have thought?!
According to the claim made with the image, smoking harms my children, family and friends. I shall make sure to let them know that they shouldn't smoke, while I, on the other hand, can chug away like a train.

Glad you posted. I looked at their website and they are out of the Wessex burley but oh boy they had their st Bruno marked down enough I bought all their tins. Their RR is marked down pretty low too.
I was surprised to see the Wessex burley in stock (and may have bought the last one); it's new to me, so I figured that I'd give it a try. Same with St. Bruno: I don't know whether it will become a favorite, but I'll likely enjoy it--there are very few tobaccos I've disliked so far.
