McClelland No. 5125 Coyote Classic Full
(3.04)
A rich, full Oriental mixture made for the American taste. This is a classic outdoor smoke for the woodsman or cowpoke. It is stout with lots of smoked Latakia and fragrant Turkish, with just enough natural sweet matured Virginia for interest and balance. Then, we age it under pressure for several months to develop a tobacco that will bring the smoker so much pleasure he'll howl like a coyote.

McClelland?s bulk No.5125 Coyote Classic Full is a rich Oriental blend with Latakia and matured Virginia added.
The pouch aroma of Coyote Classic is rich and rustic with a definite tangy/grassy characteristic and an outdoors woodsy dimension. A slightly pleasant aromatic sweetness can be noticed in the aroma. The aroma is full but not overbearing in any way. Coyote Classic is composed of Turkish, Latakia, and matured Virginia tobaccos. The color of this blend is mostly black with additions of red/brown and yellow/orange.
Coyote Classic Full has a short broken flake/ribbon cut which packs easily. This blend smokes well with a medium moisture content.
Coyote Classic lights readily and burns wonderfully with few if any relights. The burn progresses as a medium rate. The burn leaves the sides of the pipe bowl clean and yields a dark gray ash. Coyote Classic leaves no wetness in the bottom of the pipe bowl. The room note is not overbearing, as many full Oriental blends tend to be.
The flavor of Coyote Classic is both leathery and sweet which produces a barbeque-like taste. The flavor of the blend tends to center around the tanginess of the Turkish tobaccos than the Latakia. The sweetness present in the flavor is probably due to a slight topping that along with the fore mentioned sweetness, adds a smooth creamy dimension as well. Coyote Classic smokes quite cool and hardly any bite is present. Coyote Classic possesses no nicotine kick and a medium smoke is produced while smoking the blend.
McClelland?s Coyote Classic Full is an easy, inexpensive, and satisfying Oriental blend. These characteristics make Coyote Classic a great all day smoke.

Wow, this is one of the tobaccos I cut my teeth on and fell in love with it from the get go. I guess I can see why one who is used to more traditional English blends may find it a bit mild, but it is really one of the best latakia blends out there if you ask me.
Smokes dry, packs easy, stays lit and the latakia makes itself known straight from the match. I tasted Bladder Reserve about a week before tasting this. After trying 5125 I remember saying to myself "20.00 a pound! Forget Bladder Reserve..."
I have some in my cellar just waiting to see what it is like with some age on it.

A fair English blend. The "recipe" sounds perfect but something falls flat in the final product. Everything sort of just melds together and nothing stands out. That, and it'll take you an hour to pick out all the stems and stuff before you can fill a bowl...

#5125 Coyote Classic Full is a "classic"example of a blend being less than the sum of its parts. I am a great fan of latakia-laden blends, mind you, but this one does not do it for me.
I received a quarter of a pound of this blend as a "gift" along with a largish order for a well-known internet dealer. Now, a qp seems like a large qunatity to give gratis as a sampler. Afterv smoking a few blends, I can see why, however, as I cannnot imagine this product moving very well.
I found the blend to be bitter from one end of the bowl to the other. Maybe it is the large turkish component, I do not know. It also left a bitter eftertaste, and this was consistent over several bowls in different pipes, including a meer dedicated to balkan blends.
There are too many good balkan blends out there (including a few from McC.) that are so superior that I cannot see wasting smoking opportunities on Coyote Classic.

This tobacco really caught my interest as it has a rich and smokey pouch aroma. It also had hints of that signature McLelland smell (sweet/tangy). The cut was relatively course ribbon which was easy to pack and good for the outdoors. Good moisture content (higher than many but standard for McLelland).
While the flavor was reasonably good, it was not great. I think the tobacco lacks natural sweetness and is focused too much on the Latakia/Turkish component. The Latakia was of high quality, just too one-dimensional for me. So smokey it tasted like BBQ. I agree that this is sort of like a stong version of Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe. Strong in flavor that is, not nicotine.
I would try this if you are a fan of Turkish and Latakia. You VA lovers should look elsewhere.

Here's an Oriental that is a change of pace for Latakia lovers. I love the old-fashioned, rustic aroma of the tobacco in the pouch. This blend is full bodied, but very smooth. I would not categorize this tobacco as strong. It burns cool and somehow I find it to be of a lighter variety despite the fullness of the blend. The Latakia is complemented nicely by the matured Virginia and the flavorful Turkish. The taste is woodsy and leathery. I find it suitable as an all day smoke. I just discovered this and I will keep some around.

I purchased a re-branding of this from my local tobacconist under the name of "howl of the wolf." As a side, I love guessing what blends really are by the re-branded names. Anyway, one thing that put me off was the stems. There are quite a few of them, to the point where I asked myself "if I really cared what someone thought of my tobacco, wouldn't I present it a little better?" It takes me back to a statement I recently read in another reviewer that, "if its good enough to tin, it usually is." The taste in pretty monotone, and appears to be lacking something. Not really for me.

I could have saved myself a lot of trouble fussing with this tobacco if I'd just read Pipestud's review first for confirmation that this just-OK blend has an ineluctable rawness that I don't care for.
