McClelland No. 820 Amaretto Amore
(2.00)
The amaretto flavor of this delightfully aromatic Virginia-black cavendish blend fills the mouth with pleasure as does its liqueur counterpart. Why Amore? Because you will "love" the way this tobacco holds its flavor all the way down the bowl.

McClelland - No. 820 Amaretto Amore.
There's a little more black Cavendish than Virginia and the Cav' has been cut far coarser than the shag-like Virginia. The pouch-note makes the alcohol easily accessible, albeit, I note more of the amaretto's sour alcohol than nuts.
For the initial part of a bowl the amaretto behaves in the same way: the alcoholic trait beats the nutty one from it. Luckily, once the burn's settled the alcohol decreases in strength. As well as the amaretto a sweetness comes to the fore after a quarter bowl: maybe caramel. The tobacco flavour isn't too heavy, the larger quantity of Virginia offsets some of the black Cav's stickiness. The burn couldn't be any cooler and is reliable from first light.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant but heavy.
The first few puffs only warrant two stars but once the burn's settled it sits comfortably at three stars:
Recommended.
