[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 195510, member: 2244"] I've been reading both here and on the New Tobacco Review site about the infamous McC "ketchup" aroma supposedly in their tobaccos. I've been a smoker of McC's blends for almost 25 years now and cannot honestly say I have encountered ANY "ketchup" aroma from any of their tobaccos. I have smelled the aroma of moist Virginia tobacco when I open my tins along with the aroma of the other 'baccy used in the particular blend. The first time I recall smelling it was when my uncle up in Raliegh N.C. opened his red plaid tobacco pouch to fill his pipe when we were at the auction house in Raliegh where his family was selling their crop of Virginia Brightleaf that summer. It did not smell like my fathers tobacco which was an aro and I asked him why his smelled different. He smiled at me and said".. it's 'cause this is good old Carolina straight Virginia tobacco son". When I first opened my first tin of McC's tobacco that same smell hit me and I can smell it all the time. Tobacco YES, ketchup NO :P As far as "straight" Virginias, personally I would highly recommend 3 of McC's : Virginia Woods Matured #25 Matured #27 All very smooth, sweet, and full honest Virginia tobaccos that I'm currently buying more of and smoking :P [/QUOTE]
