Best Syrian Offering From McClelland

[perdurabo]

I've tried Wilderness. It's good, but looking to try some others from McClelland. What's your suggestions?

Three Oaks Syrian was the first I tried. Really, I like them all.

There's no such thing as a "best" when it comes to tobacco, because it's what is the best fit for the individual. Try them and find out for yourself.

Thanks Judd, I Would've done that anyway, but seeing as how this is a forum, I felt like drumming up a conversation about McClelland Syrian blends. Thanks for your input, though, it's greatly appreciated and I'm sure it will add color and flavor to the thread.

I'm a big fan of Samovar but I find all of them very enjoyable. For me, Samovar has the best incense-like notes out of the group. Not to detract from the OP but I'd love to hear suggestions for blends with strong hints of incense. That exotic undertone hiding in the smokiness is ambrosia to me. I do want to try the regular 3 oaks to compare the 2 latakias as well.

I'm not telling! LOL
In all seriousness, the best Syrian blends McClelland offers in my opinion are 3 Oaks Syrian and Samovar.

Another big winner in my books is MacBaren HH Vintage Syrian.

Another vote for 3 Oaks Syrian..... :puffpipe:

I'm no expert on lat blends, but of the McClelland blends with Syrian that I've tried, I especially enjoy Yenidje Highlander.

McClelland's Ashton Revival Celebrated Sovereign is very good and better than their Syrian Super Balkan or Syrian Full Balkan blends to me. It ties with Samovar in depth of flavor but is more complex overall.
