MacBaren Coin Cut Blend with Virginia, Dark Fired and Perique?

northernneil · Dec 6, 2014

I just watched part 2 of the MacBaren factory tour in the Video Library in the Sticky Threads. In this video they are talking about a coin cut blend to be released at the 2011 Chicago Pipe Show containing Virginias wrapped around a core of dark fired and perique.
What is the name of this blend as it sounds amazing? Is it even still available, or was it a limited release?

Could it have been the Newminster coins that they make? Though I think those came out more recently.

Wondering if perhaps this never made it off the ground?

I was kind of wondering the same thing.

Three Nun's belongs to MacBaren now doesn't it? Could that be the coins?

Not supposed to be any perique in the new three nuns.

Is it Stockton? I seem to recall that Stockton had some Kentucky...but can't remember if there is also Perique. It's been a number of years since I've smoked any of this

I was looking for this purported product ever since that video came out. It never materialized at the Chicago Show that year.

I think Kevin knows what happened; but we could just email Per Jensen and ask directly.

Newminster's coins...the Superior Round Sliced #403 are purportedly whole VA leaf around dark fired KY. The whole leaf begins brightly and a tad sharp, and the dark fired is more mellow. The bowl settles into a rich, slightly sweet tobacco taste that burns dry and evenly.

I know of one MacBaren blend with Perique and that is HH Acadian Perique. I can't speak to other blends that they manufacture and give a different name. I've often wondered why they don't do a few more Perique blends. Perhaps its a more difficult leaf for them to get their hands on?
