Frog Morton's Cellar Tobacco Review

[snoopy311]

I smoked a bowl last night and thought it was wonderful. But it does have a little bit of age on it. Maybe a year or so. Good American English as I would define it.

I put what I had left of it into a jar ( really didn't want to waste a jar on it ). Wondering would it really age like other tobacco's ? The Virginia's look real but the rest of it looks like plastic or something.

Gimme a break. You don't like it, sure. But plastic? :roll: Whatever your tastes, it's indisputable that McClelland sources superior tobaccos. The VAs might improve with age, but latakia and aros don't age well, so I'd just accept this blend is not for you and pass it on to someone who might want to try it. Black Cavendish is processed to look black (hence its name) and latakia is pretty much black, so maybe that's why they don't look "real" to you?

Pardon me lazar...didn't mean to offend anyone. I was thinking the other black was stoved Virginia. I didn't even know there was Black Cavendish in it.The plastic comment was just a little sarcasm I thru in .........Thanks for breaking down and clarifying it for me.

No worries - not offended at all. You're probably right about the stoved VA. BC is not listed in the ingredients on TR, but it's definitely in there.

I haven't tried Cellar, but I have tried On The Town and Across The Pond. The last bowl I smoked of then tin if OTT I tried is what sold me on pipe smoking. I could taste plum as if I was literally eating a plum. It was so delicious and is what I strive for when pipe smoking. The hidden flavours when the pack, humidity and pipe is just right.
I had high hopes for Across The Pond, because I've heard such good things about Syrian Latakia, but I liked OTT more.

Think I'm going to try FMC in a big pot and see if I like any better.......
