McClelland GKCPC Nocturne
(3.17)
In the deep, dark, middle of the night, you stroll along a narrow country path. A cloud of fragrant smoke from your favorite pipe trails behind you. You have ventured out to taste the flavor of the night, examine the shadows, the starlight, to savor the moonglow. You smoke Nocturne, mysterious, intriguing, rich and profoundly flavorful. It is a very good night.
Notes: Originally introduced in July, 1993 for the Greater Kansas City Pipe Club, is now part of the Club Blends Series.

Smooth but hard to keep lit. I feel like I'm puffing way too hard to keep this lit. Not a big blast of flavor, but pleasant. Good crossover blend for that , English beginner.
Updated 3/20/2014- Well, whenever I see that I got a negative vote, I want to revise my initial review so here goes ( tried again with 1 1/2 years of cellar time);

Opening the tin reveals a soft leathery spice rounded with scent of figs and BBQ and it remains like this till its dry for packing, something that will not require much effort as the wetness its very mild. If you let it dry properly it will lit well. And goes along smoothly. The first impression its kinda gentle, perhaps too much as it comes flat with not much revelations, it will take the first quarter of the pipe to change the enduring flat smoke turning as a soft hit of white wine with fruity after taste on the base of the tongue, this is the peak of the experience and this sensation will get always surrounded by the ghost of the initial smoke. Past the half of the bowl the fruity aftertaste goes away and some distant leather spiceness surrounds the tongue. The end its a flashback from the beginning, soft, smooth smoke, pleasant but not amazing. The room note its pleasant but simple, not demanding nor strong with a very light spirit.
Ideal indeed for a fresh night, its a tobacco for dim lights and shadows, with two dimensions and practical for beginners just like me discovering tastes and structures, its own simplicity makes it special for minimalist moments. Id say perfect for just one small bowl and a day where you want everything to be simple.

Leathery aroma in the tin. Just a slight whiff of McC's "ketchuppy" scent. Smooth and rich on first light. Rich and full on the tongue, zero bite. Overall, very rich and smooth. Not super interesting or complex, but satisfying. I'll finish the tin, but I prefer Frog Morton over this.
2 and 1/2 stars.
