McClelland Frog Morton's Cellar
(3.47)
A mellow, fragrant latakia blend aged with stave cubes cut from barrels used to mature and flavor Frog Morton's own special whiskeys.
Notes: Notes: The name Frog Morton comes to us from the works of JRR Tolkien. Frogmorton: A village in the Eastfarthing of the Shire. It stood on the East Road, between the Three-farthing Stone (fourteen miles to the west) and the Brandywine Bridge (twenty-two miles to the east). Immediately to the north of the village, the stream known as the Water broke into two, creating a wide watery region - this feature seems to have given Frog Morton its name, which means "frog marsh".

Yech.
Reminded me of the terrible day 40 years ago when I filled a bowl with my Dad's room-pleasing Captain Black. Vanilla casing! Augh!. I've long enjoyed the Frog Morton Latakia line, bought this from the label description, didn't expect anything so powerfully aromatic and candy-flavored. Whisky? No. Vanilla Turkish taffy is more like it. I'm sorely disappointed.
Live and learn. Will be looking for an aromatic-smoking friend I can dump this on.

Frog Morton's Ass would have been a more appropriate name. This review has to be a 25 word minimum; only 10 were needed for it.

Perhaps my real issue is that I simply don't like whiskey flavored tobacco, but I think I'm going to toss this tin after trying to enjoy it several times. It tastes like I'm smoking the chunk of barrel that ships in the tin.

I really had High hopes for this blend. It packed ok, Moisture out of the can was acceptable. Date code on my small can is 470413 , Really nice chunk of wood in the can. Stayed Lite pretty well, Didnt bite nor get too hot. Very Weak in body, Very very mild nicotine, No whiskey flavor present. It reminds me of several other MC bulk latakia blends. very dissappointed. It did smell pretty good in the can.

I've reviewed many tobaccos and never given below three stars, but I have to make an exception this time--and I'm a big Frog Morton fan. Here are the problems:
Goop. This redefines a goopy tobacco. My entire bowl was wet with goop that I had to scrape out and eventually dry out.
The scent is nice when you open the tin, but it is overpowering for the first few days the tin is open, and then fades into irrelevance. After a few weeks of being open, this tobacco has almost no taste.
The cut of the tobacco is by far the worst I've ever seen. The ribbons are of such varying sizes and fineness that it's impossible to pack it properly. My pipe hisses and doesn't allow a good, clean pull. There are a ton of stems too.
I'm so frustrated with this blend I'm actually throwing out the rest of what I have left, which is about a third of a tin. Very disappointing.
