McCranie's New Bedford
(2.60)
A blend of light matured Virginias that is transformed through pressure, aging and light stoving into a beautifully dark navy flake. Rich and rewarding without being as strong or stout as traditional dark flakes.

I believe this blend is McC. #2035 (Dark Navy Flake). I haven't smoked this for some time, but I remember thinking when I did smoke it that it was an OK blend and being bulk may have a price advantage for the cost-conscious folks who like this sort of tobacco. Knowing which blends are sold as whatever elsewhere gives one the option to shop around. The description I have states this is made up of Eastern Belt lemon, leaf and cutter grade tobaccos and processed as stated above. See McClellands #2035 bulk page for more reviews.

I am not nearly as enthusiastic about this McCranie's offering as my esteemed colleague above. Smoking it was like going to an action movie and not finding much action.
It looked rich, but in this case, looks were deceiving. A mild Virginia flake, for sure. Dry it a bit before smoking as this one arrives moist. Comperable to Mac Baren's Navy Flake with less punch and more sweetness.
