This one may quickly hit my top five aromatics list. I'm a fan of caramel flavoring and this dark Black Cavendish blend is loaded with the stuff! I opened the tin and immediately started salivating. At the match, wowsers, a strong caramel taste (frankly, almost overwhelming), washed over my palate but then settled down and became manageable. And typical of McClelland aromatics, #401 smoked mostly cool and the dottle at the bottom of the bowl was not overly moist. A very nice smoke that I think may become a really good friend!

McClelland - No. 401 Darkest Caramel.
Although it's badged as being a ribbon-cut, it's a very coarse and chunky mix, and brilliantly hydrated. The smell from the pouch reminds me of a sweet, syrupy, pancake; this sets the mood for a decadent smoke perfectly. And that's EXACTLY what happens.
There's not that much to be said regarding the flavour: it's sweet, very sweet! The caramel is the main flavour, with a fairly standard Black Cavendish attribute behind it; way behind it! Something else that doesn't require many words is the temperature: very cool. There's no nicotine in #401 D.C., well that might be a bit dramatic; it's VERY mild. Finally, it doesn't bite me, and the room-note's adorable.
This is one seriously indulgent blend.
Highly recommended.

This is a very nice Aromatic Tobacco that is sure to please lovers of BCA, Molto Dolce, Caramel Rush and VBC.
Cool smoking, lots of Caramel flavor - not overly sweet but done just right.
Like Msr. Pipestud this tobacco moves to the top of my Aro list. Definitely worth trying.

I can't believe I have failed to review this tobacco. I smoke it at least once a week. The caramel taste combined with the always exceptional McClelland tobacco makes this one of my favorites, and the room note is a winner ith everyone I have smoked around. If you like aromatics, you will love this!

I never thought I'd find anything as good as "Sutliff Molto Dolce" but "Bulk No.401 Darkest Caramel" equals it in every way "and you can by in bulk for a third the price".

Correction.
This doesn't take the place of "Sutliff Molto Dolce" (which is the Rolls Royce of aeromatics) but is a good afforable alternative.
Buy a little of each and you'll not be dissapointed.
