Cleaned Up in Abu Dhabi....My new additions

[eaglerico]

The pipe is supposedly a Lorenzetti pipe. I got it for $40 US after some serious negoiating. Not sure if it really is as I can not find it any where on the internet and it is seriously cheaper price wise then any of the pipes on their website. However it is still smokes well and is a decent new pipe in the collection. Tell me what you guys think.
First, the three tins in the front are Davidoff Green, Red and Blue mixture. All 50g. I think the Green is the same thing as the "Light" blend. I got these for $6.50 a can in Duty Free at the air port in Doha. Bottom shelf, in the back behind all the cigars on the shelf. lol
The rest I got in a store called "The Smoking Centre" in Abu Dhabi. Paid a total of $54 US.
Mac Baren Scotish Blend 50g

Mac Baren Original Choice 50g

Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Loose Cut 50g

Stanwell Honey & Caramel with Hint of Vanilla 50g

Peterson Holiday Season 2010 100g
So far I have only tried the Mac Baren Original and have say that it is the best tobacco I have ever smoked. I havn't smoked much but this is hands down netter then anything else I have tried. Can't wait to try everything else.
The Peterson Smells wonderful the description on the back says it has an aroma of Cookies & Cream with a touch of Espresso
All in all paid a total of $113.50. Have to say that was a great deal for all that. I looked at the loacl stuff and just didn't find it interesting. I went into three different tobacco shops in Abu Dhabi and have to say it was nice to see just as much store space given to pipe related stuff as anything else. There, pipe stuff shared space with the Hookah stuff, pipes, cigaretts and the Midwakh stuff.

I'm interested in what you have to say about the MB stuff. I have a local liquor store that carries mac baren in tins (strange I know). I can get as many tins of most of the MB line as I could ever smoke, but I have never seen the original choice. I know my go to smoke is 7 seas royal. I may ask the guy behind the counter if they can order this original in a tin for me though...

You cleaned up. That pipe is beautiful, branded or not.

MacB in tins, strange? I've yet to see any of the pouched Mac Baren in person! I think I may have to make a trip down to Rich's today. I almost picked up a tin of Original last time I went...now I wish I did.

I've still never been let down by a MacB blend!

You certainly made out well. Hope the pipe keeps on smoking right for you.

Update on the new tobacco. As I write this I am smoking the MB Vanilla from above. I hope my next bowl of this stuff is better. I am having trouble keeping it lit. Thus, I have to smoke it hotter than I would prefer. Tastes well enough though I think smoking it hot takes away a better flavor that I can tell is there

You scored well. I've always found the Mac Baren's to smoke hot. I used to smoke their Golden Extra and the Scottish once in a while. Its been many years since I've had any of their stuff. At any rate enjoy your booty.

Mac Baren markets the pouches in Europe and the tins here.
