Nording Pointer
(2.75)
A blend of the best Virginia and burley tobaccos subtly flavored and aged under pressure in the Danish tradition. To make a point, it's mellow and satisfying.

This blend reminds me of the Green Amphora (Rich Aroma) that I smoked for years before Sara Lee sold out their interest and restricted the import into the US. It is my idea of a true Danish Cavendish that has been pressed, aged and then partially rubbed out. Mostly brown with some lighter flakes. Although the compostion of Burley and VAs and the smoking characteristics are ~ to the old Amphoras (some blends now sold in the US as Skandinavik), the tin aroma and taste are different and also remind me of popcorn. A mild smoke with only a slight casing where the quality tobacco taste can also be appreciated. Not even a hint of a bite and positive aroma reviews from others. Uniform burn in all sized bowls but slightly wet for me @ the bowl bottom. Although quite different from other McClelland blends, they have done a great job in creating this Danish blend and have a winner here.

I recently got back into smoking pipe tobacco again, I only smoked cigars for about a year, but I'm back now and this was the first thing I picked up to get me back into it. I sure picked a nice tobacco. I used to only smoke aromatics but I think all the cigars made me not like the cased/chemical taste in them now, so I'm sticking to Virginias this time around.
This is a mild smoke, I've had about 4-6 bowls of it so far and I can say I'll be picking up another tin. The flavor really starts to come out around mid-bowl. I puff a lot, so it does burn warmer, but that's my fault, I'm still learning to slow down. but if you're looking to get into the mild tobacco or looking to transition over from aromatics, I say give this tin a try, You'll enjoy it.

As a new pipe smoker, that had only smoked aromatics, this was my first introduction to a Virgina and Burley blend. I picked this up to break in my new Nording Hunter Moose pipe.
I am very pleased with this tobacco. It has a very mild, sweetish smell and taste. It burned well all the way down to the heel.
It might be too light for some more experienced pipe smokers, but I think it was a great first step. Now my aromatics seem overly flavored and too "goopy".
My wife enjoys the room note, it is mild as well. She told me it smells as a pipe should smell.
This tobacco was highly priced at my local tobacconist ($15/50g), but it can be found online for half the price.
This is definitely my favorite tobacco at the moment!

I tried this tobacco more out of curiosity and JBR was out of stock of Nording Hunter's Retriever.
I immediately fell in love with Pointer as this is one of those tobaccos that rides the fine line of being an aromatic but leans more towards a Virginia Blend.
Very mild and very satisfying to me and I guess that is what really matters. No tongue bite, not an overwhelming aroma and the taste is very mild.
This tobacco has earned a place on the shelf of one of my favorites, and would recommend it to anyone who is starting out in becoming pipe smoker.

I had to be persuaded to try this blend. After all, Erik Nording does pipes ... what does he know about tobacco? I was corrected when someone pointed out to me that McClelland blends this for Nording. OK. Let's pop the tin. Caramel popcorn. I swear the tin smells just like caramel popcorn. In my mind, this proves that I'm going to hate it because I don't like overly sweet, goopy tobaccos. It is finely cut ribbon, chocolate in color with an occaisonal lighter flake here and there. The tobacco appears a bit moist, but not overly so for a tin blend. It packs well, and I pack it loosely. The room aroma for this tobacco is delicious. Kind of a "cookies in the oven" character. The first few puffs prove rewarding. I CAN taste the burley and the casing provides a gentle hint of flavor. I'm halfway through before I realize how mild this blend has been on the tongue. Definitely no bite. Just mild, lightly cased, tobacco flavor and copious clouds of sweet smelling smoke. This is good stuff. The final third of the bowl can be a little wet. I suggest drying this blend out a little before packing. This is a good crowd-pleaser blend that will produce a rewarding and mild smoke.
