The Beagle recently won "Best in Show" at Westminster. Watching that show reminded me that I had never reviewed the Nording Beagle from the Hunter seris and I had actually smoked a tin over a month's period just a short while back. It is a winner for me because the Virginia was stoved and dark, with a richer, more satisfying taste than many VaPer's that I have tried. The Perique was added with a restrained hand and it is not at all overwhelming.

I do believe that this is the same blend from McClelland... Bulk No.2015 Virginia Flake. Can anybody confirm or deny? 🙂
They both look identical. Smell identical and smoke the same. Wonderful VaPer blend. See my review of McClelland Bulk No.2015 Virginia Flake to see my comments. Sweet, rich, tangy, and just soooo pleasant... Good stuff!
This has become one of my favorites!

Nording - Beagle (Hunter Blend).
The tobacco arrives as semi-broken flakes: there's a few broken flakes, big and small, but the majority of my tin consists of flakes that look as though they've only been slightly bashed about. The tin note's quite good, as a fellow reviewer said: sweet hay. The blend's moistness is unquestionably perfect, so on we go:
It lights easily, even though I leave the tobacco chunky, and then the smoke's very satisfying. The Perique lends a gentle spiciness to the flavour, without hogging it; to me, it seems to be a little sharper than fruity alone. This slight sharpness makes it pair with ginger beer perfectly (ginger beer, I'm teetotal!!). The Virginia's responsible for a lot more of the taste: this isn't just citrus, or hay, there's quite a pleasing sweetness, with a touch of dough.
The nicotine's medium, and I feel indifferent towards the room-note.
A very good blend:
Highly recommended.

Too bad only four stars are available to rate this incredible VaPer blend. I absolutely love this stuff. I'm not really a fan of Perique but I find its presence in only the first quarter to one third of the bowl or so and nearly non- existent thereafter. After the presence of perique burns off you are left with nothing but smooth and creamy sweet Virginia for the rest of the experience burning down to a fine gray ash. I discovered Beagle when a trader friend tossed some in as an extra sample for a try. Wow!, was I glad he did. I immediately sent off for a tin. Before Beagle came along I had tried some Va/Per's but was not impressed at all. With some the perique presence nearly ripped my sinuses out of my head and others had something going on with the Virginia that created some terrible stuff. Beagle is truly a Va/Per masterpiece.

Nicely prepared pressed flake with yellow to dark brown strains from McClelland made for Arango Cigar in IL. Ideal moisture content straight from the tin that I just packed without rubout. Also lacked the intense ketchup aroma that I dislike of some other McClelland blends although it's there to some degree. Cool, even smoke in all sized bowls without the need for relights. Nice balance between the VAs and Perique resulted in an enjoyable smoke.
