McClelland No. 22
(3.25)
A balanced blend of Eastern and Middle belt Virginias aged in cakes to develop their natural sweetness. A zesty tobacco with rich undertones, coarse enough to smoke on windy days outdoors, but easily rubbed out to suit any occasion.

This is my first posted review. It is by no means my first tobacco, I just happen to be smoking it right now.
Virginia # 22 is typical of McClelland Virginias, full of red and dark stoved tobbaccos with small streaks of yellows.
The tin smell is that strange McClelland only aroma so often read of. But as time passes after the tin is opened, the zesty Virginia aroma shines through.
This tobacco, because of its flake cut, is ideal for a multipurpose tobacco. It is easily rubbed out for indoors smoking. It is equally up to the task of outdoor smoking.
The taste is one of spice and sweet. As I am a barbeque cook and cook alot outside with wood, I am most reminded of that aroma with this tobacco. Its taste is like the smell of good sauce on the coals, sweet yet tangy.
I recommend this for anyone who has a taste for the outdoors, spicy foods and honest Virginia

Rich, mellow and a bit tangy. Everything a pressed and aged a Virginia should be! A delight to the senses. This fine Virginia took the match well and I had only two re-lights. Delicious! I just found out McCkelland closed down.Thats what I get for living in the Antarctic most of the year. Glad I have several pounds of various McClelland tobaccos.Next thing you know, someone will tell me that the Doobie Brothers broke up.
