Description
Sadly, McClelland is no longer in business as they closed in 2018, but there are some rare tins still in circulation. This tin is a true unicorn! The tin label description is: Town Topic: so mild and flavourful, it's the talk of the town. Delightfully fragrant in the room, soft on the palate, this smooth blend has long-lasting good taste. Delicately Maple flavoured in a time-honoured tradition for a smoke that's the talk of the town!
The base of the tin has the code 830405, indicating this tin dates from 2005. Note: this tin is not plain packaged; it predates the new regulations for pipe tobacco that came into effect in 2020. This is the original formulation made by McClelland.
About Private Stock Pipe Tobacco
From time to time, Victory Pipes is offered the chance to sell unique pipe tobacco tins. Some of the pipe tobaccos on offer are no longer in production, making them highly sought-after. Inventory is extremely limited and many tins we obtain are singles. If there is a blend you’ve been seeking we recommend you act quickly as it is doubtful we will see the blend in inventory again.
Victory Pipes cannot guarantee the condition of the contents of any of these older tins. Seals on pipe tobacco tins may wear out over time or come undone, causing the contents to dry out. Adding moisture to the tobacco will re-hydrate the contents; this can be achieved using a humidifier with distilled water, or even a dampened paper towel placed over a bowl of the tobacco. There are no refunds for consigned tins.
