Who remembers the Bufflehead tobaccos?

Smoking some Canvasback Decoy right now. I know that you can get close with some Mcclelland current productions, but man, every single blend I have of theirs is sublime. One of those all day smokes, and I am still sad theyre gone.

Only half are gone.
Four of the blends were simple re-labelings of McClelland standard offerings, and are still available.
Which were which, I don't remember, though.

It looks like they canned up other blends as well.

Yup, looking at my last can of Bufflehead Decoy from 2005 as we speak.

Label lists Shawnee Mission, Kansas as the address.
I've been putting off opening it for a couple years now.

I remember them mostly from the CPCC show and the few NASPC and CORPS shows I attended. I believe they always were in the back right corner of the Mega Center next to McCraine's. They had their table piled high with the canned and tinned blends. I wish I could find a picture, between MaCraine's and Bufflehead it was a sight to see. I would like to collect the 2oz Decoy Series if anyone has any they would like to part with. 8O

I remember paying more to get a duck on the label instead of a whale. Other than that, not so much.

I have a sealed tin of the Common Teal someone gifted me but I've never smoked any of their blends.

I always thought that was a great service. Does any other shop offer that these days?

Mars Cigar would blend anything you asked, but never offered a tinning service.
