McClelland Royal Cajun Ebony
(3.25)
Black, smooth, sweet, smokey and absolutely rich. This blend of Virginias and Kentucky leaf demonstrates the magic that occurs when flue-curing, stoving, fire-curing and perique-style processing meet in a gloriously complex explosion of flavor.

My conclusion is that this almost-politically-correctly-named blend is more of a curiosity than of a smoking delight.
The weird combination of high sweetness and smell of burning rubber is so contradictory it could even be interesting to try. Try this. It's not bad. It's just weird. What if you liked it?
Well, I tried. It was fun to try a bowl. Now I'm thinking what to do with the rest of the tin. I have no slightest intention to smoke this again. And I never throw any tobacco away.
UPD after half a year:
OK, I didn't throw my "Ebony" away. After sitting for 6 months in a non-sealed tin the tobacco has dried up a bit and improved. The unpleasant "burnt rubber" tone has mostly gone while the remarkable sweetness remains. It's much more palatable now and I will finish the tin but it's still too much of a weird concoction to buy this ever again.
