McClelland RSVP Invitation

This tobacco was a pretty good smoke. Like most aromatics, it's a one-trick pony, but it's one helluva nice trick. It packed well and burned very evenly.

First third: Good smoke, some nougat flavor comes through with some light tobacco flavor. Nothing super special, but quite pleasant to get through this stage.

Second third: Smoke becomes creamier, with a subtle vanilla mixed with toasted nougat detectable over the mild tobacco flavor. Doesn't become a rich mixture, but also doesn't bite when puffed and tongue is still alive and kicking.

Last third: Deeper casing flavors mixed with a stronger, spicier tobacco flavor. The best part of this smoke. Ash is fine and powdery. 9mm filter absorbed some liquid, but not as much as other aromatics. Did not foul the pipe, at all.

This is a good blend for occasional smokers and all-day smokers. It's not the taste superstar and doesn't have enough kick for an English devotee, but it's a fine tobacco for a sunny day and it behaves very well, even under dedicated puffing. A recommended tobacco.
