Just opened an 04/06 McClelland 5100 Red Cake bulk. It is a flavorful, moderately sweet, cool, dry, medium bodied va. Would be a great all day no nonsense smoke as it does not require a focused effort and is very tollerant if over smoked. Available in bulk at very good prices at www.smokingpipes.com. 2oz 4oz 8oz 16oz and 5 lb quantities. McC ketchup is present in tin aroma but only minimally and does not present itself in taste or smoke aroma. The ketchup thing is usually a big deterrent for me so when I say "minimal", it is just that. Burns somewhat quickly, but, not hot. Combustion is very consistent and thorough. Few relights. Nice dry ash remains. No wet heel. No gunk. Pipe is left fresh and sweet. A few bowls in a tart pipe, english/balkan/va/other, would be "remedial." Almost a burley like fullness and base line sweetness to it. Nice full smokiness (volume wise). Would be a great base to add burley or perique to, maybe even a little c-lat.
Very worthwhile!
