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.

McClelland - No. 705 Walnut Liqueur.
The Virginia/brown Cavendish has been cut much finer than the black Cavendish. And, comparatively, there's far less black Cavendish, than brown Virginia/Cavendish. The pouch has quite a pungent aromatic smell, and the moisture's bang-on.
As expected, it's a well flavoured aromatic. At the start of a bowl the brandy's the leading flavour, having alcoholic sharpness and a wine like sweetness. After five or so minutes the walnut flavour comes through and transforms this from a brandy aromatic into the prescribed walnut liqueur blend. Of the tobaccos the black Cavendish gives the least flavour, the main tobacco taste is a honey-Virginia one. My biggest problem with this is the heat from it: way too much.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant.
I think this is a steadfast two star blend:
Somewhat recommended.

Nothing special, that's all I would say if this program didn't insist upon twenty five words minimum. The tobacco is more appealing smoked outdoors than in according to my audience here at home.

This blend is rather in your face strong in the flavor department. It is not surprising given what other 700-800 bulk blends taste like. There is a lot of walnut flavoring, but it is a bit on the bitter side. I also think that the tobacco is a bit on the wet side. The flavor is fairly accurate to what a walnut tastes like, but it is the vague taste of burly that keeps this blend from being a total loss. I did enjoy this blend after taking it a notch down and blending it 50/50 with straight burly. At that point it is tolerable and actually rather enjoyable.

I've had some McClelland Walnut Liqueur sitting around for some time in a bag. Can't say how many bowls of it I've had-- not many, probably.
Lots of humectant. It's about as wet as when I bought it at least a year ago and will never dry out much, I fear. Little tobacco taste initially, but there is an interesting walnut flavor that is pretty unique. Slightly bitter, like the thin, dry skin on a an English walnut half rather than the sweeter nut meat inside. Not unpleasant though, and it gets more interesting as the bowl burns down and a little Burley appears. The end of the bowl tastes mostly of Burley.
If you're the sort to like flavored coffees and tobaccos, you might want to try this. It's the only walnut flavored blend I can think of and is more interesting than most of the other 700 and 800 series McClelland aromatic bulk blends in my opinion.
