McClelland No. 22 Virginia Pipe Tobacco from the 'McClelland Matured Virginia'
line.
The tin description states the following,
A balanced blend of Eastern and Middle belt Virginias aged in cakes to develop their natural sweetness. A zesty tobacco with rich undertones, coarse enough to smoke on windy days outdoors, but easily rubbed-out to suit any occasion.
I popped open a 3.5oz. 2008 tin and right away detected the ketchup and vinegar aroma McClelland is known for. I've been smoking this blend weekly for two months now and enjoy it. It comes in broken flakes and my tin was at the correct moisture level and needed no drying time. I rubbed the flakes out and only occasionally required a relight. The flavor is really something special having a wonderful tart / tang sweetness about it. I don't find it to be very complex but it is full flavored and satisfying. Easily an all day tobacco for Virginia lovers!
Very nice toasty sweetness with mild spiciness in this Savinelli Octavia 138 T1.
