McClelland Frog Morton's Cellar

I get excited about other blends of course, but this one, along with a few others, is always one of those blends I want to go to when I look upon my jars of tobacco, trying to decide with which to fill the bowl... though it does seem to border (and perhaps it just IS) an aromatic tobacco experience (vanilla has to be added it seems to my taste buds) it is a wonderful experience from opening the jar, to charring light, to the very end of the bowl. I love the mild latakia and virginia taste and what perhaps is the whiskey coming through, as well as whatever else it is dancing off my tongue and in my nostrils! For me a very sweet smoke, and similar to Beck's Ol'Limey Bastard. Both are very good in my humble opinion.

EDIT: Well, the longer I've smoked and the more I've smoked, the less I've come to love Ol' Cellar. Hate to say it... but have to be honest with myself. For me, it increasing tastes cased with vanilla and something else. This does not destroy it for me, and I still enjoy it, but I do choose others over it pretty often now. Perhaps my pallet is maturing, perhaps it's just the natural way this hobby works, and perhaps it will return. However it feels more cased to me now and is less of what I prefer. I've come to prefer blends that have little to no casing... down one star...

Another Frog Morton classic. The whiskey marries to the latakia quite well. I am not a whiskey-flavored tobacco fan, but when the spirits combine with the latakia, a true winner is produced.

This is my first review. I sit here now, jazz playing low on my back porch. Just lit up a bowl of Frog Morton's Cellar....wow, just wow. To give an idea of how amazing this is, I just made an account to give this major props. I read numerous review and was skeptical that it could be as good as everyone says. I'm relatively new to pipes. I come from the cigar world, now loving the even slower pace of the pipe world. I had not found anything that just blew me away. Soooo many likes but no loves. I tried many aromatics which were ok but just missed something. I tried Oxford flake, and premium English blends that were very good, but still just did not just make me overly excited. I pulled the trigger and ordered a 50g tin of FMC. Had a long day at work, came home and worked out. Sat down, smelled the opened tin that I JUST had delivered and just melted. The Latakia, as everyone says, is definitely there, but it's just so tame. It's so smooth I can't describe it. The wood stage from the whiskey barrel is genius IMHO. It gives it that extra sweet was and complexity. You just sit there discovering new tastes and smells. Makes me appreciate my pipe and reflect on my day. Reminds me of sitting by a bonfire at night with a cool breeze coming off the lake while set up in my hammock. Love it. All I can say. Being my first review I'm sure this is just scattered thoughts. Just had to make an account and brag on this tobacco. It's a beautiful thing to come across something like this. I found my tin, my go to relaxation button. I'd type more but I'm using two hands and my pipe went out, time to get back to my happy place. The wife loved the smell, also big plus. Definitely a tin for beginners to pipe vets. Seems to burn cool and slow with absolutely NO tongue bite while staying buttery smooth. Much respect from myself and my Peterson pipe for this blend. Take that trip through Frog Morton's Cellar, but be warned, you may not leave.

I don't need to another long review about this blend. It smells good. It tastes good. It smokes great. The charring light on my very first bowl was all it needed to win me over. Cellar and Bayou are my favorites in this series.

Incredible tobacco.. I'm usually an aromatic smoker, but this English/Aro hybrid is amazing. So amazing in fact, that it has become my favorite tobacco of all time. Right next to STM by Just for him.

All I can say is WOW! I'm a huge fan of the Frog Morton line, and this one is no exception. Top notch.

Gone but not forgotten. This is one blend this will always be in my memory. This blend provides a cool and clean smoke while tasting lightly of a earthy and grassy breeze. The glorious smell of charred wood and light spice, this blend will put you in the mood to camp in the wilderness. This was smooth and clean. I will always remember this wonderful tobacco. 🐸

I truly wanted this blend to be special but it's just an average English Aromatic. People spend $100.00 bucks or more on a 3.5 ounce tin.

In my opinion people hyped it to charge alot of money for it.

Plum Pudding Bourbon barrel aged is better than the Cellar. Lord Morgan is better to me.

I feel like I am the only person that does not like this stuff smells great burns great does not taste great to me but give it a shot it's defiantly different
