McClelland GKCPC English Woods
(3.14)
The traditional medium Balkan mixture in its top form. Zesty lemon and orange Virginias are blended with rich Cyprian latakia and the finest Greek Basma, then aged to develop this naturally fragrant complex and harmonious Oriental mixture. An invigorating tobacco, both satisfying and refreshing.
Notes: Originally introduced in November, 1989 for the Greater Kansas City Pipe Club, is now part of the Club Blends Series.

With McClelland's co-owner Mike McNiel being a member of the Greater KC Pipe Club, I never worry whether one of their McClelland's Club Blends will be worth the coin spent. He always makes sure the selections are of great quality and this one certainly has it all. Nicely ripened and specially processed Virginia plays softly in the background with the smoky Cyprian Latakia and delicate but firm and spicy Orientals also in attendance. Just a wonderful smoke and worth ever penny spent.

English Woods for me was one of the unsung heroes of the McClelland line. I was gifted some by someone who expected more of a traditional English by the name I guess and didn't care for it.
It is a Oriental Leading smoke to me for sure and I find it similar to other McC Balkan blends that I've had. Really easy to pack, light, and smoke it doesn't hit me with over the top latakia but is a nice spicy blend which I've really enjoyed in the evening after dinner.
I'd trade Frog Mortons for this any day of the week.
