Mac Baren Amphora Special Reserve No.2

the third and final amphora that is available in the UK that I have tried.

I have to say that this is a cherry aromatic that ticks all the boxes.

out of the pouch the cherry dominates but it isn't a sickly or artificial flavour it actually smells natural, there is a touch of tobacco scent but over all it's cherry all the way.

A nice thick ribbon that packs easily and lights a charm, the cherry is straight away saying hello, the burley adds a nice nuttiness to the blend and the Virginia gives it that bit of tang.

it burns really well it never gets warm and surprisingly for an aromatic it has not one hint of bite, it barely even gets warm.

so if you are sick of gloopy aromatics, artificial cough medicine flavour aromatics try this one it ticks all the boxes for my and is a very fine smoke indeed, the strength is there and never overwhelms and is a fantastic social smoke the room note couldn't offend if it tried.

easily an all day smoke and one that I will be deffinitely keeping on hand.

This is what borkum riff cherry Cavendish could of been had they chose a more natural topping rather than the overly artificial one.

well done Mac baren for creating another fine amphora blend.

One of the new blends made in Denmark from Mac Baren's collection. Cherry aroma (chemical i suppose) but I loved it! I will buy it again and again and again. When you smell the blend in the pouch your imagination will bring a woman's perfume in frond of you and you will have the desire to make love with her 😀 This is absolutely one of the 'must to try' blends.

I was debating between this one and Amphora Full and on the end bought both. Started with No.2 and on opening of the pouch you can smell strong cherry. It smokes well, no bites no problems with lighting. You can also taste vanilla as second aroma. It is very pleasant to smoke and leaves nice aftertaste. All in all I am delighted with it and will continue to enjoy it. When I finally tried Amphora Full who came highly recommended I was not so impressed.

Opening the packet you are greeted by a sweet clean smelling cherry aroma. Not overpowering or synthetic, just A natural fruity smell.

This was recommended my my local tobacconist along with a few other tobaccos I’ve already reviewed.

This tobacco was easy to light and there wasn’t any tongue bite. The smoke was smooth and I could taste the cherry ever so slightly, but in a satisfying way. The room note is very pleasant. The price isn’t too bad either, this is a quality tobacco. It can be smoked everyday or on a special occasion. Maybe the tobacco was very fresh but it seemed to die on me a few times in the beginning.

If you like this kind of tobacco it the Amphora product range, do yourself a favour and try it! Buy a pouch for your humidor... you won’t regret it!
