McClelland Bayou Slice
(3.39)
Sophisticated small slices of the smoothest Louisiana perique aged in cakes to mellow with sweet, zesty matured Virginia. Rich and satisfying, with perique's uniquely mysterious and compelling aroma, enhanced by Blakeney's exclusive toasting process.
"Choose Blakeney where toasting bans the bite for a smoke that's right"
Notes: McClelland introduced their Blakeney's Best line at the 21st CORPS (Conclave of Richmond Pipe Smokers) Pipe Show in Richmond, Virginia. The 50 grams tin was released to the public in late 2005.

Given the successful effort creating St. James Woods, I just don't see the justification for McClelland producing Bayou Slices. The "slices" are more like wood chips of tobacco, thick and tough to keep smoldering. It leaves a sooty taste in my mouth and smells akin to a cigarette burning. SJW rarely bites me and each time I smoked BS, my tongue was sore. I think it is actually a well-layered blend in terms of flavors, with even something Turkish lurking in the shadows, but I cannot check enough boxes to warrant spending more time exploring. YMMV
This is probably the end of my tests of Blakeney's Best series, having smoked Acadian Ribbon (loved it) and Latakia Flake, which is a bit of al'right. Tawny Flake's tin description, along with the TR reviewers, just haven't drawn me in.
