McClelland No. 2050 Oriental Cavendish Mix
(2.35)
This is an unusual mixture, because it contains no Latakia, yet still has the round, rich flavor one would expect from this style of tobacco. Liberal quantities of Orientals and a special Virginia Cavendish made with Eastern Belt Carolina leaf combine with Black Cavendish to make this a tobacco that will satisfy a great variety of tastes.

This blend is a nice Oriental flavor but is missing something, LATAKIA. The predominate flavors are of the Cavendish tobaccos but the Orientals shine thru from time to time. The VA. tobaccos make the blend sweet but I miss the smoky taste found in Latakia blended orientals.

As others have said, this tobacco is only a short step from your typical drugstore cavendish. Cavendish, VA, Oriental, "raisiny" smelling topping. I have an 8 oz bag which I will smoke through, but won't buy more. There is nothing remarkable about this either good or bad, but with so many other fine tobaccos available, there's no reason to buy more.

I got this at an ounce .Im glad i did not buy more.2050 is rather weird at first light the orientals peaked out then slowly goes dowm to a the more cavendish taste . For me the best part of this smoke session was in the middle of the bowl and after before it starts tasting ashy. My wife did not like this to much but tolerated it. the scent is a head scratcher I cant place the smell.but it is 50/50 for me. I will go on to find more tobaccs.

Another AROMATIC in disguise. I'm a big fan of the McClelland bulk 2000 series, in general. Bulk 2000 Fragrant Virginia was disappointing for lack of flavor, but 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2035 are stellar, in my book. So as I approached my sample baggie of 2050, I had great expectations. I mean, yummy McClelland Virginias and non-Latakia orientals? Maybe something like Fez? Hardly.
There is very little tobacco, or any other, flavor to this blend. Perhaps the Virginias and Orientals were severely Cavendished, had their flavors sucked out. The next step would have been to load this puppy up with PG, and some undiscernable melange of casings. It smokes cool, smells great in pouch and room, but that's where the blend ends. Even less flavorful than #2000, I traded this.

This is a nicely made, non-biting Cavendish. Nothing less, nothing more.
