McClelland Christmas Cheer 2010
(3.29)
Handblended, premium pressed Virginia flake tobaccos. A fine vintage, naturally sweet, in limited quantity. We are proud to offer our 2010 Christmas Cheer pipe tobacco, hand blended and aged in pressed cakes to develop natural mellowness. This 2010 blend is made with a special selection of sugary, red-orange Middle Belt flue-cured Virgina from the 2004 crop near Durham. These ripe, sun-dappled leaves, picked at their peak, should age extremely well in the tin.
Notes: Each buying season, we look for tobaccos of exceptional quality and distinctive character. In various combinations, their flavors, aromas, textures contribute to the overall excellence of our products. The leaves of different crops and regions are combined to maintain consistency from year to year. With Christmas Cheer pipe tobacco, we treat our discriminating customers to the singular pleasure of a tasting of the very finest in tobaccos of a particular vintage, not worrying about maintaining the flavor and appearance of this product into future years but actually striving instead to present the unique character of a single crop and area. That's what Christmas Cheer pipe tobacco is all about. Happy sampling!

The CC 2010 is a disappointment to me. I loved the 2009; some of the best stuff I've smoked, and I re- ordered. The 2010, to me, was OK right after I opened it up, but my over-all feeling is that it has a sourness, an acrid taste, and it leaves a similarly unpleasant odor in the room. I didn't much care for the 2008, either, so I am hoping that the every-two-years pattern kicks in again with the 2011, which I have yet to order. The reviewer who noted difficulty in keeping it lit may need to rub it out more completely and allow it to sit out for a while.
