What Is The Most Out Of Production Tobacco In Your Collection?

[orlandofurioso]

Eleven "Tall Boy " Dunhill Standard Mixture tins. Last of the Dunhill production 1970-1981, "painted " label .
One ancient Dunhill Cuba ; paper label.
One Sobranie of London Virginian No. 10 ( nineties ? )
Plenty McClelland Froggies in all blends and formats.
Some more I do not recall

So you were hoarding even before that was a thing?

Hoarding avant la lettre ?

I have just a few -- Dark Star, Navy Cavendish, Christmas Cheer, some Dunhills like Aperitif, Navy Rolls, and Royal Yacht. Compared to the pipe store inventories of others, I got nothing. And that's okay. I'm a slow smoker, and what I have will hold me for years. And of course, I re-ordered two tins of Peterson last night on sale, 3-P and Irish Flake, that are current production.

2 100g tins of HH Acadian Perique.

I have some jarred. Wasn’t this a wonderful blend. Flavor from the tobaccos. No topping on this one.

One lone tin of Samuel Gawith Brown Sugar Flake. Trying to get myself to open it, but also trying the pare down the number of open tins I have.

Being a huge fan of Orlik Golden Sliced, I regret never having had an opportunity to try Orlik Brown Sliced - it's my sole unicorn/white whale. I love what Samuel Gawith does with tobacco and look forward to trying their take on the Orlik Brown blend.

I only got started in this hobby in very late 2019, so the only out of production blends in my collection are an ounce of bulk HH Vintage Syrian from a tobacco shop I visited once and a tin each of HH Acadian Perique and John Cotton Smyrna from one of my very first P&C orders before they apparently stopped making them.

2 100g tins of HH Acadian Perique.

HH Acadian Perique

I have some jarred. Wasn’t this a wonderful blend. Flavor from the tobaccos. No topping on this one.

Uhhh.... are you guys referring to a different HH Acadian Perique than the one that's available?

 

[Grangerous]

Uhhh.... are you guys referring to a different HH Acadian Perique than the one that's available?

Currently Available. I have some jarred from 2014. Assumed it extinct since Karam mentioned it. Great blend. Glad it’s still around.

 

[Spa32]

Several McClelland blends.

So you were hoarding even before that was a thing?

I was merely heeding the wisdom of my elders who proclaimed:

"Go now and gather the fruits of the field from far and wide whilst ye may.

For a shadow is spreading across the Land, and there will be great weeping and lamentation.

The fields will no longer bear a bountiful crop and the fruits thereof will stinketh.

And some keepers of the crop and tenders to it will bear false witness proclaiming there is no shadow
and abundance is better than ever.

And the true of heart will fold up their tents and head for the Zoo.

And prices will rise as quality falls

And the tax collector will carry out his grim task."

McClelland 40th Anniversary
Frog Morton On the Town
McClelland 2015 Bulk Va/Per
HH Vintage Syrian

I also have a few tins of Ashton’s Artisans Blend from back when it contained Syrian Latakia. I know that probably doesn’t count, but the current production is not the same blend as it was a few years ago.

 

[sablebrush52]

Uhhh.... are you guys referring to a different HH Acadian Perique than the one that's available?

Whoopsies! I'd heard that it had ceased to be. Haven't bought any in years.

 

[Ahi Ka]

Condor, erinmore and warrior plugs.
Ogden’s st Bruno flake.

On another note. Arcadian is still in stock down under…but at $120us per 50g it may as well be consignment. On another note, these were sealed 100g tins until last month when new legislation limited tobacco for sale to individual quantities no greater than 2oz. Now that would have been a great job popping everything

 

[sablebrush52]

Yeah, I forgot about D&R Blender's Bench - Aged Yenidge, several tubs of the 10 year barrel aged perique (which is actually 18 years old), Acadian Virginia, Good stuff. Also picked up a few pounds of McClelland blending Virginia.

I have one interesting out of production tin to share, this Mac Baren HH Highland Blend tin, shown on the right side of this photo:



It was a short lived member of the "HH" lineup from 2011. This particular tin is number 281 of the first 500 released, numbered and signed by Per Jensen, as chronicled in THIS ARTICLE by Kevin in the same year.
