We are so snobbish ! We forgot that this type of tobaccos made us feel interested in pipe smoking. When we felt the beautiful smelling smoke from pipe smokers that we encountered. We should help this brands more. We became so snobbish !
The aroma of Clan is what drew me away from cigarettes to a pipe. I mainly smoke balkan blends these days but Clan, every now and then, is a nice light break. Great vids.
New to pipe tobacco , and I have to say ... clan is my favourite, I've tried St bruno, and condor , but so far clan ... well there's just something about it , a very nice smoke , condor is second with St bruno 3rd , yep clan for me so far
I just received my 1 annual pouch of clan from friends in France. I'm always glad when it arrives. I would happily smoke 3 pouches a year. It's nice to hear something positive about it. not just that it's terrible. take care.
Timberdrifter It really isn't terrible but I can see where a lot of smokers would simply get annoyed and just bad mouth it! Thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre
I remember going to the corner shop with my grandad to get a newspaper and a pouch of clan tobacco, then getting back and he'd pack a bowl and we would do the crossword together. I always enjoyed the smell and he'd sometimes blow smoke rings which I always thought were cool. overall good memories.
I like the Clan tobacco. It smells like the old time classics tobacco. I enjoy smoking it and I think is one category by itself. I always have this tobacco standing by.
I really like first impressions videos, getting to share a single moment that will never happen again (first taste of a new tobacco) is always fun. Anyway, really nice video. I'm with you, when I hear negative reviews of something there are lots of times when I feel the need to see for myself. Also, thanks for acknowledging the cat, for a minute there I thought my college days were catching up to me ;)
Nom De Tube Yeah, I think I am going to do that with the rest of the OTC blends I have to try...it was kinda fun! Yeah, that cat was acting strange there for a bit! Lol...thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre
exactely. and this is how all baccies ought to be smoked. so many pipers smoke wayyyyyy to fast and too hot. burning off all the flavours, complaining about overheating and moist. So often pipers have a cigarette history and using cigarette style draws on a pipe. Best advise i always give is to smoke as slowly as possible, as if it were a pipe smoking competition. and to produce as little smoke as possible. tiny teaspoon size sips. Clan is ofcourse not a top quality baccy. But it is still quite enjoyable. It is not a daily smoke for me but every time I stumble on the jar of Clan when roaming thru my tobacco cellar i do like to fill up a bowl and i always enjoy it.
Always thought there was catnip or the like in that blend haha. Different strokes I guess, one blend that I really struggled to enjoy, smoke it slowly or your tongue won't forgive you haha. Take care bud, Tommy
Toking Tommy Gotta be honest, I hardly ever get tongue bite...this gave me tongue bite! Lol...but still, not AS bad as I imagined! Thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre
all tobaccos should be smoked slowly. About 80% of the ppl in the YTPC dont know how to smoke properly and smoke WAYYY too fast and WAYYY too hot.... and then go about complaining about overheating, moisture and tongue bite. and unjustfully bashing lovelytobaccos. Virtually all modern pipe smokers have a cigarette background and apply cigarette style draws to a pipe..... a bit mouth full. They are chugging on their pipes as if their lives depend on it. desperately trying to keep it lit and to produce big clouds of smoke. This fast smoking scourges off all the tobaccos flavours. Best advise i always give is to smoke as slowly aspossible as if it were a pipe smoking competition. and to produce as little smoke as possible. tiny teaspoon size sips and using the breathing/bellowing method. Go slow..... its a pipe.... not a c0ck lol
Hello compadre, good to see you pumping out the videos. I took a bit of a break from my pipe. But I saw your review of that "Condor" ready rubbed fine tobacco and it seems very interesting, also that Germain's Special Latakia flake looks good. So what is going on with this "Condor" ready rubbed I keep hearing about, pretty tasty?
lovedasticks Gotta be honest compadre...to a lakeland lover such as myself, Condos can be my all day everyday smoke! It is a simple, flowery, fragrant smoke, easy to pack and keeps its light. I am going to get more as soon as I can! Thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre
Who's Afraid of Erik Nørding? Yeah, I don't know what got into that cat, he's never done that before?!?! : ) You know, it was an experience and not as bad as I had heard. Thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre
I like Clan, it's what my dad used to smoke, easily available when you don't have time to order something more exotic....a solid journeyman baccy

Same for me. I tried St Bruno, Condor and Clan. Clan is the one I stuck with. People all taste things different.

I accidentally bought 5 pouches at the duty free store in Bali Indonesia thinking it was cigarette tobacco.
I love it
I smoke Clan in my churchwarden. I don't understand what's not to like about it.

Well done and informative, as always! Thanks
ParsonRick Thanks compadre and thanks for watching...vaya con Dios
Looks like your cats 🐱 a fan of it . You've made people curious now so I reckon more people are going to give it a try . Well done 👍

Good review! I like Clan, it's not the best but certainly not the worst either. I think it's a good OTC tobacco.
I used Clan tartan to make a border around a card; looks good 👍 and an interesting recycling project!
lol. waste not want not :D
Clan! There is actually a facebook group for the blend. I always kinda thought it was a myth.
Couch Lol...yeah it definitely merits some sort of, "cult following" at this point! : ) Thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre
PS: Definitely one to smoke by the sipful and not the mouthful. I find Clan at its best when retrohaled and or using the breath method.

The cat seems to be a ‘CLAN’ fan; I guess it must be true about the ‘catnip’...
Lol, one last thing, smoke Clan in a meerschaum. The meerschaum seems to soak a lot of the harshness that can come from the tabac.
Next time I'll look up cat reviews I might get a decent view of the composition of the tobacco being talked about
Hello Rene,
Thx for the review. Will be looking forward for a full review sometime if you do later on.
Well, your cat liked it!!! 😊😂
Take care!
Gilles Cassidy Yeah I know...crazy cat! Lol...yeah, definitely doing a follow up at some point! Thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre

No , loving the cat .the cat loves clan
Like you, I've heard Clan is a tobacco from hell. Now you've made me curious. It was nice of your cat to make a guest appearance - made me laugh!
Who's Afraid of Erik Nørding? Yeah, I don't know what got into that cat, he's never done that before?!?! : ) You know, it was an experience and not as bad as I had heard. Thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre
its called a tobacco from hell by people who dont know how to smoke a pipe.
“ whatever they are left with they use it and call it clan “
So it’s a tobacco salad! Lol
clan, condor, mixture 79; is everything ok? you just might win that race to the bottom LOL...
michael picardal Lol...hey I did do Germain's Special Latakia Flake?!?!?! : ) Thanks for watching y vaya con Dios compadre
It's not bad. Smells like marzipan.
And try packing it a fair bit looser than you would pack an English/Balkan blend.
wow, this is tobacco that I started with 10 years ago. I will not advise it to anyone these days though.
Bloody kids. Use a match not a zippo,and a finger not a plastic gay thing. i remember rolling up clan into rollups in the 70s.
You rolled clan into roll ups? And heckling this guy for using a tamp and Zippo? YOU ROLLED CLAN INTO ROLL UPS FFS!
