McClelland Black Tie
(3.00)
A crossover tobacco for the individual looking for a rich, satisfying blend. Pleasing to both the nose and the palate. A mixture of rich red Virginia with bright, sweet Carolinas, stoved until black and the finest Louisiana perique. It's then seasoned with black cavendish to soften the blend. Each bowl is an elegant tropical evening's adventure to be savored with friends.
Notes: Released at the 2014 IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas, NV.

Only 2 reviews yet for a tobbacco which might change the world ? Huh ? What a miss ! Last year, shortly after its release, I bought a tin, mainly as of couriosity...and the "usual warm feeling" I usually get from tinned tobaccos out of Mc Clelland's stall... Frankly, the "tin art" was not necessarily part of the acquisition selction criteria... ooops... Last week I opened the tin, at last... Wow ! Smells like Mc Clelland, and "something else" with a "little bit of something extra"...
Impressive ! After many bowls now, and to cut a long story short, so far I almost never came across a tobacco which would trouble me providing a plausible review... VaPer, of course, McCl Vaper ! ...of course, and this Cavendish... and maybe this "something extra" ?... who knows... Simply overwhelming ! "Creamy, balsamic, fruity", with a hint of somehow resin alike ? ...which mango might deliver ? Almost impossible to find a plausible description... or ? Well... I could discover some elements which remind me to McCl's Royal Cajun series tobaccos, 'Special' in particular... OK, whatsoever, obviously I fail telling you that Black Tie is a fabulous tobacco !
"Restrictions": Firstly, hard puffers will miss any of this tobacco's magic. Secondly, DGT doesn't work properly with this tobac, but, who the heck wouldn't want to finish a bowl in one go ? Furthermore, just ignore the somewhat inattractive "tin art", and go to get it !
But, please, do me a favour and leave some tins left for me! Thanks in advance ! As of the inherent limitation to 4 stars, I can l give this wonderful blend 4 stars only!

What a tobacco! I loved the presentation of not only nicely aged Virginia (does McClelland's have any other kind?) but subtle nuances of Perique and all supplied with a Cavendish backbone that makes this one sing! Full of flavor and enough strength to keep me interested. This one certainly is Pipestud's "Piper's Choice).

A full bodied VaPer with the sweetness and tang I enjoyed throughout the smoke with a room note that is pleasant. Great as an all day smoke or as an occasional change of pace treat for when I'm looking for something a bit different. Flavor sustains and builds throughout the smoke.. Smokes well in both large and small bowls.
