McClelland CORPS Quantum
(3.00)
A perfectly splendid, well aged, all Virginia ribbon blend that stands on its own without the added support of condimental tobaccos. This fine Virginia needs no help. It is made with very ripe red, orange and yellow leaf and delivers an amazing depth of flavor. Take ample time to savor it slowly.
Notes: Originally introduced in May, 1996 for the Conclave of Richmond Pipe Smokers, is now part of the Club Blends Series.

The Virginias have a little of the "vinegar" you expect from McClelland Virginias, but it's not distracting and is mostly covered up by the fermentation of the tobaccos. They're tangy with dried dark fruit, some tart and tangy citrus, grass, earth, bread, sugar, wood, and a very small spice note. Not complex, but makes for a decent all day smoke, though the sweetness weakens some near the finish. Otherwise, the flavor is consistent to the end. Won't bite or get harsh, and sports very few rough moments. The strength and nc-hit are a step past the center of mild to medium. The taste level is a notch ahead of that. Burns cool, clean and a tad slow. Requires a few relights if not dried first. Will leave a little moisture in the bowl, but no dottle. Has a lightly lingering, pleasant after taste, and room note. Two and a half stars.
