Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

Edgeworth Sliced

McClelland 2015 & Pebblecut
Dunhill Dark Flake

When I think of blends that are no longer those are the blends I long for most. ️

Pebblecut was a great one. There are other Vaper-Orientals on the market, but none of them with McClelland Virginias.

none of them with McClelland Virginias.

I've heard that's why Mike closed the doors. His source dried up and he refused to compromise.

Mike reported the same thing to me at the St Louis pipe show. Sad but true.

There are two (that are still produced, but not really) : Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture and Bell's Three Nuns from the early 1970s. To me there is nothing being blending today that even comes .

Unfortunately, only in name.

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

to share that with people is banned by the Geneva convention as a form of severe psychological torture. Just thought I'd say it's one of the best I've smoked.

Brebbia Allegro is one I miss. One of my favorite aromatics and while others get kind of close, they just lack that particular perfection that one was to my palate.

McClelland Arcadia. I have a tin I bought with a lot of pipes which is smoked sparingly.

 

[rmpeeps]

Three I’m short on, and may never see again:

McClelland #25
McClelland #2025
Mark Ryan’s Periqued Katarini

Stonehenge Flake. The best blend my palate has ever tasted. RIP. Louisiana Flake is not the same blend to my plebeian taster.

Same here. Have about 5 tins im nursing, only smoking one bowl a week.

 

[TX_Piper]

There's a few Mac Baren blends I'll miss.

HH Burley
HH Bold Kentucky
Golden Extra

I'm alright though. Now if something happens to C&D, that'll be rough.

Classic blend. Special occasion only for me.

Noticing how many people (myself included) are mentioning McClelland blends.

It's funny how I remember the joking complaints of the "Ketchup aroma" back in the day, when McClelland literally was everywhere.

Nowadays though, it seems that most folks would work their Heinz off to score even a few tins.

I do consider myself fortunate in that I squirreled away several McClelland items in both tins and bulk when I went on my daily smoking hiatus 10 years ago. The Ketchup note is still there in the VA heavy blends, but much more subdued in the bulk stuff.

For me it's definitely Sutliff's Strawberry Delight. I was on a non-aromatic kick at the time when Sutliff closed up shop so I never picked any up before it was all gone, but now that it is gone and there's no good strawberry flavored aromatic left on the market (that I know of, at least) I dearly miss it. In retrospect Strawberry Delight was one of those, "I should have bought 5 pounds of it" blends.
