McClelland Mellow Mack
(2.80)
The mildest and smoothed of pipe tobaccos. This is a mild, smooth, rich pipe tobacco that improves throughout the smoke, owing to the slow release of the flavors inherent in the top quality leaf used in the blend. The aroma tends toward wild honey and, perhaps, pecan.

I only smoke aromatics for a change of pace from time-to-time and this is one of the better ones I have smoked. MM, a nice ribbon cut, packs easily. However, you may find that more relights will be necessary towards the bottom of the bowl because of the moisture ?problem?, a characteristic inherent with many, if not most aromatics. Puff as fast as you want, there is no bite whatsoever in this baccy. To me, the flavor and taste of this tobacco were reminiscent of Butter Rum Lifesavers, most prevalent when ?sipped.? I also find this blend very similar to McCrainie?s Currituck.
I rate this tobacco 8.5 out of 10

Although I normally don't smoke aromatics, this was a pleasant change. Due to the ribbon cut, it burns quickly but not hot and without any bite. I use it @ work with a small bowl pipe for a quick smoke. Tin aroma is sweet but without the strong casings evident in others. Moisture initally is perfect and results in easy, even packing. Smokes wetter than I'd prefer and the last 25% of the bowl was soaked for me. The taste was dominated by the black cavendish and is typical of much cheaper aromatic blends with this component.
