I smoked this blend since 2004 on Thanksgiving each year and the family has come to expect its lovely aroma after the feast. This year i am completely out of it and so i am heartbroken. O well, i purchased some Uhles blend #300 to take its place. I want to wish everyone here a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Update: Bufflehead tobacco's are no longer available at any price so my personal recommend rating must go down 2 stars because even if you found a tin, the price you would pay would be too great.
When i placed my last order for Mclelland, David at Bufflehead sent me a sample of this. I immediatley fell in love with this tobacco.!! It is a very light colored blend, with just a few specks of black cavendish. Very few.
Tastes like real tobacco and only has a light vanilla smell in the air to keep others happy. I taste only a smooth buttery sweetness.
All in all a top quality blend. I really only smoke aromatics, and this is the only one that has tobacco taste and no goop.-None. I ordered some more for Turkey day!!. Family will love the smell. Burns evenly without a sizzle and no tongue bite. Makes me happy.

"Young Piper's" comments above are very close to my opinion about Masked Duck. Admittedly not much of an aromatic fan, I still like to know of a few good ones if the need arises. Masked Duck is a fine choice for those of us who wobble between Full English and straight Virginias, by way of Latakia and brushes with the Aromatic tribe. Masked Duck provides some nice taste of natural tobacco and doesn't get carried away with the additives or the pipe-wrecking goop. It does easily dry one's mouth a lot though. Meanwhile, the locals seem to remain Peace-prone and able to converse about something other than the sudden change in the atmosphere at the strike of a match, and that's a nice touch. Were it not for another Bufflehead blend (Ruddy Duck), I might be tempted to buy more Masked Duck. But, alas, Ruddy Duck is an aromatic that is so good in some many ways I've decided to allocate my entire allocation of Masked Duck to Young Piper and like-minded souls. Alas, due mostly it's drying effect and subdued taste I have to be stingy and give Masked Duck only two stars.
