2017 SEALED FROG MORTON TIN 50G

McClelland Frog Morton pipe tobacco is a legendary and beloved classic from the now-discontinued McClelland lineup, often hailed as one of the most approachable yet richly satisfying Latakia mixtures ever created. Inspired by the whimsical Frogmorton village in J.R.R. Tolkien's Shire (with the frog protagonist enjoying his pipe and whiskey), this blend was crafted over four years to perfection by the master blenders at McClelland.

This exceptionally dark, rich, and full English-style mixture centers on premium Cyprian Latakia for that signature smoky, campfire depth, balanced beautifully with smooth, sweet Virginias that provide a mellow, naturally sweet foundation. Unlike heavier Balkans, Frog Morton keeps the Latakia prominent but restrained—delivering satisfying smoky flavor without overwhelming the palate, making it soft enough for all-day enjoyment or quiet serenity.

The tin note greets you with a distinctive smoky-sweet aroma, often evoking hints of chocolate, coffee, subtle citrus or fruit undertones, and that characteristic McClelland richness (sometimes described as a touch of barbecue in younger tins, mellowing beautifully with age). The ribbon-cut tobacco is moist out of the tin—allow some drying time for optimal performance—burns cool, even, and steady, with a creamy smoke and a pleasantly tolerable room note that's far from offensive.

Expect a medium-bodied experience that's remarkably smooth, evolving from sweet Virginia notes to deeper smoky layers, with a harmonious finish that keeps you coming back. Perfect for those new to Latakia-forward blends or seasoned smokers seeking a refined, everyday English without the bite of bolder mixtures.

A true icon among pipe enthusiasts, Frog Morton remains a collector's favorite and a benchmark for balanced Latakia enjoyment. Savor the legacy while supplies last in the aftermarket.
