The 221b Honeydew is a light Honey topping (actually, I can't even taste it) on a wonderful pressed straight VA blend which, with 2-3 years in the tin, is to my taste buds, is a sublime smoke.

Hi Ray,
Welcome back home, and thanks for putting it on the line for the rest of us
!!
On the Honeydew subject. Just finished a tin of McClellands 221b series
Honeydew, was awesome !
I am primarily a Virginia and English blend guy. This was a nice change of
pace. Only problem I see is that it is not available in bulk :-(.
Anyway give it a try sometime.
Again welcome back and thanks !!
"Keep the smoking light lit!"

I like the Sweet Vanilla Honeydew. The room smells pretty good
afterwards (that is when I have permission to smoke indoors). The
taste is unique though, to me, it tastes like fresh cut grass with a
nutty background. I like it though, I smoke at least two full bowls
of it every day.
