McClelland No. M-55 Georgia Cream
(2.63)
This flavor has delighted American palates as far back as the Revolution. The basic combination of orchard fruit (chiefly peach), nut and honey can be found in the desserts known to have delighted Presidents Jefferson and Madison. A delicate balance has been achieved here. There is the real tobacco taste of the fine Virginias and Burleys and Black Cavendish, but then there is the hint of sweetness and the faint aroma of some fine confection.

There's not much tobacco taste from the black cavendish. Same goes for the burley and Virginia, though I get a slight nuttiness and grass from them respectively. The peach flavor tastes artificial and a little syrupy, and dominates. Has little nicotine. Burns at a moderate pace and fairly cool with no bite, and not much moisture in the bowl. Needs an average number of relights. Not quite an all day smoke. Not really a one star blend, but I can't recommend it because there are better peach flavored blends on the market, and they have fewer drawbacks than this one.

The peach note is present throughout the smoke. However, what I get doesn't really resemble peach or at least a pleasant peach flavor. It simply may not match up to my palate -. I don't find it enjoyable. Smokes smooth, burns nicely to the end. It is consistent. No real tobacco nuances just the constant undesirable flavor note.

If you like the Yankee candle equivalent you might like to smoke this too. It is very peachy in smell and very waxy in taste, it would be nice to smoke if the casing did not leave my teeth feeling like I ate a candle.

I very much wanted to like this tobacco. Sweet, succulent, juicy peaches, does anything taste or smell better? I like peaches. However, the tobacco itself was so very mild and the casing so discreet that it was difficult to taste or smell either the tobacco or the peach. They were virtually indiscernible. I could detect a delicate peach aroma in the smoke. That was not enough. Too bad. The enjoyment was all in the anticipation. I will not be buying this again. Now, what do I do with the remainder?
