McClelland No. 705 Walnut Liqueur
(2.33)
This beautiful, mild Virginia Cavendish is a complex and balanced blend of lemon and orange Carolinas and Virginia tobaccos of different styles with a small amount of high grade Brazilian lemon added for a touch of zest. McClelland's special black Cavendish enriches it just enough. The English walnut and brandy fragrance adds just the right touch to this fine all-day smoke.

Remember the last time you broke in a new pipe with a naked bowl? You had to smoke it down to the bottom to begin caking it from the bottom up. Remember the taste of wood? That is exactly what this blend reminds me of. Their Special Black is the same, but worse. Liqueur? I didn't taste any. Nuts? I suppose, if nuts are like wood. The more you smoke it the worse it gets.With all the wonderful aromatics out there I can't imagine anyone trying them all, or many of them, and settling on this. But anything is possible. I even know a guy who married my first wife. Maybe he smokes this blend.

The scent of this one is all round fairly strong, but not all that true to walnut. I felt that the brandy was a stronger influence to the overall flavour profile, which itself seems to lack something, caramelized sugars are sorely missed in this aromatic. Its a very earthy profile that requires no preparation to achieve, as this blend seems intent on offering little to the smoker. Room note is quite earthy, with only mild hinting towards walnut or brandy.
This tobacco left such a disappointment in my mind, to the point of nearly forgetting to catalogue its original purchase. I love a good cavendish, but this one is a bit of a flop.
Overall, i wont be purchasing this again as over time i have become less and less fond of it, but nevertheless, a good beginners smoke.
Happy piping

No nicotine, tongue bite, or gurgle. Slightly damp and required relighting even at four months old. This despite the fact that I was using a Zippo, which usually gets a bowl well lit and reduces the need for relights. Like other reviewers have noted, the taste is of the bitter skin on the walnut meat. I would not buy again.
