McClelland Christmas Cheer

Hey guys, my b&m has two tins of this. I think it's from 2013. Is this worth picking up?

Do you like va's, it's usually a good offering that ages well

 

[javajunkie]

it will age for YEARS. what kind of price? and are you comfortable with that price?

 

[DanLAXX1]

To be honest I haven't smoked long enough to know what I like and don't like yet. As far as price, thanks to NY taxes it's $24.99. I'm fine paying that if it's worth it.

Cheaper at P & C

That's the 2014 release. The one the b&m had was 2013. Is there a big difference? Are they unique every year?

Changes a bit each year. P&C just had it as of last week- the 2013. Might call and ask if they have any more. I picked up 2 2013 tins from them and they already had the 2014 in stock.

2013 was a great blend IMHO

CC is a single origin VA that varies from year to year based on where it is harvested.

I think it is delicious. If you find straight VAs monotonous, you may want to skip it. I know a guy who gets through 50g before he plays mad scientist with it. (Usually adding perique).
