Mac Baren Three Nuns Green

I’m reviewing both Three Nun’s Yellow and Green because I bought them simultaneously to compare. Both were smoked in a variety of pipes (hand carved, cobs, thick, thin, small and large) and in a variety of methods (sitting/tasting, while walking, while doing yard work). Based on all of those criteria, here are my reviews: Three Nun’s Green Described as a VaPer with Dark Fired Kentucky - this seems to me like one of those tobaccos trying to find itself.

Packaging: Like the other Three Nun’s in the family, this tobacco looks like it was packed in haste. Opening the round tin, I found loosely packed irregular coins haphazardly mixed with ribbons of tobacco. Moisture content on the other hand is perfect and smokable right out of the tin. Regardless, I transferred into a rubber sealed jar and let the tobacco breathe for a day before smoking.

Strength: I found the nicotine content to be on the more mild side for this tobacco.

Tin Note: The aroma from the tin could be described as a mixture of fig cookie with a little cocoa.

Taste/Flavoring: I chose to take this tobacco on a walk for the first few bowls and I found this tobacco to behave in a few different stages. In the first third of the bowl, I definitely noted a mixture of the sweet Virginia/Perique (bready and fig newton) combined with a toastiness from the DFK. In the middle third of the bowl, the tobaccos blended together into a sweet mixture that lingered across my tongue after every exhale. In the final third of the bowl, I detected almost no presence of the DFK.

Room Note: With the discerning nose of my non-smoking wife, she found the lingering smell of this tobacco to be a heavier tobacco then she appreciates. So, it clearly doesn’t pass the wife test and makes it an outdoor tobacco.

OVERALL: Considering that I love sweet Virginia tobaccos, when I compare 3NG to the other tobaccos in the family, I’d put this in a solid third place.
