Very good tobacco blend for the lovers of non-aromatic tobbacos. 14 different tobaccos with a little aromatic undertones, specifically sensible tastes of tobaccos. Cut: tipically dutch. Easy to fill. One of my favourites.

I bought a few pouches of this while in Ireland a couple of years ago and I just don't think it is as bad as some reviewers say. It does have a tendency to bit, but the flavor is not bad.

I do like the moisture level and the way it packs. It does make a good blender. I have used perique and latakia at times in different blends with good results.

They seem to peddle a lot of this in Europe.

Very nice aroma. Somehow reminiscent of Sail green, put a bit sweeter.

Very hard to find now, in Canada, and it comes in a 25 gr pouch - very handy and convenient, doesn't take much room in your pocket. It shows a Scottish tartan on the pouch.

A very long, very thin cut bakkie, about 7-8 " in length.

Fills easy and, because of the thinness of the weed, doesn't give a particular satisfaction while you're smoking it. But it's easy to smoke.

An ideal bakkie for a beginner or someone who likes a mild, lightly cased tobacco.

As dry as a desert and as pungent as a harem.

For the life of me I've never been able to figure out, how the manufactures have been able to ensure that every pouch they produced since the late 90's is bone dry and unsmokable. Sadly you have to go through a routine as arduous as opening an ancient port, with none of the reward, to smoke this weed.

It burns, it tastes of rough chemicals and it is always bone dry in the pouch. This was a tolerable tobacco for beginners less then ten years ago. Now, it is truly awful.

My godfather used to smoke this almost 20 years ago and it used to smell great! Now, having trying it myself I can tell you one thing: Do buy one, do smoke it once, go and buy anything else and never return to Clan again.. Cheap smoke, cheap tobaccos.. There are much much better stuff out there waiting for your palate to discover..

This tobacco was my first pipe smoke. It's readily available in the UK and 25 years ago I knew a bloke who used to smoke it and thought it smelled good. I bought it before I discovered this website - good job as it doesn't fare very well on here!

Smells great in the pouch - very spicy. Packs well and easily. Taste wise it's OK, not as nice as in the pouch but it grows on you in my opinion. Great room note. It's pretty easy to smoke but will bite if you puff hard. It's no way near as bad as others have made out in my book. I've finished the pouch I bought and will definitely get some more when I start to run down my other brands.

I broke in my first two pipes on this stuff and they taste great to me!

Recommended, but an acquired taste.

I do not know what to do with this tobacco. Taste-wise, and Aroma-wise this is different from the majority of other tobaccos. In terms of room note, I tend to prefer it in situations where I want to avoid any discussions about smoking. Somehow, it finds a way to be discrete... The problem is that, as others also say, you have to consume it while it is still fresh and moist. So you cannot really just be carrying a pouch with you. Once you open it, you have to use it up. In terms of smoking, it lights up quite well and smokes evenly. But, unless you puff really slow, it will burn quite hot. Still, when I have to pick something from the limited selection of the nearby news stand, I will probably go for it. I prefer it to Skandinavik Aromatic.

Clan is sweet smelling rocket fuel. The second star is because of nostalgia for the years that will not return.
