I’ve been trying a lot of different tobaccos, but hadn’t experienced a well aged one. I’m a rookie pipe smoker, but many of my cigars are 10-20 years old so I know how much difference that can make. So, I picked up a couple tins of 1970s MacBaren Symphony from Pipestud’s consignment this week.
I popped one open and the odor of clover honey wafted out like I’d just opened a jar. As I smoked, the honey flavor was prevalent with just a hint of sweetness. The smoke was wonderfully smooth and creamy. Time has softened any rough edges and left a subtle and well rounded impression.
My new favorite, and I will be searching out more aged tobaccos soon.
