I've only been back to the pipe a few weeks and am still looking for my regular rotation of tobaccos. I can safely say that McClelland's bulk #5110 has filled a slot. Previous to coming back to pipe smoking I steered clear of heavy Latakia blends so I have been tremendously surprised by my new-found hunger for that species of weed. Upon opening the package I was overwhelmed by the intense smoky aroma. This blend is predominantly dark in color with the Latakia and stoved Virginias, with a pleasant amount of red and gold from the (my guess) Orientals or regular Virginias mixed in. The smoke is mild, with a pleasant sweet note. My only complaint (not really) is that the flavor is very mild, hence the reason I am going to try Penzance as soon as possible. It packs, lights and stays lit very well for me, and despite my tendency to puff I have not had a bit-tongue from it yet. I have not smoked regular FM, but have a tin of FM Across the Pond, and this is a much better tobacco to my taste. As mentioned I also have not yet tried Penzance, so I may not have found true Nirvana, but right now this inexpensive bulk blend is my go-to English.

06142006 I received 2 oz of this with an order of tobacco from Smokingpipes.com. The description above stated that this is very similar to Frog Morton, and one reviewer said it resembles FMOTT. If this is what those tinned tobaccos are like, then I think McClelland has found a way to make pipesters very happy. A tobacco as good as this at bulk prices? Thank You, McClelland. I found #5110 to be a very tasty offering. I let it air about 2 hours after opening the baggie, packed it in one of my favorite pipes, and fired up. A charring light, a tamp and another match and we were off to tobacco nirvana. #5110 is a very smooth, cool burning blend. I think I even saw my pipe smile once while I was smoking this delicious blend. I would recommend #5110 to any pipe smoker.
08222006 IMHO, this gets better every time I smoke it. After searching the internet and finding prices of $27.00 and up, I found a local B&M that sells it for just over $22.00. Needless to say, this will be taking top honors in my rotation and a big space in my tobacco cellar. Great stuff.

Yes, It's that good. Hard to believe considering it's a medium strength Latakia. An oxymoronic smooth bite.

I use this as a blending component for my own blend of tobacco and highly recommend it for that purpose.
