Oh well, I must admit, when I first lit my pipe with this "Pal o' Mine" I was immediately brought back 20 years prior to my days of Captain Black.
Yes, this smells like CB, tastes lke CB and even looks like Captain Black... what is going on here.I know, how dare I compare a McClelland to the drugstore variants. I feel I just had to, since I could not stop feeling I had smoked this (and not liked it) so very long ago.
Perhaps, it is because a small tin had cost me 25$ Canadian (24US) that I felt I was missing something here. There was no richness, no flavor that would envelop my senses, and even the blandness seemed a trifle "bland"!
My wife, the "note" expert, seemed disinterested and I felt I had smelled this somewhere before. It was a very unexciting and uneventful (not to mention uninspiring) tin that bade me no pleasure. I am still smoking it, 4 mos after my purchase (very rare for me), and am looking forward to being able to store my paperclips in it.
I do love a good aromatic, really I do. It's just that this tobacco, at least to me., is just not very good. Maybe I felt let down by the inflated prose that led me to think this was something to be cherished. I however admonish all aromatic connoisseurs to heed my advice and let this Pal o' Mine go astray into the night and consider your good fortune on not having wasted your time and hard earned greenbacks on such an uninspiring tobacco.
