McClelland No. M-58 Apricot Brandy
(1.86)
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.

McClelland - No. M-58 Apricot Brandy.
I bought this about four months ago but the time sat in the loose pouch hasn't been enough to curtail the moisture. It was still damp to the touch so must have been as wet as a ducks bum when it arrived! As the photo shows the ribbons are quite coarse and there's a higher amount of black tobacco to brown. The smell from the pouch is indicative of apricots but not so clear about any alcohol.
The smoke contains more black Cavendish than it does the others. The Kentucky Burley gives some nuts but it doesn't have the fire cured Kentucky taste to it. The Virginia gets quite lost behind the topping. Now, the topping: it has more of an alcoholic trait than the unlit aroma suggested. But the apricots are far heavier than the alcohol, far heavier! The apricot flavouring will ghost badly. M-58 burns cool and at a slow pace.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: nice enough.
No. M-58 Apricot brandy? A pleasant aro' which deserves three stars:
Recommended.

If you like apricots, which I DO please give this a try. It's a fairly good aromatic. The flavor is not too generous. But it does give you what your looking for. No complaints from the peanut gallery when smoked around others. I will advise, the flavor will ghost if you mix up pipes. This is like a back road drive in the summer. Relax and enjoy whats going on.
