McClelland Blue Mountain Pipe Tobacco (50g tin)

Nice latakia blend, plenty moist. Recommend.

I was so surprised how mild it was.This is one of the tobaccos that i would definitely reorder.

I smoked Balkin Sobranie during the 50's and 60's before it was taken off the market. (The current reissue under that title is not worth the price.) Blue Mountain is reminiscent, but lacks some of the intense latakia elements I remember. I assume that this is in part because Syrian latikia is not available and the substitutes just don't have its ambiance.Therefore most efforts will fall short. BM is an enjoyable smoke, but my vintage pipes dont explode with the Sobranie experience. So sad.

Love this stuff, soon to buy more, the flavor always causes me to imagine looking out through misty woods over the mountains. Definitely one to try!

Wow this stuff is amazing! I will defiantly keep this in my rotation.

This Blue Mountain is along the lines of McClelland's A.M., Boswell's Countryside, Frog Morton and Ruins of Isengard. If you like any of those this tobacco should be a welcomed addition. A creamy, smokey, tasty latakia with a slight touch of sweetness.

I am a cigar smoker who has ventured into pipes.This is my second pipe tobacco and was a vast improvement from ashtons winding road.Very meaty,smokey.Almost a smoked sausage thing going.I enjoyed it,but not sure that it's my cup of tea.Very distinct tobacco.

Blue Mountain has become my go to blend, the one I smoke most often. I think it has a perfect Latakia Oriental mix that is complex, full, rich, and smoky. I am a big fan of Mclelland blends generally, like 3 oaks, but this is mynfavorite. I tried black mountain and don't understand why everyone loves it so much. I am letting it sit for a while and will go back to it..

Good Latakia blend, a little overpriced.

This is a fine tobacco and is definitely in the spirit of Sobranie 759. It is the best English blend I've tasted from McClelland to date.

This was my very first Balkan/English/Latakia-heavy blend. It was pretty good, and I enjoyed it. I think it's a little overpriced, but liked the experience

I have never tried the legendary Balkan Sobranie which this blend is based upon but I can tell you that this blend more than stands on its own. The latakia in this blend is well supported by a tangy incense like quality that comes from the orientals. This blend is definitely worth trying!

Not the super blend I expected. While it has a complex palet it didn't take my breath away. I think I let it sit for a while and see what happens.

This is a top notch blend...a real Latakia bomb!! Being old enough to have smoked Balkan Sobranie 759, this is a very close copy. Deep, rich and smoky...yet with a subtle sweetness.

Yes it's the throwdown blend to 759 and Blue Mountain tastes IMHO nothing like it. A bad thing? No, not at all as it should be viewed on it's own merits. BM shares that common taste of McClelland English blends dare I say it tastes "McClellandy" and I and not speaking of the vinegar taste. It also shares the same wet on arrival and forever to dry quality of McClelland. With that all said, there is a nice smokiness with some sweetness to the blend. It appears quite rich in the tin and in flavor. BM lacks the strength I prefer and for that reason I prefer the winner in the Chicago throwdown, Black House. I also find Black House to be more complex. I think fans of McClelland English blends will find this to be a full five star blend and should stock up on some tins. For me, it's just recommended.
