Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Clan Aromatic (Original)
(2.04)
A blend of 14 different tobaccos. Mild, cool and slow burning with unique aromatic qualities.
Notes: Recipe was changed substantially after 1998, probably at the same time that manufacture was turned over to STG (Orlik).
Due to EU regulations, this is renamed and sold in those countries as "Original".

Clan...good ideas? Maybe, the Clan bring the sunshine of bottom of morning shoe light. Clan, think happy? think sad? I think, therefore Clan is.
Clan be with you? Clan smoke you? Then you try CLan, right? I give Clan, good Clan. Good Clan be praised, bad Clan be shunned. Shunned?
Wife Rating: Wife shun Clan? Wife no like Clan dead tree like smoke esquness. Dead tree people, resembles? Yes... you must open your eyes and understand. The magic of Clan. Magic? It is a deep magic?
Clan bring tidings of dead tree people of ashlands. We talking taste. It dances on the tongue like an old man with no eyes and shoe boxes for gloves. That is uncouth, and so is Clan.
May Giebbelhouse smite thine enemies to Giebbels n Bits.
Cheers, Toe Bacco

As Captain Black is in the US so Clan is in Europe I guess, a readily available 'drugstore' brand. My pouch was given to me by the mother-in-law, which should have made me suspicious I suppose. I found it very dry straight from the pack, with a very sweet aroma.
As to the smoke I found it disappointing. I was prepared for a full on 'flavour-attack' as per previous reviews but found it bland and uninspiring to the taste. Like many aromatics Clan seems to have a reputation for creating an amiable room note, but my female 'guinea-pig' found its aroma sickly sweet and not as enjoyable as my usual latakia favourites.
I don't want to put a downer on aromatics as a whole, but I always get the feeling as a pipe smoker you are encouraged to try them for the benefit of the non-smoker. Goodness knows it's a rare aromatic which actually gives you a flavour or taste comparable to the aroma it produces for those around you. Give me an English blend anytime, something with some real taste.
Still, I?ll hang onto my pouch of Clan just in case. But I don't think I'll be going for a repeat prescription of this particular 'medicine'.
