Mac Baren HH Vintage Syrian - Pipe Tobacco Reviews

My Pouch |
Tin |
NOTE: This is a 0.88oz sample pouch that I received from Mac Baren at the time this blend was introduced, so it is has about 2 years of age on it. HH Vintage Syrian is not available in this pouch.
The pouch aroma on this blend has a sweet and tangy Virginia smell accompanied by the smokiness from the Latakia. The moisture content is perfect for smoking right out of the pouch. It is a coarse cut, which means there are some nice chunky pieces of tobacco. I loaded my pipe and proceeded with the charring light.
On the charring light I am greeted by a nice sweet taste with a smoky aroma. I am also met with a slight tingling sensation in my mouth that indicated that this was going to bite me. That is not a good thing this early in the smoke, but I was expecting it. I was expecting it because I am one of the people that get bit by every Mac Baren tobacco that I smoke. Which upsets me because; they make some mighty tasty blends. There are other people who never get bit by Mac Baren tobaccos, so don’t buy in too much about the dreaded ‘Mac Baren Bite’ that you might have heard about. Try them for yourself to see how you are affected. Read the rest of this entry »
