If you've smoked really cheap cigars of the kind that come in a little tin and constantly leave little crumbs of baccy on your tongue; then you already know the taste of Saint Claude. Not too bad is the best that can be said.
My packet was very dry (as many other reviewers have said) so I don't think it was old, it's just that's how it comes.

I use it to cut aromatics with and get a dryer mixture as an everyday smoke. Other than that I don't really use that stuff by itself, it is strong and harsh with a potent roasted smell. This is not for sissies. Some of the reviews evoke some kind of honey casing...well, I can't find any of that, even when I open a fresh pouch, only what a gypsy caravan would probably smell like... Fairly available all over France.

Picked some of this up while traveling in France. This is a good basic tobacco. Nothing too interesting, but the Kentucky does add a nice smoky flair to this basic, light smoking blend. It's mostly just a light smoke, with the flavor from the Kentucky, and a mild sweetness from the Virginia. I don't really get much of the typical nutty Burley flavor, but maybe a little bit of chocolate.
Kind of bland, good to smoke when you want one that doesn't get in the way.

Apparently this tobacco is now very hard to get...
If you can try it, then do. It is another typical scaferlati tobacco, cased with honey and of a broader cut than Scaferlati Caporal and Caporal export.
Nice smoky, spicy and sweet taste. Burns well without a bite if there is a minimal moisture in it.
I enjoyed it!

The St. Claude I am smoking I have had for quite a while and it is thoroughly dried out. It is a medium brown ribbon, a bit tangly but not too difficult to pack. The smoke is mild with no bite. It has a distinctive nut-like flavor which could be entirely due to the Kentucky burly or it could be a flavor enhancer because it is not a drugstore burly. I have picked up this flavor in a couple of Germain tobaccos. There is plenty of tobacco flavor which I like. The only drawbacks are that it burns far too fast and it is difficult to get. I doubt that I will go to the trouble of searching out a regular source for this tobacco, but if I could get it easily I would keep it on hand. Well recommended
