This is simply outstanding! My tin contained some very well aged leaf, and I was really in heaven the moment I popped the tin and saw the deep, dark Virginia leaf that smelled of over ripe figs... A sure indication that I'll like it.

Indeed, this was tinned by McClelland's, but I detected not even a hint of vinegar or ketchup in the smell. Tudor burned cool, dry and deeply strong. This should have been a regular staple in the McClelland's Virginia line up, (IMO, of course.)

Wow. Sixteen years of age does wonders to Virginia's. The back of the tin states " A classic blend of light-bodied matured Eastern belt Orange Virginia's and rich Black Stoved Virginia's in ribbon form. Age has turned the ribbons dark and delicious.This is one of the sweetest blends I have ever had. Loads of flavor and aroma such as sweet citrus and yet an undercurrant of wood and bbq sauce.Very similar to mcCranies red flake from the 83 crop yet the addition of the black stoved adds its unique taste. I wish my cellar was full of this rather than the McCranies! Few blends achieve this level of complexity with this level of strength. I am able to take 4 or 5 puffs before I have to put the pipe down.Strength in spades, yet utterly satisfying. I wish there was more of this.perfect sipping tobacco on a hot day.These PCCA ribbon blends from the mid-nineties have been stupendous,nay,utterly stupendous. This stuff is better than all the others.Ten star stuff here.
