I just called the B&M that I got it from and they said that it was Altadis. I was actually going to bump a thread about tin vs jarred tobacco to see what the differences were. It was already packaged in the ziplock as a weekly special. I asked for some English and that is what they showed me. Smelled good so I grabbed it.

So does this mean that it is not McClelland's? How is Altadis?
I am still trying to figure out this pipe world that I now live in.

I now have some research to do on the Google.

I got a half-pound of each of those three, plus 9 oz of Homborger Veermaster, a tin of Vintage Flake, and a bottle of pipe cleaner to get the free shipping.

How is the Veermaster compared to something like S.G. FVF?

They are both straight Virginias, but there the similarities end.

FVF is dark VA's that have been tightly pressed and heated. I think FVF is pretty tasty, but I usually gravitate towards less processed (and more natural flavored) tobaccos.

HV is my all time favorite tobacco period. It's amazing! Its a broken flake made from lighter VA's. I think it's untopped or cased. If it does have any casing/topping it's very subtle and I haven't noticed it. All I know is I crave it and HV accounts for more than half of all tobacco I smoke (and I smoke cigars too).

Thanks for the detailed response. It will definitely stay on my list!

Not exactly a purchase. I decided I needed another MM Pride, so I took this one out of inventory and loaded it with some Angler's Dream. Walnut shank. I love the Prides, just wish they had bigger chambers. Like all cobs, it smokes fine out of the gate, but they really shine once they get seasoned from smoking.

This is my first new cob in over 3 years.My other 15 or so are still going strong.

Get it OFF your list and in your pipe! :D

Hamborger Veermaster is Grand Illusion by Styx; Full Virginia Flake is more Foriegner's first album. And if you're not from the seventies, that probably won't make much sense. In fact, it probably doesn't make much sense anyway.

LOL!
That is a great analogy... And now I have to go listen to some music!

Clay pipe, just arrived from e-bay. Been wanting to try out clays for a while so I pulled the trigger on a couple. You can see from my deck railing that the stem is approximately six feet long, which makes it the longest pipe in my collection :) Actually the stem is a little over 6" long which still makes it the longest pipe in my collection.

There's a T on the other side of the bowl. Supposedly this is a reproduction of a Thomas Dormer pipe design from the 18th century. Works for me :)

Smokes pretty well - just polished off a bowl of Lane Burley Light.
