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.

I was gifted a sample of this some time ago and forgot I had it until I happened upon it last week. I thought to myself then that it wasn't so surprising that I stuffed it at the back of my cellar. I recalled it tasting somewhat of peaches and that it wasn't too good. A couple of bowls later confirmed my suspicions.
Good news first. This isn't your average sloppy wet aromatic that you burn your tongue on searching for flavor. It's fairly dry and the flavor stays almost throughout the bowl. And the room aroma is very nice indeed.
Unfortunately, the taste that stays with you? It's not so good. There's a peach essence in there but it's very artificial and "dirty" tasting for lack of a better word. I think the word "waxy" that a previous reviewer used works well here. Recommended for those who simply like a nice room note.

This is one of the tobacco blends that I smoked when I first started smoking pipes. It smokes very cool, has little or no bite and smells like peach air freshner. This is a very lite aromatic. I would not smoke this now because of my change of tastes but would possibly recommend this to a very beginning pipe smoker for its cool smoking properties and lack of bite. This has a very lite flavor(not in the topping or casing sense) and almost no natural tobacco flavor. Having said this, there are many other lite aromatics out there that would also be a good choice for a beginner if they are wanting to try aromatic blends. I would give this the lowest rating but thought that its redeeming qualities may prove advantageous to the beginer.

A mild aromatic, but not for everyone. It contains almost no tobacco flavor and the cream taste comes across as artificial or chemical. Room note very pleasant, but taste is too mild for me.

The Peach flavor in this smoke is strongly present throughout the smoke. However, the full gamut of flavor reminded me more of old oranges than peach. The flavor remained steady throughout the smoke with very little bite. Burned steady with moderate smoke. This one may be enjoyed by beginners as it is very fruity. Just to fruity for my tastes.

This tobacco is mild...real mild. Not flat but very mild. Its taste is quite pleasant as is its aroma. It's best not to pack it too tightly, as another reviewer pointed out, because it can be made to bite. But it's a very gentle smoke and won't bite unless provoked.
But there is nothing about this tobaccom that really steps forward and demands to be noticed. It's certainly not offensive but it is very easily ignored and then forgottem. I still have some around, and probably will have it around for aome time to come. I won't throw it out because there's really nothing at all unpleasant about it. But when I want tobacco - that is, Want tobacco (whatever the type) - there's always something else I want more than I want this.
