Even as a "starter" tobacco, there is absolutely nothing outstanding or original in this tobacco. I like McClelland VA's. We have so many examples of their red VA already. I'm just not really sure that anything new was really "developed". Seems like they may have changed the casing a bit, and repackaged it. I can't see any blender really using this, other than perhaps those wanting to experiment with a "home brew", but for that I'd simply pick a good VA from either McClelland, or PS. The point is that several reputable blenders already use "starter" VA's from McClelland and PS. But I can't say I've ever heard anyone call the base or "predominate" a "starter". Apologies to McClelland, I'm a big fan, but this one is just pointless IMO.
