McClelland CPCC Samovar
(3.64)
A rich full Oriental mixture, pleasantly fragrant with just enough rare Syrian latakia to satisfy without overwhelming. Warm spiritually satisfying, this dark, full Oriental pipe mixture is redolent with exotic Syrian latakia. Soothing as a cup of rich Russian tea.
Notes: Originally introduced in April, 1995 for the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors' Club, is now part of the Club Blends Series.

To me nothing special here; smokeable yes, special no. Actually rather boring with the very occasional Oriental leaf making itself known, hesitant to even call it an Oriental blend; however, technically it is. Bitter mid-bowl and the rest of the way down and too grassy for me.
Perhaps older versions were superior; regardless, I won't be buying this again nor it is recommended since the billing and blend are mediocre at best, with generosity.
The last tinned McClelland that I'll ever buy far too much Propylene Glycol screwing-up the combustion, as result plenty duds o'plenty apart from Butera Latakia no. 1 and no. 2 those are cellar worthy in my view. Mike Butera must have a rider regarding PG, thankfully.

I am so done with McClelland products. I have been trying to smoke a can of Samovar for the last couple of days. I have become use to there products being to wet for days after opening. But the amount of lumber in there products has come to An all time high with this can of Samovar. Big hard chunks of lumber instead of tobacco. Can not pack a pipe with this crap if you tried. I have no need to put up with this crap when there are plenty of other better products out there to choose from. Sad thing is like every company out there today no one at this company seems to listen or care about there customers. I say pass on McClelland and perhaps you should to. Peace.
