Mac Baren Highland Mixture
(3.07)
Mac Baren Highland Mixture consists of ready rubbed, fully mature Virginia tobaccos and carefully selected, golden brown burley. To round off the taste, we have added a touch of specially spiced cavendish. As a finishing touch, the tobacco blender has added a generous measure of 30-year-old Glenfarclas - a pedigree single malt highland whisky.

It packs easily and burns well. It also smells nice both in the tin and while burning. It does not bite either. It has a variety of cuts in the leaf and burns slowly. And the additive in this one really has a lot of fans as it does indeed seem to help along the leaf within.

I have a love/hate relationship with many of Mac Baren's blends. I like the flavor of many of them but they seem to have a grudge against my tongue! I was intrigued by the description of this blend and decided to spend the $18 for a tin to give it a try. I expected the worst and was surprised to find a tobacco that I really like. The flavor is a nice mixture of the natural sweetness of virginia and the nuttiness of burley. If overpuffed, it will bite, but even reasonable care prevents it. I ended up smoking the entire tin before moving on to any other tobacco. If it weren't for the cost, and sometimes limited availability, I would rate this higher. If you are an aromatic smoker looking to try a virginia blend, this is a good place to start.

Very pleasant smoke! As a single-malt loving pipe smoker, I had to give this a try. Very flavorful, colorful and wonderfully aromatic with no bite to speak of. The only thing that prevents me from keeping it on hand is its price and availablity. Its unexplained absence from the Mac Baren website is a bit odd as well. I certainly hope they do not drop this blend.
