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.

This is, by far, the best aromatic i have smoked. overall it yielded the most satisfying smoke in months.
The tin aroma gives a very thick and strong impression of rum cake (one of my favorites). The tobacco is light and springy, and slightly damp.
I decided to use my new savinelli, and i packed a full bowl. I packed it medium to light. For the first few draws i wasn't impressed with the taste... though it smoked very cool. But the taste developed into a pleasantly mild sweetness. Excellent taste, smooth mellow, cool, and dry are great adjectives for this aromatic. And the room note is great. The end of the bowl became a little wet, but it was manageable. The nutty aftertaste was excellent.
overall an excellent blend.
NOTE: Mellow Mack seems to be at its best when packed lightly. A tight packing strains the sweetness and cause the boiling goop common to aromatics. But these problems are completely circumvented by a light pack, and of course a slow smoke.

This tobacco is primarily ribbon cut, althouugh I find the Black Cavendish is more of a broad cut tobacco. The tobacco is fairly easy to pack, light and smoke. A very light aroma when first opening the 50 gram tin, the freshness is what I come to expect from McClelland and this is no different.
The first puff of this tobacco had me sold as the aroma was more of a nutty aromatic, very similar if not one in the same as their Just Plain Nut in Bulk.
No tongue bite, no harshness, not overwhelming with a sickening sweet aroma, a very cool smoke in which I contribute to the Burley and the Black Cavendish. The tobacco IMO smoked very well from the first match to the last of the ash in the bowl. This is one I would recommend to someone wanting to try an aromatic for thhe first time.
Simply put, I like the tobacco
Smoke it Slow, Enjoy it Longer

Mellow Mack is the best aromatics that I have smoked. I applaud McClelland Tobacco on this product. It is a all day companion for me. Pleasantly mild and tastful. I think that tongue bite is next to impossible with this blend. Short smooth puffs are the best way to savor this blend and enjoy its fragrance, all the to the bottom of the bowl. I think that this blend would please even the most vulgar in a crowd of folks.

I have never liked aromatic pipe tobacco, despite having sampled numerous flavored blends. A short while ago, however, I picked up a tin of McClelland?s Mellow Mack. It is, in my humble opinion, the best aromatic I have ever come across. Unlike most aromatics, Mellow Mack is velvety and so supple I can smoke it almost constantly. The aroma is enticing, yet nothing like the loathsome attar so often associated with aromatics.
