It's possible and likely that both companies get their tobaccos from the same sources. I'm sure that happens at times, most probably more often than we know. In my opinion, most tobaccos grown in overseas countries tend to produce stronger flavors than those grown in this country. The Germans and the English all have more potent Virginias and burleys than what is sourced in the USA. But, that doesn't mean American companies use bad tobacco. Some foreign companies use the same or similar preservatives, and some use different kinds. In your particular case, it's an overall case that is a matter of liking what you're used to and how your personal taste has developed. And I don't how see you, me, or anybody else can ever get around their own personal preferences. Nor should any of us.I think McClelland and C&D both have their share of excellent blends, and like Sutliff and other companies, their have some not-so-excellent blends.</blockquote>
