I just finished a tin of this I had lost sometime in the 90's. It was just like I remember...dull as steam, with taste similar to dried out watered down standard mixture mild. Much like their kin in the regular McClelland line, if it was not one that they ripped off from Barry Levin, it has the depth of Paris Hilton and probably a similar flavor. I have always been sad when I smoked this (or Old Dog, or any of the McClelland Green tin line) that these tobaccos could not have found their way to good homes where they could be turned into great blends by Rattray's Cotton's Pease's or Astley's. So much precious Turkish wasted! Oh the humanity!
