McClelland Oriental Mixture No. 6
(2.74)
A balanced, old style medium mixture, its robust flavor due to liberal use of Middle and Eastern Belt Orange Virginias. This invigorating all day or outdoor tobacco is both satisfying and refreshing.

The dominant leaf here is Virginia. It is very fragrant and middle of the road in strength in flavor. The Orientals really come to the forefront with this blend and the pot is sweetened by its presence. The Latakia is a background player, and typically top-shelf as all McClelland's Latakia tobacco seems to be.

I tend to shy away from oriental blends. This one I like very much because it seems to break the mold when one contemplates orientals.
The tangy sweetness of the orientals tantalizes my taste buds.The Virginias add a note of sweetness, The other tobaccos, and yes, there is some Latakia, make this a distinct and complex blend.
Like many truly complex blends, A clean pipe and a slow uncluttered moment provides the ideal setting to savor this fine blend. Smoke this blend slowly, and all of the fine complexity will dance across one's palette in the most delightful manner. Try it. You will like it.

I love this tobacco. To me it tastes sweet and complex. It smokes dry and slow for me inside and out. Stays lit very well. Its one of my favorites.

I really enjoy this blend, although not as much as oriental #8, it still warrrants 4 stars especially in in terms of its' smokeability. Many other ¨good¨ tobaccos don´t hold up in this department in the long run, especially esoteric (the word, not the company) offerings. As the tin description states, #6 both invigorates and relaxes. I find Mcclelland virginas to smoke particularly cleanly and do not tire me out or give me that bogged down feeling after I smoke them as do many other tobaccos. This is a down side of pipe smoking for me, which #6 does not produce.
I just popped a can which is over 10 years old and have been enjoying the tangy fruitiness of the orange virginias and beautifully melded condiment tobaccos. When I puff this very slowly the complex flavor nuances are revealed to my palate in a way that is delightful. It really opens up with slow, delicate puffing.
Not unlike a good cigar, this stuff has tons of flavor that is delivered to the palate with each sip. It tastes nothing like a cigar, but in terms of quantity of cool flavor delivery, an area where cigars normally surpass pipes, there is a similarity.
