McClelland No. 610 Caramel

(2.60)
A medium mixture of lemon ribbon, broken Burley-Virginia Cavendish and Special Black. A slow burning, satisfying smoke that will appeal especially to those who enjoy the caramel flavor and aroma of a rich cavendish mixture.

McClelland- No. 610 Caramel.

As you can see from the picture fine ribbons account for most of the blend but 610 includes more than a few coarser pieces. I've had this about five months and in that time it's achieved decent hydration in the loose pouch.

The smoke: a simple, sweet, mainly Virginia/Burley Cavendish one. Sticky, heavy, black Cavendish gives hardly any flavour in comparison. As I suspected from the unlit aroma the caramel's easy to identify. The burn's a little lower than medium in temperature and I get zero tongue bite.

Nicotine: mild. Room-note: nice.

No. 610? A pleasant aromatic without much Black Cavendish gloop. Three stars:

Recommended.

On it's own, this tobacco isn't one that will make you want more. It's really not worth the price...

BUT: Add 1 part 610, 1 part Stokkebye Natural and 3 parts 1Q and you have a delicious smoke that can easily become your mainstay.

Recommended in the blend described, but not so much on it's own.

The blend comes out to only $19 a pound at present prices, so that's right at $2.11 per 50 grams.... not bad... I call that synergy!

This mild blend starts subtle, but progresses throughout the bowl with a definite caramel note. Candy without the calories!Excellent room presense; a favorite with the ladies. Reasonably cool for an aromatic.

I love McClelland blends, and caramel sounds pretty good. Unfortunately, this has virtually no taste, either tobacco or caramel. The tin and room aromas are divine, and it smokes cool, but that isn't enough for me. I added some of this to a less socially-acceptable tobacco, and got some decent responses, but it doesn't work for me on its own.
