If one has acquired a taste for this tobacco, one has thus understood pipes and tobaccos. It is a very fine broken flake, enjoyable in small and large briar bowls alike. I find it best when dried somewhat and rubbed well in a large bowl. Once you hit the zone it brings about a soft bite-free vaper flavour that can only be described as it is. To describe it with fruits, inanimate objects or even legumes is simply not appropriate since "tobacco" is the operative adjective and noun alike. This blend is worthy of an entry in the encyclopaedia under VAPer Tobacco. There are many in the same group, but I classify this among the best benchmarks because it is well made, high quality and presents a cherished flavour only for the initated. Have some in your stash along with Telegraph Hill, Solani 633, Filmore, Irish Oak, Luxury Bull's Eye Flake and Haunted Bookshop.

Tangy McClelland Red Virginias and some peppery Perique make this bulk blend very tasty. It tastes like 5100 with a dash of Perique, not a lot, but enough to satisfy my Perique craving. Very much an all day smoke for Va/Per lovers, highly recommended.

a great smoke in my opinion, as good as it is, Think If McClelland offered it in tins what it would be like if aged for a few years . I an't complaining tho I have some aging in sealed jars. 4 stars hoo-boy

This is the first VA/PER blend I have smoked and I found it to be a most pleasing experience. This blend did not bite as much as other Virginias I have smoked (I am guessing because of the Perique). This is the best McClelland blend I have smoked to date. I found that while smoking this blend, my cares of the day seemed to drift away with the smoke.

This is my benchmark Virginia/Perique blend. It's the standard by which I measure others of this genre. I always rub it out for a nice, even burn. Of course, you can't beat the price.

There are three words that made me buy this tobacco. Virginia, Flake, and McClelland.
The Virginia is first rate, and the Perique is well-behaved. If you have shied away from VaPers because of too much Perique, this is your solution. A nice all-day VaPer.
Everyone says that 2015 gets beter with age. I have no idea if that's true or not. As soon as I get it, I smoke it till it's gone. Some day I will learn enough self-control to age some. Maybe.

Great smoke. I was at my local smoke shop browsing for something new and exciting, and my tobacconist said: "hey, this 2015 is a great little smoke." So, i bought a few ounces and found my pouch getting lighter and lighter as the days went on. My experience with flakes is limited, but i did find the flakes to be quite thick. Suprisingly though, it was not hard to keep lit. The sweetness of the virginias is very pleasant, and sometimes the perique jumps out at you towards the middle of the bowl. This is def. a go to smoke for me. The room note is a little bit overwhelming, but i can deal with that. bottom line.. If you love the sweet natural tobacco flavor of virginias, you'll be addicted to this blend.. I am truly impressed. Don't be scared away by the mcclelland name. it truly is, how do i say it, a little taste of heaven.
Almost forgot.. one must smoke 2015 SLOWLY..

January 2006.Mc Clelland 2015 Bulk.
Why doesn't Mc C,put this superb blend in a tin? It's thoroughly delicious,especially,after 3 to 6 month's aging in rubber-sealed glass jar's.Age it even longer,for a really perfect result.
Take out the amount of tobacco you intend to smoke,and just let it sit and air on a sheet of paper for 10 to 20 min's,depending on the temperature.Then load your pipe,light,tamp,and away you go..on a more than pleasannt pipe-smoking experience!
The virginia is pure pleasure,and the perique element is just sheer perfection,with-out one trying to out-do the other.
I love both Escudo,and Mc's 2015,the former has a flavouring,and the latter doe's not.But,I love them both in there own right.
Highly recommended.

I just got done reviewing 5100 and many of the same aging comments apply; you need to age 2015 a few months or longer to appreciate the flavors. This tobacco is a great VAPER and tastes very similar to Solani 633 without 633's sweetness. The quality of virginia's is up there and just the right amount of perique is added. For the price, 2015 and C&D Bayou Morning are great VAPERS.

Too stong for beginners and likely to bite the overactive. Very rewarding for those with a enough will power to go slow. Relatively complex for a Virginnia Blend. Probably too stinky for most group situations. Good outdoor smoke when relaxing.
10/20/2004: Just dipped in to my latest shipment of 2015. Just right moisture content. Flakes somewhat flexible, fold, roll a little and stuff it in the bowl...ahhhh! Good stuff! Later the S.O. says just the smell on my clothing made her lungs start closing down. This is the best tasting 2015 yet, just mind the non-smokers cause this stuff stinks!
