Mac Baren staple tobacco

This tobacco is certainly the most known Mac Baren blend. It is a very good and satisfying puff. While opening the pouch or tin a whaft of something that reminds me of honey hits my nostrils. The tobacco is easy to pack, but  bit chunky sometimes so better rub it a bit just to make sure. Treat this gentlemen properly, giving it short and steady puffs, so you will get the most out of it and without heating up your pipe. Aroma is soft and mellow. Not overpowering...One of my fave pipe tobaccos to date. I do not give it all stars becuase these are left to a few English blends which are remarkable.

Classic Nutty One

This is what I call a tricky weed.


One of my first pouches as a pipe lover...it was a revelation, a straight, simple, easy and affordable smoke, nutty and creamy but sincere. This first pouch ended soon.

I bought a second pouch last summer and had it cellared till I opened it last month. Incredibly disastrous, my tongue is still suffering the bites. Barely reached half of the bowl.

Both of the times the tobacco was too dry to smoke it without some vapor rehidr.

Then I found my way thru this...I always had it rubbed out and I was completely wrong. I packed my last two bowls straight out of the pouch, pressing some broken flake one on another and topping with just a hint of debris. What i got now is a mellow, slow burning and sweet sweet blend. Cavendish and ripe Virginia finally lead the way. I didn't really expect it from a Mac baren pouch product but it's allright. Nutty and chocolatey.
