[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 403236, member: 3"] The Rattrays Brown Clunee I was gifted several years back was a mix of clearly different tobaccos, brown and black, cut in long flat thin ribbons. When smoked you would get these meandering notes of solid stoved black that would weave in and out of a medium creamy base. The tin note was clean, subdued. Now it's a homogenized plain brown tobacco with a strong tangy perfumed note, a mix of clumps and extruded threads of obviously machined tobacco. The flavor is monotone. It's not at all a bad smoke, quite nice actually, but more like SG Medium Virginia in tin note (definitely not in appearance) and the flavor is like a mix of SG MVF and a semi strong topped Danish virginia. So basically they produced a pretty decent smoke, but it has nothing to do with Brown Clunee other than the label on the tin. At some point shouldn't they just declare a blend dead and not attempt these phony ressurections? [/QUOTE]
