McClelland Tobacco Company

The finest Virginia Tobacco ever cooked up is gone, gone, gone. Brian Levine on his Pipes Magazine Radio Show podcast tonight confirmed the demise of McClelland Tobacco Company via a letter he received from Mary and Mike McNeil, the owners of the company.

I read on another forum that the letter was misconstrued and that they are not going out of business, just canceling a bunch of blends due to shortage of quality tobacco.

Just read on another forum where someone supposedly actually spoke to the owners. They said that they are done and whatever is left out there is it.

That is how I understood it. Not selling. Just closing.
