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.

I don't understand the low ratings for this one and I'm not sure what the last reviewer was smoking, but it could not have been this blend.. This is a blend that really has excellent Virginia sweetness coming through. It does have a very slight aromatic involved. In this tobacco the aromatic just seems like part of the true Virginia sweetness and doesn't come off tasting foreign. Lights easy, stays lit, and the blend just billows with true tangy,tangy virginia goodness. Outstanding again McClelland!
Update: I forgot to mention that this has a very nice nicotene hit. Perks me up like a cup of coffee.

Update after about going through a pund of this blend. I realized I do truley like it. The Virginia is there up front the Black cavendish is in the background. The Black give it the aroma while mixing with the Virginia therre is an almost faint citrus zest and somtimes a carmel toast flavor . The room note is a bit harsh better for the outdoors. Great summer smoke. The nicotine Med - High level which comes along along with the red virginia. A good old fashion tobacco. Good for the virginia lover looking for a little more aroma and taste. Comes in bulk at a good price. Easy to light not to much goop at the end of the bowl. The flavor of the Cavedish and the black is that of citrus & Carmel but very sublime. A smoke good any time. Friend: If you tobacco has the taste ash your pipe is dirty. CLEAN IT
If it is a cob and it taste lke ash toss it out and buy another for $2.99 Pipe Lesson 101 LOL

What a fantastic mixture. This has a wonderful tobacco/lemon note and lights easy. The flavor is a cornucopia of different taste. The overall taste to me is sweet Virginias, smoky lemon, a bit of sweet vinegar even some nutty flavors. This is a very delightful smoke that continues to entertain your palate throughout the bowl. Will bite just a bit if puffed to fast and room note is not super strong but again pleasant. This is actually a fun blend to smoke because I find you really never know what taste you will get next. I am unsure of the negative reviews but I guess everyone's palate is different. I smoked this right from the baggie so even fresh it was really pretty good.

McClelland is my go to brand for aromatics and No. 800 is one of the best I've tried. The lemon Virginias are very citrusy and easy on the tongue. The black cavendish is toasty with vanilla and caramel. The finish is very short which is why I gravitate to McClellands aros; it doesn't overwhelm the palate and doesn't get boring. Mild strength, wonderful room note, and bite free.
