A little bite to it. Does not resemble any Frog Morten imho.

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.
