Just bought my first tin along with Peterson University Flake. Gotta say (IMOP), the McClelland is MUCH better.
I like the topping. It's a nice sweet plum that mixes with the great Virginia burley base and is pretty sweet, but balanced. It's a sweet tooth thing, kinda like FVF you know? Has always delivered a consistently good smoke. I have a tin from the late 90s I'm about to open, probably when I get back from Colorado. I'm honestly not sure why I like it, I'll smoke a bowl and report back because the description from my memory sounds gross.DrumsAndBeer":8msd9hg1 said:I haven't tried either. In the McClelland Matured series, 24 is really nice. I had a tin of UF but packaged it in a bomb a few months ago.
Jeb, what specifically do you like about UF?
There are two Peterson blends I do like. Sweet Kilarney and Sunset Breeze. Still experimenting with tobaccos here. I spend more time making pipes than smoking them. Go figure... Of the couple McClellands I do have, they are the better. Davidoff Red is another one of my fav's. Guess I like the sweeter ones. Having only been smoking a pipe for a year or so now, I have a TON to learn about the different blends. There's so many to choose from it gets overwhelming trying to figure out what to try. I pretty much flip a coin and hope for the best. That #22 is the bomb though.ajn27511":swj109d3 said:If you are deciding between tobaccos and one choice is McClelland, always choose the McClelland. You won't be disappointed. JMHO
