McClelland Jubilee

This is simply one of the best latakia blends ever. If you are looking for a power house latakia dominated blend then look elsewhere. This blend delivers in all categories,sweet,smooth,flavor packed.

Bye Bye Early Morning pipe. Try it boys it will not disappoint!!

color and cut are great and this air pocket packs very nicely. the taste is pure, sweet, and unique. this obviously is choice tobacco of all the types in the blend. i thought that i would like it before opening the tin simply becuase it was a mcllelands vaper, i just didnt know how much. i have it sitting next to a tin of frog morton on the bayou and find that i prefer the jubilee. the only thing negative that i would suggest is that the tin artwork is somewhat plain when compared to many of the offerings today, don't let this deter you, buy it for what is inside.

Freevito pretty much covers it, but i have to say how good this is. To me it tastes like buttered cashews that have been dug up from an ashtray from lasts nights party. sounds bad but oh is it good. this blend screams to be smoked in an old calabash pipe with an amber stem. If you are fortunate to own a turn of the century barling, pack it with jubilee and enjoy!

One of the English blends that I like the most of all the ones I have tried. I think that an important difference with respect to other mixes of the same type, lies in the fact that the power of the virginias that McClelland uses is not overshadowed by the Latakia, something that is the case with other English and Balkan mixes. The flavor provides a good diversity of nuances, roasted, smoked, buttery, sweet and sour. When I smoke it at night with a good whiskey, I enjoy it like a pig in a puddle.

Four firm stars.

My o my does Jubilee make for a wonderful breakfast smoke! I would have purchased Jubilee years ago but every time I read the tin description in the store and seeing Latakia, Perique and Turkish I imagined a heady and powerhouse blend (I should have looked up reviews). Instead Jubilee is mostly a ribbon cut Virginia / Oriental with some Latakia and Perique condimental tobacco's added for spice which is perfect for that first bowl of the day. Mild on the strength / Nicotine level and does not tire the palate. The Latakia and Perique are very lightly applied so I didn't get the normal Pepe Le Pew reaction from the ladies which is appreciated and therefore I can enjoy that first pipe in the house. Believe all the four star reviews and try Jubilee before the existing tins are exhausted.

just finished a bowl of this fine tobacco in my new Blatter select horn. I can't say why I really like this ,but it was recommended by Patrick. it is just so tasty.
