This review is based on a smaller sample than I would usually smoke before a review so take that into consideration. This was a 1 oz. gift and it arrived drier than I usually find McClellend tobacco's. That may have been why the typical vinegar smell(not an issue for me) found in McClellend blends was much lighter than usual. This is a very good medium English blend that would make a great afternoon or all day smoke. English Woods has a slight nutty flavor and a slight underlying sweetness. It is less sweet than Old Dog or Legends. The flavors are somewhat complex and well balenced Oriental but with no particular tobacco taking a very dominate role. It packs well and leaves a nice white ash. I would smoke this blend on occasion, but not as a regular part of my rotation. Those that enjoy McClellend English blends should make a point to add a few tins to their cellar and I am surprised that it hasn't been reviewed more often. Recommended.
