McClelland - Dark Star

Contents: Virginia
Cut: Flake
Strength: mild to medium
Flavoring: none detected
Taste: mild to medium
Recommendation: ***

The flakes come very moisty and hard to rub out. After trying to
dry them in different grades of humidity at last I've catched the
best. Almost totally dried and chopped a bit in a food processor
like Pipestud's method the tobacco packed very well and burned
easily. The very dark virginias offered a mild taste of sweetness
and spicy touches of a fine blend. Nicotine dosage seems to be
light at the beginning but usually satisfies my needs when smoked
in a medium capacity bowl.
I strongly do not recommend this tobacco to beginners. It is very
hard to pack and light so a beginner would leave his pipes away
because of it.
