Mac Baren Aromatic Choice
(1.91)
Aromatic Choice makes pipe smoking as easy as possible. Filling your pipe is effortless, and smoking it is even easier, especially if you are a less experienced pipe smoker. The tobacco is a loose cut blend of golden Virginia, the modern Mac Baren cavendish, and it is smoothed-out with a unique burley. The flavor profile comes from selected Virginia tobaccos, which add an inherent sweetness to the blend. Some of the modern Mac Baren cavendish is added to provide a light, sweet taste with faint hint of tanginess. The air-cured burley balances the recipe for a wonderful smoke. The taste of Aromatic Choice is reminiscent of the flavor of ripe exotic fruits. It tamps well, smokes great, and offers a pleasant and relaxing time. The packaging is made of environmentally-friendly recycled cardboard with a handsome reclosable collar, which aids in keeping the packaging sealed after opening, so that Aromatic Choice tobacco can retain its soft and natural moisture.
Notes: Introduced in 2000.
Formerly called "Mild Choice". In 2002 it was decided in the EU that tobacco products are to carry larger warning texts. In that same law it also says that words like "Light "and "Mild" cannot be used on tobacco products anymore, hence the name change.
Due to further EU regulations, this is renamed and sold in those countries as "Absolute Choice".

This is a typical MacBaren blend with heavy use of their favorite honey like casing. Sweet with no tobacco flavor at all.

Oh yes the legendary mac baren bite - that's probably why mac baren has introduced this tabacco by mentioning on the nice wrap (no tonguebite). It's true you wont't get bit but you can smoke hot "lemonized" air....

A diferencia de otros tabacos de la casa Mac Baren, el aromatic choice es una mezcla especialmente mala. Las notas de habitación son agradables para el olfato de quienes me rodearon durante las fumadas, pero el gusto es totalmente distinto. No tiene punto de comparación con otros aromáticos en los que se enmarca perfectamente el gusto en boca, las notas, el aroma en la bolsa o lata y el aroma en la habitación. Personalmente no recomiendo esta mezcla. Pero es como todo, para gustos sabores.

Oh boy, that was my first tobacco. It was so bad, I tought to leave the pipe smoking. It was bitter, chemically, and burns the tongue. Not recommended.

Yet another aromatic by Mac Baren. Everything written on description above is true, I prefer this one -and Mac Baren Vanilla Choice- when I am exhausted with challenging tobaccos but still have desire to smoke. Easy but non-satisfying to my taste.

If you would like some very aromatic (hard to tell, but peach, honey, vanilla) and very mild smoke - this is a very good choice. Think of hookah smoke - that's relatively close. No tongue bite, sweet pleasant aftertaste, even cool burn with white ash, is there even nicotine? You can pretty much breathe this one. No need to strain yourself smoking carefully not to flip to bitter/bitey like with similar line of borkum riff for example. Bottom line this is more of a cocktail drink made of smoke. I only regret getting 1 pouch and will definitely get more. Compared to 7 seas cherry (another mc baren I tried), this is heavenly. All that being said, if you want actual tobacco smoke - this is not your choice at all. Probably the main reason for all the negative feedback here.

It was my first ever tobacco and I'd recommend it for newbies. All of my friends loved the smell and, although the taste wasn't noticeable, I enjoyed smoking it. I never bought it again and I don't intend to, but I have a good memory of this blend.

lemon taste is different. if you like aromatics you should try this at least once (not twice!) but otherwise it offers nothing different.

It completely depends on your taste. This blend has some kind of bizarre fruity smell and taste. First few bowls I really hated it but now I'm getting used to it! And also my friends like it. Very easy burning so you don't need to light it up again and again. Very mild with no bite. Good choice for those who seek something different.
