Just bought the full line of the 7seas by MacBaren.
Also score a few old cans from my grandfather. He had them lying around in the back of a cabinet with about an inch of dust on them.
14oz P.A
Barking Dog 2oz
Country Doctor 2oz
Argosy Black 2oz
and a pouch of CBG
Not a bad day for my TAD now just waiting for the 7seas to get here.

When I got home from work I found an email from Mark at SP confirming an order for 2 bags of Penzance. On one of my last few orders I had told him to reserve a couple for me. When I called to confirm payment I decided to add a box of PS Bull's Eye to get the order up over $95 and get free shipping (it would have cost $7.39 otherwise). Got the LAST bag.
Lisa said the Penzance had sold out in less than 3 hours. She couldn't confirm anything about a Gawith shipment but said that the Dunhill is on it's way and should be in shortly.

hobie1dog,
I don't think Penzance is out-of-production, I think it is just highly sought after and it 'disappears' from online stores and store shelves quickly because production of it is slow. That said, if you can get a tin or two of it, it can't hurt. You could easily trade it or hold on to it for when it is hard-to-find again and there is a demand for it.

Customer Service at IRC, SP and P&C have told me the same thing, their current shipments of Penzance are at nearly the same level they were a year or two ago. The problem is that, because of the recent shortage, as soon as it's posted to their website they're flooded with orders and it usually sells out in a few hours. As soon as customers are satisfied that supplies will continue to arrive things should slack off a lot.
I expect the same thing to happen when the first shipments of Dunhill and Samuel Gawith arrive, they'll be gone in hours.

I've added to my modest stash of tins, the following (copied and pasted from order confirmation):
Samuel Gawith GROUSEMOOR 50g
Solani 656 AGED BURLEY FLAKE
Cornell & Diehl BURLEY FLAKE.
I have so many opened tins now that I've not even touch my last order and have no idea when I'll get to these but I really want to try the Grousemoor.

The recent order has been for 6 tins of 2010 McClelland Anniversary.
I'm a big fan of the '02 and '05 issues and anticipate enjoying this
one as well. For me, this is certainly among the best blends McClelland's
has produced. I wouldn't mind if it became a yearly tradition, like
Christmas Cheer... http://www.pipeshowonline.net/McClelland_Anniversary.php

Hey Fred,
I would be very interested in your appraisal/review of the 2010 McClelland Anniversary when you try it.

Sorry for the second post, but Collindow got me thinking about fruit flavored blends.
Something I love and cannot locate anywhere is a good Apple blend.
I used to buy Wessex Brigade Apple as regular as clock-work. It bit like a junk yard dog, and ghosted a pipe with the first draw, but man did taste good.
If I was to dedicate a pipe to a blend it would be Wessex Brigade Apple. I used to smoke it in my American Calabash and probably will again... if I could only locate some.

The tins are en route Pstlpkr. I'll get back with impressions of McClelland
Anniversary 2010, as I'm anxious to try it as well. Although both the '02
and the '05 issues are good, to me the '02 issue stands above the '05, which
is a stellar blend just the same. The difference I find is likely due to
seasonal variation in character of the Virginias use to blend this favorite
of mine.

My latest arrival of tobacco was waiting for my when I got home today!
So I tore into the box and found about 6 pounds of tobacco!
Its 1 pound 1Q, 1 pound BCA. 1 pound RLP-6, 1 pound of the best of the rest, and 2 packs of 12 ounce "Super Value" tobacco... I use the last to for blending experiments!
