McClelland Pal O' Mine

In opening the tin I found the peach aroma nice-not too heavy. The moisture content was also just right. Loaded the pipe, and began. As I smoked the entire bowl--from top, mid down to the bottom I detected all the way through a nice melding of the fruity, and burleys going on. It did not bite, and as I kepte smoking I had thought my pipe had went out. In fact I was through the entire bowl, and it burned down to a nice white ash. I found it NOT to be clowing, or goopy. In fact it is one of the few aromatics I have tried that is not goopy. If you like aromatics I suggest this for a nice break from from some of the other vanilla, chocolate etc. stuff. One other reviewer had noted they thought perhaps this blend is made in a way that has the casing infused. I can say I agree. For me the peachy taste was always going on along with a nice burly flavor coming through also. Over all I can say I liked it. I would purchase this again if someone asked whether, or not I would.

This is absolutely the best peach blend that exists. The fruity smell in the tin translates directly to the smoke. When smoked in a leisurely fashion, I find that the taste lasts the entire bowl. There is also a fair amount of nicotine in this tobacco, which makes it quite satisfying. Love it!

UPDATE: this is a 4 star aromatic. one of my "permanent rotation"

Original: 4-07

Lights well and stays lit when packed properly. Great room aroma. I can detect the peach cobbler note as the description says - interesting, how do they do that? 🙂

The burley makes this blend a success. If it were pure Cavendish with this heavy a casing, it would be YUCK!! - and I'm a Cavendish fan! But, the burley saves the day.

For aromatic fans a must try!

I may dedicate a pipe to this blend as it has become one of my regular rotation.

I will buy this again in the future, a definite crowd pleaser and it will not bite. Three lovely young ladies at a recent party asked if they could smoke my pipe after enjoying the Pal-o-mine aroma for about 2 hrs. Simply astonishing.

This was one of the very best peach aros money could buy. A lot like peaches and cream by peter stokkebye, minus the "cream" (vanilla). It left a very fragrant room note in the air, and would ghost even a meer for several bowls to follow.

It had a slight caramel note behind the peach, and plenty of cavendish taste.

A solid 4 star aromatic. Like the other premium aromatic series, was nigh near impossible to dry out.

If you like peaches, this is the one for you. It's basically a cavendish blend covered with peach juice (my interpretation). I like McClelland tobaccos, especially the cavendish blends with vanilla and chocolate, and now this one with peaches. Upon opening the tin you'll experience a wonderful peachy aroma. It can burn a little hot, but I think that's unique to me, because I puff like crazy. Probably, great for dessert on ice cream, I speculate.

Very nice Tobacco/Pleasant,Mild,Room note Outstanding!!!Not like most aromatics;Flavoring is well-infused into Mix.GOOD BALANCE... I have a suspicion Mcld's,have steam-pressed this Mix...I find no tongue bite,and doesn't Bowl Me over.....When i had 1/2 left of my 50g tin...I filled the tin to the top with Mcld's Red Virginian...dumped mix in2mix'g-bowl...Filled my Pipe,,WOW,,i think this is going 2b my new"Going-To-Pub-Mix." :+)

I haven't tried this yet, but P&T said: "Well, this is a cherry blend that is respectable...the smell is cherry, but a dark and rich cherry, nothing like hard cnady here, nor maraschino, more like the aroma from a dark-chocolate-covered cherry. This lights easily, burns coolly and with ease, and is exceptional for its genre. If you are searching for the perfect cherry aromatic, give this a try. Highly recommended for seekers of this sort."
