McClelland No. 110 Just Plain Nut

The aroma and flavor of this blend is fantastic. Im usually not big on aeromatics but I must say I thoroughly enjoy this one. Just be careful it will bite if provoked.

Taste great, burnt good, I tend to smoke fast and it will bite if you do.

It's an ok blend. It is a nice ribbon cut, and smells great in the jar. Plain nut packs easily, and it smokes down nicely to about the lower 1/3. This blend has a nice almondish nut flavor it, just on the top of each puff. It left more wetness in the bottom than I care for though, and I smoke other aromatics.

Top notch looking tobacco though, and I will enjoy the rest of the 2 ounces I purchased awhile back. I might pick up more, but only if I go back to McCranies. I won't die if I don't have this blend, its pleasant but nothing more.

This blend smells to me more of a chocolate. It came to me as a sample with justg #110 and McClelland and I thought it was their chocolate blend. It smells good enough to eat in the pouch, a mottled mixture of alight and dark tobaccos. It loaded very easily into my pipe and was not at all too sticky though was moist. Upon lighting it, it had a light chocolate flavor and a very burley taste and aroma. As I smoked it, the hazelnut note did come out but not really strong. The VA twang was in the background and it seemed a little biting without actually doing so. It stayed lit very well and burned down to a grey ash and little dottle and moisture in the bottom of my pipe. It never felt that this was a breakthrough blend and I will finsih the pouch as it's a pleasant smoke, but is a little blah to me so won't buy any more. It is a nice burley smoke and great in a cobb.

Excellent aromatic! Smells good, smokes mild and easy with pleasant room note.

4 Stars.

This tobacco has a great tin note. I think it maybe the best around. The room note is also wonderful, but the taste does not deliver on its initial impression, or not at first. At the top of the bowl it is a fairly mild aromatic, and it gets richer as the bowl progresses. It is kind of like a rich pie, the further you get toward the end the more concentrated the taste. I do not smoke this tobacco alone, but do find it nice to mix with burly blends. It just seems to give them some body. It has all the aromatic "issues" that you expect, but is absolutely worth putting up with.

This is a wonderful blend. The pre-light armoa smells like a peanut butter cup. A lot of aromatics I've smoked smelled great however didn't quite taste as good as they smelled but not this one. The flavour doesn't come out very strong at first but it's thick room odor aids the development of the flavour. This has become one of my favorites as a dessert pipe after a fine meal.

It works REALLY well if you enjoy it with a rich coffee. The flavours just mix.

Smells nice. Otherwise, "blah".

End of review.

Probably a good blender. Not too exciting by itself. Good quality tobacco though.
