McClelland No. M-34 Carnival
(2.50)
Think of the aromas of candied apples, fresh popcorn and rich creamy ice cream all rolled togehter the way they were at the carnival when you were a youngster. Then smell this light Tennessee burley. This pleasantly aromatic, easy packing, cavendish-cut tobacco makes a delightful, relaxing smoke.

I was crushed to find out my favorite blender was shutting the doors to their business. I must not of been alone, as I witnessed all of their discontinued products skyrocket in price on eBay. Panicked, I bought what was left of the bulk blends I've yet to try, from P&C.
Buttered popcorn?! Now this I'd like to see. I once tried a popcorn flavored jelly bean, so anything 'is' possible. I suppose with some imagination I was able to smell the popcorn inside. I certainly could smell some funnel cake, and... those can be sold at a carnival. Otherwise the bag just had that general sweet flavoring that you can find in a ton of chocolate/vanilla aromatics.
The cut was annoying light and spongy, where you needed handfuls of the stuff to pack down into a single bowl. It ignites well, but if overpacked draws no air, and underpacking causes the contents to lift up midway and burn super quickly. Suffice to say, not a fan of the cut.
The flavor stayed sorta sweet once going and had a bit of an acrid bite. It was light enough to be an all day smoker, but it was too dull for me to care.
The tobacco felt cheaper than I've come to expect from McClelland and was ultimately just a delivery mechanism for an OK flavoring.
