Opened a Tin of McClelland Smyrna No 1... do they all come with uncut leaves?

Yeh Jitterbug, I hate it when a blend will say that it has Turkish. It's like saying that a blend has oriental. Which one?
The Grand Orientals line is a good set of tobaccos, some better than the others. It bugged me that some seemed to have very little of the named Oriental, and way more potent Virginia flavor. Not that I had a problem with Virginias, but that I was hoping to taste more of the named leaf.

But how does it taste?????

It tastes sweet, and light, and a little spicy. The tin note is almost aromatic to me.

Beautiful presentation.
Has anyone tried smoking the uncut leaves? I'd certainly be tempted...

Because of this thread, I ordered one of all eight of McClelland's Grand Orientals series.

I too added one of each of the grand orientals series in my cart due to this thread! I haven't pulled the trigger yet and placed the order. Glad I waited as I see P&C is running a 10% off all McClelland blends this month.
Cheers.

McClelland did a fine job combining these very delicate leafs.
