Boston 1776
I opened a tin of PCCA Boston 1776 yesterday. I am sad that only 1776 tins were produced in 1993. I knew I was in for something good at the first wave of my lighter. I was greeted with a spice and sweetness that can only be described like what you would find in a ginger cookie, though the flavor was not of ginger - it just filled the palate with the richness you would find there. Through the course of the bowl, different flavors weaved in and out - sometimes buttery, other times there was molasses and some grassiness. The flavors got richer and fuller as the bowl progressed and it burned down to nearly nothing - just some fluffy grey powder and a memory of a smoke bordering on the mystical....

Sounds really interesting. Too bad it's not readily available. Would like to give it a try...

I picked up three tins of 1776 when Hamlin had his fire sale at Chicago a few years ago. Wish I had bought 30. Tried the first one and vowed to not open the other 2 until a special occasion happened:-) Luckily, McC has brought it back out, so I'm waiting on the first 10 of (hopefully) an eventual 30 tins to arrive. IMHO, Brindle Flake is also right up there with 1776. All my lunch money for the rest of the year is already spent as I try to snag these iconic blends before I can no longer afford them.
