McClelland Bulk Pipe Tobacco - I found these guys while searching for pricing that was better or different from the major online players. Today I received an email regarding this sale and just had to get the word out! Here is the tinned sale - Go to payless pipes and call them about this...

In honor of our annual pay cuts today was a half day at the school. I had a 4pm meeting with the mayor for job #4 as the town planning commissioner. We were looking at applications/resumes/work samples/curriculum vitae for a new hearing examiner for the city. Yay legalese! School out at...

Being a lover of McClelland and their Virginias, it was high time I tried this blend. I've been through all of the other in the Matured VA series, my favorite being #24 but I've enjoyed all of the others - 22, 25, 27. (Makes me wonder about numbers 1-21 and 26...) I've had this tin for a...

This one is a bit of a love/hate product. It is truly a difficult tobacco to get to perform, but the payoff is there for those who won't be turned off by a "high maintenance" blend. I'll admit that Dark Star has annoyed and frustrated me in the past... For those that don't know, this is a...

925 (sometimes referred to as “9-2-5″) is an air cured blend of Cavendish, Latakia, and Orientals. In the bag, it smells very much like a VaPer: sweet and earthy, despite the lack of Virginias in the blend. Upon lighting it, however, I swore I was smoking a burley blend, despite the lack...

I must start this post by stating up front that this has been one of my top favorite blends from the first time I smoked it. It isn't new to me, but I am smoking some from 2002 which is the most aged sample I've had by far. That said, this is a very consistent blend and I commend McClelland...

Though I've collected tins of CC going back to 2004, I had yet to smoke any of them as I've put all of my tins away for aging. Thanks to the PIF/MAW thread and Jordan (jfserama), I have a sample of CC 2008 and tried it last night. Its a dark, chunky VA flake as is typical of McClelland, and...

McClelland - Bulk #805 Carolina Deluxe Carolina Deluxe is a bulk aromatic tobacco blended by McClelland. Since this is a bulk tobacco it may be available at your local B&M under a different name. The description on smokingpipes.com says "Based on Orange and Lemon Virginias, with a small amount...

Hey everyone, I had another question for you all. Whenever someone talks about McC's bulk VAs, they always talk about 5100. What about the other offerings? Has anyone tried 2020, or 2015? 5105, 5115....the list goes on. I'd be interested in picking a few up just because. But I was...

For those of you that might have missed it in the e-mail newsletter today, P&C put all their McClelland Tins on sale. I don't buy much of the McC stuff, so I don't really know if it's a great deal or not?? Just FYI... McClelland Tinned Tobacco (Grid List)

Last night I cracked open my first McClelland tin. It's a tin of Grey Havens that I've had packed away for about 6 months. The tin note was vinegar, tomato and a bit sweet. It reminded me of the baked-on ketchup one might find on an old fashioned meatloaf. I dumped the tin onto a sheet of...

My thoughts on McClelland's Holiday Spirit 2010 Edition. I know it may be a little early for a review of a holiday blend, but I figured since McClelland's 2011 holiday blends just went up on smokingpipes.com last week it would be OK. Tin description: This mild, smooth blend of Burley...

Gent's..... I am loving McClelland, Virginia Woods, English Woods and St. James Woods. What are your favorite McClelland blend Thanks Al

I was a little unsure if I wanted to do a review of FM. First, it is a regular smoke for me, it is easy to find, and one of my favorites, but as a result, that also means that it is easy to take for granted (i.e. I'm more likely to run to the computer during or after a smoke for something I...

So, I have been slow to review some of my regular smokes lately and I'll be adding a few of my regulars. This has become one of them. I first bought a tin of Town Topic about 2 months ago and it is one of my more regular aromatic smokes lately. It is a maple flavored blend of burley...

I bought this about 2 months ago. Once again, I left it just in the bag this long sitting on top of the microwave. So either these bags are the absolute best bags ever or this has a lot of PG in it because it was still almost too moist to smoke. Smells good though. I tried to smoke a bowl...

This is the first McClelland I have had that I have felt I could write an objective review on (yes, even after having the Frogs). Maybe it has some age on it, but I don't know. This is also the first McClelland I have had that doesn't smell like someone was eating a hot dog and dripped ketchup...

So, I'm going through some tobacco samples seeing what I haven't tried yet and I run across Dark Star. I apologize but I have absolutely no idea who sent me this. It was tucked away in the bottom of an envelope I had consolidated several things I'd gotten that day. I look at it and realize...

Coming back around to some of Charles' samples finally! Decided to pull out the 3 Oaks Syrian. What a wonderful aroma in the bag. It actually does not smell like normal McKletchup blends! It's a wonderful campfire aroma with nice tangy pungency and leathers. This got me all excited! Fire...

I picked this up a while back but haven't opened it until recently. The tin aroma is, hold on to your hat, ketchup! But it's a little subdued. The tobacco looks ominous. Dark black chunks that look like charcoal. Looks like something that you might run whiskey through in Tennessee. So it...
