McClelland No. 800 Black and Lemon
(3.22)
This medium mixture is unusual for an aromatic tobacco. McClelland has purposefully declined to use a top note so that the natural subtleties would not be covered up; therefore, the pouch aroma is delicate, reflecting only the rich vanilla and caramel flavors aged into the leaf using McClelland's heat-seasoning process. Black Cavendish and lemon Virginias...and a burning aroma that is beautiful and light.

McClelland - No. 800 Black and Lemon.
I'm always a touch perplexed when the description reads Aromatic but lists no added flavours. Hey-ho!
Any hoo, the Virginia's cut finer than the black Cavendish, and accounts for more of the blend. This has been cellared for a few months and due to the loose packaging has achieved good hydration.
There's enough flavour for this to quantify as an aromatic. Citrus comes over stronger for the first part of the smoke, subsiding slightly after a quarter to make way for some caramel sweetness. I taste some vanilla but this isn't as potent as the citrus and caramel. If this was still in production, if(!), an apt name McClelland could change it to would be Sharp & Sweet. A bowl burns nicely, producing a bite free smoke.
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: pleasant.

This well-balanced mixture is straight forward and very pleasant. The room note is wonderful. It serves as my "aromatic", without the gunk and goopy properties of most aromatics. It is inexpensive and a good choice for an all-day smoke.
