I recently tried all of the Mac Baren HH blends except Rustica. These are very good quality tobaccos, with Latakia Flake being my favorite as an easy-to-rub flake English tobacco. The others are good representatives of their type: Burley, Kentucky, Virginia. I've added a little bit of the very strong Bold Kentucky to the bottom of a bowl of milder tobacco and I liked the flavor effect without making the tobacco stronger than "medium".

The HH Burley Flake, ODF and Bold Kentucky are among my favorite daily tobaccos. There aren’t any bad tobaccos in the HH line imo.
Agreed, though Acadian is the only one I totally missed out on (even scored some Vintage Syrian earlier this year).

The only one I don’t think stands out is HH Balkan. It’s good, as they all are, but not (to me) very special.

Tried Acadian Perique, Pure VA, Lat. Flake, and ODF. Liked them all except for the last one. Just not my thing, I guess. Fortunately, it was only a sample.

HH Virginia Flake was a tobacco I fell in love with instantly, and hope to try HH Burley Flake soon, as I’m segueing into burleys.
Just an FYI, VA Flake isn't part of the HH line. But I too fell in love with it right off the bat. Sweeter and smoother than Pure VA IMHO, although the both of them are certainly the cream of the crop for their category in my eyes. 👍

Agreed, all thoe Barens HH blends are of impeccable quality,but unfortunately Here across the pond prices for this very hh line have increased quite significantly over the past two years or so,
Hey Paul.

Although the HH blends are made here in Denmark, it's not possible to buy them here 😡
It's only made for export.
