McClelland Frog Morton on the Town

Very good blend of Froggy here. This one is similar to F.M.O.T.B. but without the spiciness and a bit more depth and complexity. You get the usual F.M. sweetness and flavor, but with a more balanced flavor.

Oh, wow! Had heard great things about the Frog range and this is my first crack at them. Noted what people have referred to as the 'ketchup' scent to the tin note but this did not carry over to the smoke.

Smooth, tasty, dry and cool. This is quite possibly one of the best tobaccos I've ever tried. Went down a treat even though the wife certainly didn't approve of the smell on me afterwards. Typical of Latakia blends though. My new neat friend is a frog.

This is one of the best blends from MCelland. I just love it and it has my favorite blend to smoke. On The Town was my choice over the other Frog blends for it's great taste and well balanced blend of Viginian, Turkish and Latakia tobaccos. I only smoke in the evenings and there is nothing like On the Town infront of the fireplace!

This is an unusual tobacco; I've never had anything that quite matches it. I hesitate to call it an aromatic. It's a sweet, caramel-y blend, but unlike any aromatics I've had, there is no artificiality to the taste; the aroma seems totally natural. Room note smells pleasantly of sweet tobacco.

All in all, this is one of my favorite tobaccos. It's not an everyday smoke for me, and never a working smoke. It's perfect for a relaxed weekend evening. I like to pair it with a Benedictine & brandy, or a cup of high mountain oolong.

Simply wonderful. It's smooth and tasty wonderful from the first puff to the last. If I only got to smoke one blend the rest of my life, I think this would be it.

If I was an all day smoker, this would be the one. Upon opening you are greeted with an aroma you can taste. Burns to the bottom and stays lit. Taste is perfect. Nothing overwhelming and not some sticky aromatic. This is the one to try.

At this point in time this has become my blend of choice for everyday, anytime smoking pleasure. The tin aroma is very pleasant even including the odd ketchupy smell that I have grown to love from McClelland blends.

The cut is perfect in my opinion and lights and burns well all the way through the bowl. This is not a heavy blend by any means, but it is not meant to be. Somehow it manages to stay extremely smooth and mellow, but still is complex and tasty enough to keep me happy and interested throughout the entire bowl. The orientals lend this blend depth, the latakia body, and there is a very pleasant, but not overpowering sweetness as well. I also love that this blend has a pleasant room note while still smelling like good old tobacco.

I am a huge fan of this blend as an all day smoke and as a "warm up" blend in the evening before I move on to heavier, more robust blends. Highly recommended.

Wonderfully light, sweet, and mellow.My better half doesn't object when I light up/ Normally she slams the door. I would recommend this to the neophyte as well as the seasoned smoker. You on't be disappointed. Enjoy!

This stuff was the firstLatakia blend that made me fall in love with Latakia. This 8 years later is still wonderful. Slightly sweet from Virginia tobaccos and a sweet Latakia flavor throughout. No flavoring, such as fruit etc, is present , but it is sweet- maybe from sugar added during processing, but not "casing". Every time I open a tin (currently smoking a 4 year old tin) it is still a welcome friend. If you are only interested in an oriental forward Balkan, it probably won't satisfy, but if a wonderful McClelland Virginia based blend sound good, I believe you'll be happy!

Merry Christmas. Top honors to FMATT!
