McClelland No. 5110 Dark English Full

This is one great tobacco!!! Smooth...Smokey....A tobacco that is best smoked sitting down out side with your eyes closed and entering "The Smoking Zone"! This tobacco has been compared to Frog Morton and I tend to agree with that comparison. If it not Frog's unnamed brother it is definitely a secret relative of some other well known tinned tobacco!

Another winner from McClelland, quite similar to Boswells North Woods even Old Limey Bastard. Although not as sweet as North Woods yet sweeter than Old Limey.

Starts off creamy and sweet, which both remain throughout as the bowl combusts down. The Latakia arrives more evident about 1/3rd of the way down. I don't detect Orientals at all, which is fine since I throughly enjoy the other characteristics contained within.

Overall a very mellow, rich and sweet smoke; however, I would not call the experience 'full flavoured' rich yes but not full. I would say McClelland's P.M. Pipe is extra full in comparison. This is medium to full depending on which end of the day you prefer to combust.

Another great bulk blend to add to the cellar and highly recommended.

For my taste buds this is a real beauty. I love the flavor of sweet Latakia and that's basically what we have here. This pushes all the right buttons for me. This Stoved Virginia is superb and is the star of the show, in my opinion. My cellar just gained a few pounds of weight. Orientals? What Orientals? Couldn't taste them and don't care.

Mild to medium in body, very nearly just mild. Medium in wonderful sweet Latakia flavor. Burns great.

This an excellent smoke. Dark in color. Full and tasty with a heavenly sweet and sour taste. Even a hint of Bakers Chocolate. Not overly complex - but as Goldylocks said - "just right." At a bulk price - this blend is hard to beat! This is not Frog Morton which INHO isn't such a bad thing.

this has got to be the blend that i go to more frequently than any other. it's color is dark and the pouch aroma is wonderful. i find this blend to have just the right balance between the sweetness of the virginias and the spiciness of the orientals. since it is not cased the room note will not solicit very many compliments, but i have never had anyone tell me that it stinks either. my favorite time to smoke is early morning and boy does this go well with a good cup of coffee. not too complex but a little variation as it goes through the bowl, requires maybe a little more than normal by way of pipe cleaners passed during the course, very good for all day.

I think I have found my new all day smoke. After several pipes, I find this to be an extremely fulfilling smoke overall. It smokes down to a nice fine ash at the bottom of the pipe. It seems to be at the right moisture level for me. A woodsy type of smoke with not even a hint of tongue bite. I don't smell the usual McC catsup smell in this. It does remind me of Frog Morton, which to me is a very good thing. I most definitely will be procuring more of this fine weed.

This is another great blend from McClelland. I recently purchased a pound from smokingpipes.com, and I haven't had a day without it since I got my order. I like Latakia, and this blend has it. I have not had any problem with tongue bite and I can smoke it all day long and in every pipe I have. If you like to smoke English blends with a good amount of Latakia, I recommend trying this one, although it can be tough to find. I wish there were tins available, but you have to buy it in bulk. It is worth the trouble to find it.

11/15/20 update. This Blend just keeps better with age.

Purchased as McCranie's "St. Alban's Best",tyhis is without a doubt my favorite all-around blend. I am nearly addicted to the pouch smell, and can hardly walk by without picking it up. It has an enticing dark and smokey aroma in the pouch that strongly appeals to me.

Since the strength of taste is medium and nicotine is mild, this is a good all-day smoke, though at night I find it to be missing a certain I-don't-know-what, perhaps a little more latakia would make me happier.

There is little aftertaste (I think a plus) and it falls in the realm of "modern English" which is definitely not a bad thing. There is a slight but persistant creaminess or smoothness to this blend that lasts through the bowl, and any sweetness is more in aroma than taste and is ever-so-fleeting. This is no aromatic, nor is it a traditional English...this is a FANTASTIC blend that I think many people would enjoy if they gave it a chance; expecially a smoker who wants to branch out from aromatics only. I suppose I would label this a mild English...again, my favorite!

I only smoke outside, though my wife has commented on the aroma of this; once favorably, once not so...it is smokey and would probably be recognized as different from a sickly-sweet aromatic by even an unfamiliar nose, but I find the "room note" (back porch note?") to be just as inticing (if not intoxicating!) as the pouch smell. I've erred on the side of caution by indicating "tolerable to strong" in that category.

If a relatively mild, English variant, barely aromatic, smokey, rich satisfying smoke sounds appealing to you, by all means, give this a try.

When I hear the term " FULL ENGLISH", this is the tobacco that comes to my mind. This is not a smoke for new smokers. It is also not for smoking around women and children, they don't like the aroma. If you love the complexity of an English blend and the smokey, salty taste of Latakia and the nuances of best leaf Virginia and Orientals , then this is for you. I have smoked for over 40 years an this is what I smoke when I relax in the evening.
