McClelland Virginia Woods
(3.00)
Formulated for a smooth, rich flavor with an incomparable woodsy aroma. Blended from finest matured red cake, stoved black Virginia, wide-cut bright Virginia and other premium tobaccos. Virginia Woods offers one of the ultimate experiences in fragrant matured Virginia blend smoking.
Notes: Community note: There is some debate about whether this blend is an aromatic or Virginia (straight or otherwise) offering. There is definitely a noticeable top-note, and the blender admits such. Most reviewers find the fragrance and taste obvious, so classification as an aromatic may make sense.

I realize there's not much point reviewing this tobacco for anyone who doesn't have it cellared. That said, I recently opened a 1999 tin of this and it was lovely. Mostly medium dark to dark ribbons with maybe twenty percent lighter content. Plenty of natural Virginia sweetness and warm spice notes with a touch of floral in the nose. Perhaps a hint of soapiness, but pleasant soapiness. If there is in fact a topping here, I'm not noticing it. Thick, billowy cool smoke as well. I certainly am sad McLelland is gone - I find their tobaccos, particularly the virginias, were great for long-term cellaring.

A spicey blend, with a sour taste, quite particular. Maybe too sour for my own preferences, but a nice smoking all the way. I would rate it 2 and a half stars..
