McClelland Master Penman
(3.33)
With this mellow aromatic blend we honor Master Penman Michael Sull whose incredibly beautiful Spencerian penmanship is internationally recognized and can be seen on many pipe club presentations. His preference for soft, fragrant blends is the inspiration for this elegant pecan-flavored pipe tobacco. We hope it will enable you, in Mike's words, "to achieve the highest degree of pleasure and blow the perfect smoke ring."

It's probably important to note that I've only been smoking "seriously" for 6'ish months. Thus far, so you see where I'm coming from, my favorite tobacco had been Escudo. That said... I opened the tin and wasn't very excited. I'm not sure why but it didn't appeal so I put it aside with the other dozen open tins which I wasn't excited about. After a couple weeks I returned and decided to give it a shot. The scent didn't excite me, but upon lighting a full packed bowl and lighting it, the smoke hit my nose and it was love at first scent. It reminded me of the burnt sugar on top of creme brûlée. The taste, to me, was pure Carmel and bread pudding. It burned perfectly, no relighting needed. It's a mild aromatic and not like poupurri like taste of others I've tried. It's really good tobacco with a really great taste To say I loved it is putting it mildly. The fact I've bothered to write my first review says something. Also, the fact I've smoked through two tins in four days says something. I've ordered a dozen more to try aging some. This is BY FAR my favorite aromatic. It's new so I've not read much about it but I'm very curious as to whether it's just me.

I love this blend. It's a new favourite. Smells like a delicious dessert when you open the tin. Like a fruitcake or something that I'd actually want to eat.
Smokes down to the bottom of the bowl without relighting, with good taste throughout the smoke. Not too much of a harsh chemical taste.
Room note is very pleasant and easily passes the wife test. Definitely a blend I'll want to keep in rotation, as long as I'm able to find it.

One of my favourite blends. Great after dinner or when you want a sweet smoke. Very mild taste, room note and the pecan, vanilla and cinnamon flavouring is just right. Non-smokers say they like the smell and no complaints when smoking outside. Give this one a go if you like aromatics.
