McClelland No. X-90 American Cavendish Burley
(2.20)
A high grade standard, cavendish cut Kentucky burley, refined by heat seasoning along with a small amount of Virginia. It offers big, uncomplicated burley flavor, yet is soft and smooth. A versatile blending component, it is also an excellent, full-flavored smoke by itself.

The nutty, earthy, mildly woody, molasses sweet Kentucky burley also sports a touch of chocolate as the main component. The citrusy grassy Virginia is faintly noted. The strength is just past the center of mild to medium, and the taste is a step past that level. The nic-hit is a little more than mild. Won’t bite or get harsh, but does have a hint of roughness at times. It might need a moment or two of dry time, but it burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a very consistent flavor from top to bottom. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and needs just more than an average number of relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. Can be an all day smoke, and is a good burley blend to use as a mixer.

McClelland - No. X90 American Cavendish Burley.
I can't see any twigs or clumps in my pouch, it's a blend made of medium size, medium brown, ribbons. There's a minor sweetness to the unlit aroma. The moisture's good.
If I'm honest any Virginia flavour eludes me completely, the smoke to me tastes simple: sweet, nutty, rustic, Burley. I'd be inclined to say a very mild, sweet, topping's been used: caramel or honey maybe? X90 gives a cool smoke but can burn a bit fast. I get no tongue bite.
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: pleasant.
X90? I quite like it as a change of pace. Recommended:
Three stars.
