Contrary to some of the reviews here, I have found this tobacco to be very nice. When I'm in the mood for an aromatic I reach for this blend. It's nothing extraordinary, but that's what I like about it. It's a reliable blend, pleasant flavor, easy to smoke. The smell in the can is more than pleasant, everyone loves it.
Not to mention that my last name is Butera, so I find it quite nostalgic 🙂

With more than 20 years of aging in the tin, this tobacco was still moist upon popping the lid. Exceptional deep and rich flavor from the Virginia leaf combined with a totally saturated and pleasant casing made this an aromatic to enjoy!
I will say that if you know an aromatic fan, give him a tin of this and you will have a friend for life! It smokes cool for an aromatic, and the tobacco will no doubt remain moist for eons.

I enjoy a quality aromatic now and then, and this McClelland blend does not disappoint.
I gave it about 1/2 hour dry time at 70f/42% humidity. There's a nice sweetness on the front end, with some sweet grassy Virginia on the finish. The topping does sublimate the tobaccos in the first half of the bowl, but it's not overpowering, and it's well done, similar to a European aro.
I get a chocolate, vanilla, cherry flavor from the topping which I enjoy. Not quite as pronounced as Cult Blood Red Moon. And it also has a similarity to Sillem's Copenhagen, without the Amaretto flavor.
At the halfway mark the Virginia becomes more prominent. It has a lightly grassy, sweet, biscuit character of a bright Virginia. The topping sort of morphs into more of a caramel flavor.
Average relights, a little dampness in the bowl. I'm sipping Bourbon while I smoke this and it's a great combo.
Obviously this has been out of production for several years, but I bought a bunch of tins on a sale back then.
To recap, It's an Aromatic... with some age on it, it gets better as you smoke down the bowl.
