A classic blend of smooth, fragrant black cavendish, mellow burley and sweet Virginia, enhanced with a light caramel-hazelnut note. Rich and satisfying.

I am an experienced aromatic smoker of many decades and recently began searching for hazelnut flavored tobacco. Since little tinned tobacco is offered with hazelnut, I suspect that it must be difficult to achieve. Labrador is not what I'm looking for. It smells like hazelnut in the tin but does not taste like hazelnut. The taste that lingers in the mouth is one of almond. It bites, that is, there is a powerful chemical taste that makes unpleasant sensation on tongue and is present for at least half the bowl. It burns hot very easily. Hazelnut must be hard to do.

I don't smoke aros much, and bought this one at a shop on a whim, given an actual Labrador waiting at home.
Tin note is amazing. Short of diving in face first, smells like it would make a hell of an ice cream topping. And as with most McClelland blends (imo), quality leaf.
Needless to say, when the aromatic mood finally struck, I was excited to try it. First few puffs were harsh and disappointing to say the least, and it definitely started out as a zero-to-one-star blend. Got much, much better once I finished the first 1/4 of the bowl or so, both taste and room note. Have only smoked it once, so aging and/or drying might make for a better start next time.
If you like aros, this one seems worth a try. Reasonably priced too.
