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 found this to be a very nice burley with a smidgeon of peaches. It smokes quite cool and provides a simple yet tasty experience. This is a great smoke during the hotter summer months and the peach topping actually tastes like peaches, with no chemical aftertaste. Next time you are looking for something light and easy- give it a try.

This is a nice smoke. Not cloyingly sweet or overly flavored. Smoked a little warm but nice. No real bite unless you hoovered it. The room note was quite nice. Every now and then a little peach flavor would come out to play, and other times it had a creamy tobacco taste. While not my favorite, it's better than I expected it to be. Worth a try for sure.

McClelland - No. M-55 Georgia Cream.
The Burley's nowhere near as coarse as the black Cavendish, that's really chunky, but the brown pieces are like your usual ribbons. The pouch has a strong aromatic smell, when I opened it I couldn't recollect what type of blend it was, but the smell soon clarified that issue! It's a touch too moist, not nastily so, but it's in need of a short airing.
I'm not normally a fan of peachy blends, but I quite like the taste of this. I get an easy to identify peachy taste, and also some sticky honey. The black Cavendish is the stronger of the tobaccos, giving the mix a creaminess. As well as these, I notice a slight coconut flavour, and I enjoy this. A bowl of #55 burns cool and steady, leaving a grey ash. If I'm not careful it can give me a bit of a bite, so I go steady.
The room-note's nice and the nicotine's very mild.
If it weren't for the bite I'd highly recommend this, but that reduces the score slightly.
Recommended.

By far not the worst. By far not the best. It's good, eh good. I smoke this on occasion in a Kaywoodie super grain. It's pleasant and a good way to break free from the norm. Very nice on a warm evening, but not filling enough for a cold Western Pennsylvania night. The room note will please anyone with a nose though. Taste is just missing a little something something!
