McClelland 24 & 2015

I will agree 100%! Va 27 was my morning smoke and VA 24 was my evening. In between enjoyed Blackwoods flake or one of the Royal Cajuns. During colder months there was Samovar, Grand Orientals and Black Shag. Such a loss when they closed.

Blackwoods flake was another great one. I really enjoyed that one from time to time.

Almost forgot one of my very dear favorites! I've got six tins left...it's criminally delicious.

Just smoked this yesterday! I have like 2 bowls left. It IS good. Drew estates made some awesome tobacco.

Virginias from McClelland. There was nothing else like them when they were in production. And there probably won't be anything like them ever again.

Matured VA No. 22 was and their Blakeney's Tawny Flake were two of my favorites. And Christmas Cheer.

Tudor Castle, a VA, Perique, Oriental blend, was also out of this world.

Blakeney's Tawny Flake was flat-out awesome. I have one remaining tin from around 2010, with maybe 3 bowls left in it. I know I'm gonna smoke 'em eventually, but every time I reach for it, I pull back, and tell myself "let it sit just a little longer."

On a positive note, I was reorganizing some of my cellared tobacco, and I came across an unopened tin of McClelland Bombay Court that I forgot that I had!

Sometimes, Fate lets a brief smile slip.

Isn't Peterson Flake more-or-less the same thing?

Isn't Peterson Flake more-or-less the same thing?

I believe that’s right. It’s Dunhill Dark Flake that didn’t make the transition to Peterson.

Plumcake and SPC Plum Pudding SR...I thought I had enough.

...I don't.

...I don't.

I sure know how that goes...

I don't know if it has been mentioned earlier, but I miss Edward G. Robinson. I liked to mix it with Half & Half for a great blend that I enjoyed.

Mine is McClellands Deep Hollow. The aroma and the smoke is something I have yet to find a close replacement. I’ve found replacements for most but that Deep Hollow is still so unique.

Less, plus dropping the moniker Light. In addition, this tin was a Murray's production.

I suppose that for young farts the question might be which discontinued cellphone do you miss.

McCranie’s Red Ribbon. Blended by McClelland.

I visit the shop in Charlotte a few times a year and have purchased all 6 or so of their Park Lane series to cellar. So far Payload and Whitewater have the most potential to age well. But, that Red Ribbon….

What do you think of that Stirling Bridge, I think it’s pretty good. I see they’ve got it back now but haven’t tried the new new.
