All of this is readily available in Britain and I'm more than willing to ship a couple of ounces of each blend over pro-bono.

McClelland's 40th Anniversary is one I miss and wish I had cellared more. I have some in a mason jar that I transferred from the tin and I only smoke one bowl a year on each New Year's Day. It's always my first smoke of each new year. I'm getting low on the 5100 Red Cake and when I get to my last half pint jar I'll do the same with the 5100 as I do with the 40th Anniversary, except the 5100 will be my last smoke of the preceding year (New Year's Eve).
Kingfisher. It’s my bucket list tobacco. Never got to try it but would like to before my days are done.
My beloved Frog Morton's Cellar. Besides the ounce of it and the ounce of Frog on a Log that I have, I am all out. But blends come and go, and that is part of it. I really enjoy the new Plum Pudding Bourbon Barre Age but it hasn't replaced FMC for me.
Troost Slices. Not often talked about, but a legend among old-timers.
Pipestud had a tin earlier this week for $35. If you keep your eyes peeled they surface now and again.
My white whale Tobacco is Tobacco.
Basically impossible to get in Canada.
No joke this is one major consideration in my wanting to buy a home outside the country.
Might end up being China, I hear realestate is cheap there right now.

I have a serious white whale. I want Jesse's Barling unsmoked magnum. I will tie Jesse up and then light that bitch and smoke it bowl after bowl for 6-8 hours. I want to see the horror on jesse's face.
Yeah I am a sick fuck.

Have you tried Chesdin Mixture? KBV may still have a few tins left. Pretty close imho, but some disagree. No whiskey and a touch of vanilla but the component tobaccos seem the same to me.
Another good substitute is Pembroke. Totally different, but much better to my tastes.
Because I live in the US: Germain's Brown Flake. I enjoy smoking it, but not enough to put in a big overseas order yet, if it can even be had that way. I always snatch up tins that come up for sale in the US when I see them.
Frog Morton Cellar. I have never smoked any, but am extremely curious about the hype. Living in Canada, I can't see myself ever getting any, which I'm OK with.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give Chesdin Mixture a try. I have a few tins of Pembroke but I think FMC is easier to get ahold of and it's not even in production.
Gallahers Irish Roll. Myself and another went in together bidding on a big cutter top on eBay, but we chickened out.
Renaissance... I got in to the hobby after the dreaded warehouse fire and never got the chance to try it. I also missed out on the Reserve. By the time I read the email it was already sold out.
