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.

This is a fine, very MILD English. For those who smoke a lot of this type may be underwhelmed. Its a grand way to introduce yourself, become accustomed to, or smoke an English all day.

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.

Will offer only that "Howie"s" review a few notches above does a great job of expressing my observations as well as his. Too much bother and annoyance for too little enjoyment, and way too many much better smokes out there. To me, #5110 is "so-so" at very best so I can give it a single star for trying.

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.

Being disabled I do not get out of the house much, but Saturday for some reason I was awake and asked my wife if she would drive to a couple of tobacco shops. The one I use the most asked me to try McClelland 5110 knowing I'm not a big fan Latakia and after I finished thaat bowl I'm still not. I know there are a lot of smokers who do enjoy the Latakia, but to me it was smoking ashes from an old burt log. It took me a couple of Alcohol and Salt cleanings and then useing a Pipe Sweetener to get the taste out of my pipe.
