MERCHANDISE AND NEWS FROM THE PIPE WORLD

McClelland Offers New Blakeney Blends

McClelland Tobacco Company has introduced two new pipe tobaccos - the first in a series of "toasted" tobaccos under the Blakeney's Best brand. While toasting has been used for years on Burleys, the new blends use a new and exclusive process developed for Virginia tobaccos, one which keeps the natural oils and sugars intact and maintains flavor.

The two new Blakeney's Best products are Tawny Flake, a flue-cured Virginia flake blend that displays sweetness and a tangy character, mellowed out by the exclusive toasting process; and Acadian Ribbon, which features a guillotine-cut blend of Virginia and Perique that is rich and tangy on the tongue, and deepens in character as it is smoked.

Millennium 2000 Pipe Tobacco Humidor

Most tobacco humidors do not allow for the pipe smoker to keep a protective eye on his tobacco.

With the Millennium 2000, the smoker is able to continuously monitor his tobacco, making optimum enjoyment and satisfaction possible. Millennium 2000 is the only tobacco humidor to feature a hygrometer under the humidor's walnut cover, allowing for maximum control and enjoyment.

The jar measures about 6 inches and has a 1/4 pound tobacco capacity within a suspended, handmade glass chamber. Users can add water, whisky, rum, or vanilla to the main chamber to keep tobacco fresh and aromatic.
