You mentioned some real stellar ones there. Tudor Castle and SJW's were right up there. I, too, like Beacon Extra. All such McClelland blends I consumed as though they were candy.
Yeah. There was another bulk 5100, a red Virginia ribbon cut that I wish that I had bought tons of. McClelland's closing went from being just a rumor to a reality, overnight. There was no time to react.
Yup. I much enjoyed that one, too. I had read that the growing scarcity of the really good red Virginia leaf they had depended on was one of the main reasons they chose to shutter.
40th Anniversary was very good. But my most favorite of all was Aurora. Blissful. If I had known that they would so quickly close shop I would have bought 500 tins! What was your favorite McClelland blend?
