McClelland Virginia Blends Opinions Please

durham270 · Mar 8, 2014

I'd enjoy hearing your opinions on the differences and similarities between McClelland Craftsbury Virginia Woods and McClelland BULK 5100 Red Cake if they can be compared. There is not a big difference price wise per ounce.
Since I've yet to try either this might give me something to base a future purchase on. Both being a pure straight Virginia blend, which do you prefer?

5100 is straight VA cake. Virginia Woods is a blend of VA's with a subtle topping. Both are great. As to which I prefer - too close to call!

Thanks drrock! The reason I asked is because I had received a Birthday email giving me a 10% discount and I placed an order for a few tins including Virginia Woods since it is the only blend in the Craftsbury series I've yet to try.

I don't know the other blend, but 5100 is a great smoke by itself and has infinite possibilities for mixing with

other tobaccos and blends, so you can't go wrong with that.

I just got some Virginia Woods in myself, I'm looking forward to trying it as it sounds promising.

Ive tried 3 McClellands blends so far, have another two crack open and try. None have been near disappointing yet. These will be added to my wishlist.

McClelland Bulk 2000- Fragrant Matured Cake is to die for. I love it!
