McClelland - Organically Grown Flake

Getting the itch to pop this tin.

Never seen this- what's the story behind it?

Short lived run in 2002. It is full organic, but the FDA demanded that it not be processed with the same machinery as other tobaccos which were not organic. TOOOOO much trouble so the concept line was dropped.

Good concept, with the organic craze ramping up about that time it would of been easy money. Organics is big time business, I deal with it in my line of work and the margin is insane.

If you pop that tin let us know how it smokes and what it's like!

I'm no organo-nazi but this is enticing because it's not made any more...you should definitely post your thoughts

Starting to scratch the itch. BUT I have been told from a couple guys who have smoked this tobacco before that it does not store well after opening the tin being it is 100% organic. They said the tin should be smoked within the first week of opening. That being said, I can't smoke the tin within a week.

I'm thinking I need to split up the tin among a few smokers. You guys up for a taste? LMK

Even jarred up it doesn't last?! That would seem odd to me.

If you want to share I'm not opposed to trying a bowl or 2. For scientific reasons of course

[Tobias Lutz]

I'm game It's a little tree-huggerish for me, but I'll manage

[LandonColby]

I guess I can muster the strength to fill my pipe again. I'd be honored to try some!

But hey, if you pop that tin and change your mind because it's THAT good..I won't be offended if you decide to keep it haha

I know, it seems strange to me too. But the guys who have had it swear it will start to grow mold in the jar. I can't smoke a tin in a week or two, I just don't smoke a pipe enough. So I never was willing to take the slim chance these guys were right, and never opened the tin.

Today, I'm opening the tin. If I was duped into believing a mountain of misinformation then lucky you.
