McClelland Celebrated Sovereign
(3.31)
A classical English mixture made with Syrian latakia, Turkish Djubec, matured jet black cavendish, bright Carolina and red Virginia. Pressed and matured in Scottish style cakes before spinning into ribbon form, this is a true connoisseur's tobacco for those who are seeking that elusive, ultimate latakia mixture.
Notes: "Ashton Revival" introduced at Chicagoland Pipe Show in May, 2010.

I really wanted to like this revival of a now classic blend but I was put off by the sweet rosé sparkling wine topping. The Black Cavendish and Virginia overpower the rest of the tobaccos. No fragrant Turkish and the Latakia is there in spades. Surely not an English but an Aromatic. I had the real deal a long time ago and I remember being blown away by the experience. The past should remain in the past, just for the sake of good memories.
