McClelland Royal Cajun Dark
(3.30)
A blend of five exceptional red and stoved Virginias seasoned liberally with cool, subtly smokey Cajun Black. An incredible smoking experience - deeply rich in flavor, compelling in aroma, exquisitely mild on the palate.

Tin: Much, much more subdued compared to RCS, being a little smoky, but not very sweet or buttery like RCS. RCD is lightly moist and just a tad sticky. It is 90% black and 10% dark black-brown.
Packing & Lighting: It packed easy enough, but is not so easy to keep lit. Soon after firing up, a small amount of gurgle persists, but it generally burns to the bottom of the bowl. Multiple bowls give an undue accumulation of moisture around the shank.
Taste & Aroma: I get a peppery feel only when the smoke is directed straight onto the tongue. If it could be termed a chocolate taste, the result is a cloying effect of a plastic palate. There seems to be a vinegar component in the aroma. I even considered not finishing the tin.
While puffing lightly, the smoke is cool like menthol, even though there is none in it. Something akin to cedar/woodsy, I would describe RCD as having a distinct plastic dark chocolate taste and aroma.
Nicotine: Mild to moderate, slightly less than RCS.
Room Note: Although mild, diagreeable and lingered like an aromatic.
Overall: I didn't care for RCD at all. It seems like an aromatic. A couple of weeks after opening the tin, it stays lit easier and has a nicer taste and leaves much less moisture in the pipe. 2.0 stars.
