" This is a blend of Eastern and Middle Belt lemon, orange, and orange-red Virginias. A sweet, smooth, and zesty smoke." This is as McClelland's describes it but we all know what should be said: " Upon opening the archival polypropelene "zip-lock" container it comes in, one's nasal oraffices are assaulted with the premium organic scent of well aged "catsup" which is the prime flavoring agent McC's uses in ALL their tobacco blends ! It is presented in a well designed semi-full flake form, slightly moist and sensually dark with exhilaratingly light golden streaks which indicate it's exotic heritage. It MUST be rubbed out to exasorbate it's full potential and then loaded in ones Artison pipe in the 25 level method to allow ALL of it's myriad flavors to be succinctly appreciated. After the requisite box of rare "strike anywhere " matches is used to light it one is rewarded with a myriad of flavors and scents ranging from rare Corinthian leather, Guatamalan Mahogany, with a background note of Organic, Saville cumquates interweaving throughout the smoke. It does not byte regardless how vigorously one smokes but can gurgle due to the added organic beet sugars towards the end of it's consumption. Truly a connoisseur's blend/mixture "
The above is what I would submit to Tobacco Reviews but this is what I REALLY THINK about it : " A FINE ALL red/orange broken flake straight Virginia blend/mixture that can be smoked ALL day with the typical McC's fermented Virginia aroma in the baggie, but NO "catsup" ! Rubs out well and with a bit of pre-loading drying out loads and lights easily and provides a smooth, bite free smoke through the whole bowl finishing with a nice dry ash at the end. For a true Va lover, one I could highly recommend as well as one for someone new to Va's. And as is much done here, I'm sure it would age well over time! A Va blend/mixture I will ALWAYS have on hand :twisted: :twisted:
