McClelland CORPS Vanilla Ice

Vanilla Ice is an aromatic among the club blends McClelland prepared for the Conclave of Richmond Pipe Smokers. Its structure has two layers: slowly steam-processed black Cavendish forms the base, joined by bright, naturally sweet yellow Virginia; a mild vanilla flavoring is applied over it. In the smoke, the tobacco's own character stays in the background, with creamy vanilla taking the lead. As with high-Cavendish aromatics generally, moisture balance and even tamping matter.
