I really enjoyed this one, the tin was empty before I knew it :-(
From the tin;
The sweet, fragrant Honeydew was all gone by the time Susan Cushing

offered the container to Sherlock Holmes, but he was undoubtedly familiar

with this fine Irish Flake's gratifying flavor, pleasing aroma and gentleness

on the palate.

As with all MC blends, slow sip'in and make sure you give

good extended airtimes to the flake and there is only

bliss, otherwise they "will" bite you pretty bad (learned this

the hard way when just starting out and not paying attention

to the details :)

I keep looking at that when i buy tobacco, but I don't think it has any Honeydew (sweetness) in it correct? I love the Sweet Vanilla Honeydew from Dan Tobacco, would this compare to it??

It does have some subtle sweetness to it, but I haven't had the Sweet Vanilla Honeydew from Dan as of yet to compare it.

MC's Honeydew has a very "light" casing and is not a sweet Aromatic

Definitely on my list to try. I have a gifted tin of 221b Arcadia and it's my go-to English. In fact, most of my go-to smokes are McClelland. I guess I just like what they do.

If Susan Cushing, thesmokindragon, & Sherlock Holmes like it, then it must be good!

I have been wanting to smoke that for sometime out of my Sav Miele pipe!

I really like McClelland's 221B Honeydew too. It's sweet in that subtle Virginia tobacco manner. Meant to be smoked slowly like any fine VA. It's not sweet like Dan Tobacco's Sweet Vanilla Honeydew, another favorite but a very sweet aromatic that's pretty heavily cased.

If you like McClelland's VA's it's definitely worth a try.
