Crazy how fast it sold out. SmokingPipes had a limit of 25 cans on the cellar yesterday. They had the Holliday Spirit in stock last week and now it is all gone.
Panic buying at its finest. I give it a few weeks before the scalpers turn up on ebay selling it for 20 an ounce and counterfeits crop up. I have about 2 ounces each of all 4 frogs. I moved them over to the out of production stash and reserved them for special occasions. The only one I've tried so far was the town and if the others are as good in their respective categories, I'm going to be hunting them too
Scratch that few weeks. A quick Google search shows a 50g tin of frog morton went for 45 dollars. I don't know if that's the going rate but I know I won't be chasing any more at those prices

I guess one of the benefits of being a newb is that there are still LOTS AND LOTS of other blends I haven't tried and so don't really know what I'm missing...

Tis better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Isn't that how it goes? I feel the same @Echambers. I just got back into my pipes heavy again and everything is disappearing faster than I can get it stocked up. I suppose it's a blessing in disguise. If I've never had it, I can't miss it and if I don't miss it I won't pay out the nose from nostalgia/addiction
I missed the McClelland Virginia heyday, but Damn the Cellar is an outstanding English blend. Its a shame because it is scalpers buying up the product and now that it is out of stock will gouge the prices. I will look to stockpile some more, but I will not buy from them

Exactly!

Well keep your eyes open please. Im not greedy I just want one FM cellar for myself so I can try it. It has already started popping up and being resold for double or triple the msrp. I just refuse to buy like that.
Wow! I just checked yesterday! I thought I would get a couple tins of orientals, since they're so good. All gone!

Going to my B&M Sunday, Jake. Will be sure to inquire for you.

How long before new members with names like cigartwentysevenmillionBR549 start popping up on here offering unsealed tins of Frog Morton for only $5.00/ gram?

Found another tin of Cellar so I'm good. I also found some other stuff. Some dated to 2010. The aromatics are for some pipe work I'm doing for a guy. Then when I went to add to my cellar I discovered a tin of Christmas Cheer I don't even remember ever buying.
Unfortunately not only does my B&M not have it, but they have also never heard of it LOL. Too bad... I was thinking about picking up one for myself.

Not sure if we had a trading thread so thought I'd post here. Do a search for trade and you will see it's insane. Anyways I found my Frog Morton Cellar and stocked up. Now I'm trying to find one tin of Across the Pond. I know it's a long shot but I've seen guys finding them at their locals. My area is cleaned out of all McClelland. I don't know of any small Ma and Pa shops where you can get lucky. If anyone has either size tin I do have a ton of McClelland trade bait.
Alright guys. I'm searching for some McClelland Deep Hollow. I have lots to trade. Lots and lots of other McClelland if anyone is wanting to trade I may be interested in some others like Penmans Choice and Master Penman plus others. I have some regular frog and some extra cellar as well as about 40 other blends in my trade pile.
Can you all check your locals next time you stop in for Ben Wade/Preben Holm style pipe stems. Many shops don't carry replacement stems anymore but many still have new old stock. Example below
@jsnake try Vermont Freehand. I bought two Ben Wade style stems from them a couple years ago when he was still on eBay. Their website has a great selection

I come across them here and there. Vermont freehand has the style as well and the prices are great on replacement stems. I just need to get the stem turning tool.
