McClelland No. 5110 Dark English Full

Very nice tobacco with healthy overlays of latakia. burns well, no bite though little boring after a time. Good for a rotation.

Again one of my McClelland favorite bulk tobaccos, I find this blend smoke better with my grp 5 Dunhill briar Canadian.

Sweet, smooth, soft, creamy with some coffee/chocolate background, mild in nicotine, well balanced Lat/Va/Oriental.

I don?t think this is a natural tobacco blend, there is some topping and there is some casing, but after all I really don?t care as long as it is a good smoke, and I find this really good smoke, easy to pack and light, I will get 1 pound for aging. Highly recommended

This is good! It needs some drying out, but I have found most McClelland tobaccos do. It also does not have the usual McClelland odor. Odd. Nice rich flavor, I don't agree with the tin description. It is much better than Frog Morton. Throw the Frog Morton to the frogs! Try mixing this with some other stuff too. I used 3 parts 5110, 1 part Red Rapparee and 1 part Royal Yacht. I know it sounds unusual but it was good! One thing I forgot to mention... this is better in a large pipe. I smoke it in a large freehand that I bought in 1992. I'm not sure of the maker. I just know it is Italian, beautiful and extremely light for it's size. It has smoked great for all these years! I am bragging, but you should see this thing! You can see it.. NOT smoke it!!!

This is a great tobacco blend, if you let it age and dry out a bit. The VA's become a bit sweet and the Cavendish take on a a somewhat nutty flavor. It is a bit gooey at the bottom of the pipe but it is easily overlooked. If you add a bit of perique to the mixture it is very similar to FMOTB, kinda cool. It is a somewhat complex mixture but it is fairly mild in the flavoring which lends it self to an all day smoke.

This is a nice basic English mixture that may require minor drying out and aging. Mostly smoky Latakia in character, aging will supress some of the sweetness of the Virginia although I wonder if there is a hint of some additional topping in this blend. I don't find the spice that other reviewers have noted. There isn't much bite which allows all day use.

Weak from the start,A year in the jar has improved 5110 a great deal, what a difference a year makes.

Rich tobacco's with a full english flavour and style. Aroma is really nice with the latakia being quite forceful to the nose but not overpowering.

Lights well and smokes in a relaxing evening style way. Calming and enjoyable - to be smoked at a quiet time - just thoughts and a pipe to while away some quality time.

Never bites and burns clean to a white ashy finish always giving full satisfaction.

A winner and well recommened to all fans of a full english.

08/06/2004: This is one fine English. It is full flavored though and requires some self discipline for proper enjoyment. It can get a bit salty if smoked too fast. One of the best bulk English tobaccos on the market. Probably another stinker for the non-smokers out there!

11/17/2006 Update: No longer in my rotation. A good transition toward more complex pipe tobaccos. If you like the Frog Morton series, give this a try. Only sold in bulk.

Referred to by some as "bulk Frog Morton," I tried some 5110 today after having a bowl of FM yesterday. These McClelland blends are relatively similar, and 5110 is a quality bulk mild English (which I'm tempted to buy up, jar, and age for a while). While the two blends are similar, to my palate the 5110 smoked discernably sweeter (maybe a bit o' topping?) and a bit moister than the Frog Morton. Not identical, but not bad, particularly for the price.

When I have a taste for Latakia, this is my go-to blend. There is nothing extraordinary about this Englisy blend except the price. I would consider this a benchmark English blend.

This is the bulk version of Frog Morton, so I won?t repeat my Frog Morton review. I find the tinned version to be a little smoother, maybe just because it had enjoyed better conditions for aging. 5110 is worth a try as a good, economical alternative to Frog Morton. Another good alternative to the Frog is Benjamin Hartwell?s Chesdin mixture, which is closer to the tinned Frog in taste but generally a little less expensive (though more expensive than 5110).

This is good, if you like frog morton you will like this. I like frog morton and I like this, I dont smoke it all of the time but do enjoy it. Not much else to say about this that all of the other reviewers have not already mentioned.

Frog Morton's budget minded cousin Toad. Great stuff that burns well, lets you know there is latakia in it, has a slight aromatic smell that is quite acceptable by many women and best of all, I can smoke it all day.

Nice dark tobacco with that McClelland hint of ketchup. Everybody should at least try this one. Great price too.
