McClelland introduced their Blakeney's Best line at the 21st CORPS (Conclave of Richmond Pipe Smokers) Pipe Show in Richmond, Virginia. The 50g tin was released to the public in late 2005.
At this rate i won't have to buy any tobacco in Australia. [ Take that nanny state and "The Man" ]
Just smoked my first bowl in my Peterson Bulldog nice smokey flavor and a fair dose of nicotine i like it.
Its the Latakia flavor i like.
The same flavor is in the Black Mallory's it has Latakia in it as well.
I am learning little by little about tobacco as i smoke different blends o what fun.

The more bowls i have the more i like it had 4 so far.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason it's super relaxing makes me want a nanna nap.
Makes a perfect bed time smoke.
Smoking in my falcon is ok a little hot.
But in my Peterson Bulldog it's perfect
so much cooler and the flavor is better.
As time goes on and i get to know my pipes better i'm
starting to notice the smoking differences between them.
I'll bet that's some good smoking flake. I've never had a latakia flake before so I rekkin I'll have to change that some day.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Chuck yea get some i this a lot.
DeleteSo far i have smoked it in 3 different pipes 3 different flavors.
Man you weren't kidding about the crystals! Have you tried chewing any of the tobacco (only a little bit) and then smoking it. Sometimes I do this with a new baccy as hat you taste through chewing is then easier to identify in the smoke. Gives your brain a 'preview' so to speak, particularly for those subtle flavours.
ReplyDeleteYea well the can is dated 2005 so its well aged and covered in crystals.
DeleteIt really is a good tobacco full of flavors very happy with this one.
As far as chewing goes if i find a stem i all ways chew it.
But i will chew a little tonight and see what happens.
I have see how to make chew on the tube wow.
Molasses reduced apple juice lots of salt and pipe tobacco all stirred into a sticky mass.
And stuffed in by the hand full yuck.
