Who Wants To Review My Holy Grail?

[kanaia]

If you can find it anywhere buy it now because it is no longer being made.

I called McClelland today to get some clarification for those of us that wanted more info.
This was definitely a one time "special entry" blend that will not see production.
It cannot be purchased at all and there are no "leftover" tins ... I asked!

 

[freakiefrog]

Now I get to sulk off to my corner and hot box some My Mixture 965 and be happy I guess.

That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of...they spent all that time in R&D to not sell it. :crazy:

 

[cobguy]

It was just a small batch with a quick label job ... probably not a huge amount of time or money invested.
Could have even been just a slight variant of an existing blend as well.

Poor Click:

I have found my Holy Grail tobacco. It took me 11 years and literally 100s of blends. But I found it! So, I am not going to reveal what it is.

He found his blend after 11 years, then gave it away................ 8O

Yeah, but there are the other 499 tins in his closet.

I wish I had 499 tins. I was Hoping the interest would spark them to produce more.

Not a bad idea...I think JimInks was singlehandedly responsible for the continued production of EGR blend, so there is a precidence for this sort of thing if you can get enough momentum.

Well that ruined my day...

Thanks for investigating cobguy, bummer it won't be available.

My pleasure ... there are SO many good blends that would scratch this itch.
If you enjoyed this blend we sampled, start digging into the Balkans and heavier English blends.
H&H: BlackHouse, Magnum O!, Cerberus, Beverwyck, etc...
McClelland: Balkan Blue, Syrian Full Balkan and Super Balkan, Blakeney's Best Lat Flake
GLP: Westminster, Chelsea Morning, Quiet Nights, Gaslight
The list goes on and on and on ...
Enjoy the journey because sometimes the destination is a dead end! ::

I am beginning to think that this is something out of the third Indiana Jones movie!

Les I answered above. I was the chap sitting next to you on the couch in the tent Sunday morning. We discussed our rad Davis pipes.

While I didn't smoke the sample I did smell samcoffeeman sample and and noticed a strong smoky, vinegar tin note that reminded me of BBQ sauce. Surprised there weren't more McClelland guesses.
