McClelland Virginia Woods

This is a nice smoke. I could see me buying more of it for the winter. I kind of taste the ketchup steak sauce taste lightly in the first half of the bowl. only get the slightest woods aroma every once in while. i have changed this from 3 to 4 stars. i have grown to really appreciate virginia woods

Virginia woods … Yet another fantastic Va. Smoke from McClelland, the likes of which few others seem to be able to match. No anise, harshness or soap here, just smooth, satisfying slightly sweet Virginias. One of my all time favorites. Four stars for sure.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. It seems to occupy an area between a really nice aromatic and a high quality VA. It displays qualities of both but neither overpowers the other. Pleasantly balanced. I think I will buy some to lay down for a few years to see how it changes.

I have a 2007 tin that had been opened a month. Let some dry out on a napkin for 3 hours. This is very tasty stuff. I loved this. Very good smell, lots of smoke, totally dry, no gurgles, no ash left in bowl. What a clean smoke ! This just vaulted into my top 3 favorites.

McClelland do it again...This is very good stuff...I ve smoked with my Porsche Design pipe then use several different pipes...I like this blend...

Ketchup is always around (not like blackwoods)...Moisture perfect for me...Easy to pack and lit...

Creamy taste and cool smoke...No bite ofcourse...Nicotine level is low...Smoke slowly and feel light Virginia sweetness...

If you like matured Virginias and other of McClelland?s matured VA blends, you will probably enjoy Virginia Woods. This is a nice mild to medium smoke that is sweet and flavorful in the classic VA sense. It has excellent burning qualities although you may want to air it out a bit. I experienced no bite. In short, I found Virginia Woods to be an ?easy smoke? that will satisfy without having to give it undue attention. I especially enjoyed it when DGT?ed overnight.

A cigarette is to be smoked. A cigar is to be enjoyed. A pipe is to be savored.

I rate this tobacco 9.5 out of 10.

A really good virdinia tobacco .I buy a tin of this every time I put a tobacco order in .A wonderfull aroma in the tin and a nice looking quality tobacco .It lites and stays lit with ease A rich natuaral flavour with no bite ,this is a tobacco I can smoke all day and never tire of

Bit of a sad review to type; my two ounces or so in a jar is the last of my McClelland Virginias. I have some Nording Fox Hound and some Oriental Mixtures left. Put off reviewing it, and finally decided I don't have too much to say. Different cut than those broken flakes, McClelland "vinegar" is there, but less so, and there may be a slight, mild topping. It's great, anyway, and enough has been said by others. I will miss McClelland Virginias when this is gone.

All for now, but I'm sure I will update with random thoughts as I finish my sad last jar, like how the bowl I'm smoking right now as I type is giving me wonderful, complex sweetness even from tiny sips on the dregs...
