McClelland Wilderness
(3.61)
This remarkable blend formulated by Fred Hanna provides a multi-layered, rich, taste experience. The highest quality Syrian latakia combines with a small amount of Cyprian to form the base for an exquisite array of rare and precious Orientals - sweet Drama, exotic Yenidje, and more. Red Virginias complement the blend, adding sweetness, richness, strength, and creaminess. Smoke this mixture and listen for the echoes of savored memories.

Some will tell you there has never been an English blend I hated, but that's not true. The owner of our local shop brought back a number of blends from the RTDA show. He put out a few of them out for us to sample, and this was one. It was the last of the group I sampled and I enjoyed them all However, Wilderness was over the top. I'm thinking that Fred Hanna is my new favorite blender. I'd even bet if GLP tried this one he'd say, Wow!
Great from the match to the bottom of the bowl. Good latakia flavor without knocking you over. It has a hint of sweetness that comes in and out. I'm only hoping that they eventually pack it in a larger can. I know I said the other day that Nocturne my new go-to, but I may have been a permature.

This seems to be what I stuff in my pipe after a long day of trying new blends, and I need a tongue saver. The different tobaccos all smell and taste fresh, smoke cool and it leaves a rich, creamy aftertaste. I can close my eyes and picture why this is called Wilderness - Earthy tones always leaving a cool, satisfying feeling during its entirety.

a very good verginia based english blend. if you like a light, sweet, woodsy english blend this is for you. this has made its way into my regular rotation.

A special Oriental , quite difficult to put words on it even after 2 tins because it's quite complex but certainly interesting .
A great blend to be kept.

Not much I can add to the review by Marshall Law. The pine aroma/flavor is exquisite unique and smooth as silk.
Wilderness makes you glad you are alive and can quietly enjoy a blend of this caliber. The signature aroma of a McClelland product is there when you open the tin (I love that smell, call it what you wish, to me it will always represent the promise of pleasure to come).
How good is this tobacco? If dumbo sat with the taliban, shared some Wilderness and gave the promise of instate tuition, perhaps we would not be at war. Tobacco for the "peace pipe". Enjoy!!
