McClelland No. M-58 Apricot Brandy

This tobacco's extremely enticing aroma is derived from the skillful blending of five tropical flavors with brandy. Ribbon-cut Black Cavendish is seasoned with high-grade, flue-cured Virginia and Kentucky Burley tobaccos for a rich, generously sweet flavor.

It took me a bit to strike the right cord with this one. I tend to smoke fairly fast and my experience with this tobacco initially was not too good. However, I did not give up on it and smoked it in various pipes and reduced my tempo. I found it responded very well with a low and slow method that allowed the nuance to remain steady. Once I found the sweet spot, this smoke drastically improved. It still required a few relights from time to time, but the experience and flavor was enjoyable. Definitely a finicky one for me. I have to treat it like a nic bomb or a tongue destroyer which is contrary to my regular smoking habits. Can't say I would recommend it, but I am not tossing it either. Unless you are looking for apricot, there's a lot more out there to expirement with.
