[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 436626, member: 2403"] I have smoked a fair number of McClelland latakia blends & the best way I can describe them is that they are almost all sweeter than average. A lot of this has to do with the unique character of McClelland's Virginia leaf which I have always found to be sweet, not overtly sweet, but just an overriding warm tone indicative of the character of their well fermented and aged VA leaf. All of the Orientals they use are top notch, full of character and very fragrant (some more than others) Their Drama and Yenidje are standouts. The Cypriot latakia that they use is also a bit different. I find to be somewhat muted in flavor, rather than spicy and pungent, especially when compared to the latakia blends in the GLP catalog and the like. In other words, expect a well-matured flavor, even from mixtures with a fairly recent tin date. [/QUOTE]
