(3.72)
McClelland's 40th Anniversary offering is dedicated to Virginias, and of course those with a love for Virginia leaf as well. The tobacco itself is a red Virginia flake, promising a rich, mellow, sweet smoking experience, and something that will age superbly.
Notes: Superb North Carolina red Virginia worthy of a very special occasion.

I was given a bowl of this by a friend. I have not had the same experience as other people when smoking this. I found it to be not bad, but not really good, either. Everything was pretty mild and unremarkable.

I bought 2 tins of this last August, and was enjoying the "clinking" sound it made when I gently shook the can. It promised a high-sugar smoke. That aside, I broke open a tin last Sunday. The aroma was unlike other MC blends with only very little of the "ketchup" and fairly sweet. It's cut into 1/2 x 2 inch slices that rub out pretty easily. As for the smoke, I have to say here that it was bland, and I didn't get any other taste all the way down the bowl. Surprising. I will say it takes first prize in mildness - no bite or harshness at all. I'll have to work on this blend a while and see what, if anything, develops. Otherwise, this didn't do much for me.
