One of the first tins I purchased as a new piper was Mac Baren Original Choice, based on a recommendation. When I first opened the tin it was so disturbingly sweet and like over-ripe fruits, I almost gave it away. Instead, I put it in a jar figuring I'd use it as an experiment to see how it changes over time. Since then I've smoked almost all English blends, thinking aromatics were not going to be for me.
Today, after almost 8 weeks, I opened the tin to check it out, and was pretty surprised how the tin note had mellowed and became actually quite pleasant. So of course, I had to smoke a bowl and was surprised how much I liked it. And this one isn't even rated very highly on Tobacco Reviews.
The only bad part of this is, now I have to start investigating aromatics! Better check my bank account. :lol:
