Frog Morton's Cellar

When I read about Frog Morton’s Cellar tins including a piece of bourbon stave in the tin, I felt mixed emotions.
On the one hand, I admired what seemed to me to be a clever marketing tactic that would make the tin-opening experience memorable and differentiate the blend from others in the Frog Morton lineup. On the other hand, the move seemed a bit gimmicky. I couldn’t find any practical reason for the stave cube.
A Bourbon barrel-stave chunk is in the tinI’m a big McClelland fan. Most of my rotation is comprised of their blends. I’m also a fan of the Frog Morton series. They are a great good-morning smoke – flavorful, yet creamy and mild. So, I came to the whole notion wanting to like the tobacco.
I found two tins on the shelves of Fayetteville’s Tobacco Shop during a recent business trip to Northwest Arkansas. I bought one, popped it, and loaded a pipe right then and there.
