I swear this stuff smells like raisins in the tin . Still , it smokes well if allowed to dry out a bit before lighting . I had a little wetness until I figured that one out . Recommended . A unique smoke .

The tin aroma is classic McClelland, that is to say, spicy ketchup, which to me is wonderful. The tobacco lights easily and the flavor kicks in around a third of the way down the bowl. At that point it gets this mellow and mild sweetness that lasts the rest of the trip. Not a hint of bite anywhere in this baby. An all-dayer if ther ever was one!
