Clan Original: review
Clan Original, formerly known as Clan Aromatic, is an iconic pipe tobacco known to all longtime smokers.
It is so not only because of its widespread popularity, but also because of its distinctive aroma, which is capable of bringing many people closer to the passion for the tobacco pipe... and, at the same time, driving them away. In fact, there are numerous newcomers who, after trying it without liking it, have abandoned the idea of pipe smoking.
Always present in tobacco shops, even when the choice was much more limited than today, Clan is probably the tobacco that every smoker has tried at least once in his or her life.
Its love-hate relationship stems from the complexity of the blend, which has as many as 14 tobaccos. In addition to the classic Virginia, Black Cavendish, and Burley, we also find Latakia, a tobacco that divides fans by its smoky aroma.
In smoke, Clan releases sweet notes accompanied by hints of dried fruit and hay. However, to best enjoy its aromatic complexity, it is essential to smoke it slowly. Too intense a draw risks overheating the coals and making the smoke bitter.
Ultimately, we recommend Clan Original to anyone who wants to try a historic tobacco, but not to novices, as it is an aromatic blend.
