McClelland No. 25
(3.09)
A balanced mixture of our smoothest and most refined red and black aged Virginia cake tobaccos in a fully rubbed form. Ideal after dinner when a rich, satisfying flavor is most desired.

This tin had a bit of the McClelland ketchup aroma, but not overwhelming. The tobacco itself was a beautiful ribbon cut, perfect moisture, and easy to pack and light. I used a variety of briars and cobs, mostly the latter, but did not find a home for the tobacco.
Which is just as well. While not the worst tobacco I've smoked, I cannot say I enjoyed a single bowl of this harsh, flat blend. This is among the tiny number of tobaccos my wife has complained about the room note (counted on one hand with several fingers missing), and I was as glad as she when the tin was empty. I will not be buying this one again.
(1.75oz tin smoked over 19 days November/December.)

A cooly-burning Virginia that underwhelms me to the point of boredom. See the previous reviews for the typology.
