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 my first tobacco review having just started the hobby so having now tried 8 tobaccos I feel able to usefully comment. I had no trouble packing and lighting (thanks you tube) and keeping it lit but I did manage to burn a cave into the bowl of my first and not very cheap Peterson pipe. I put that down to technique. The tobacco was light on flavour but did not burn my tongue and the smell was pleasant enough. A pretty goood introduction into pipe smoking but I dont think I will buy it again. There are so many alternatives.

This is a good mild aromatic tobacco, recommended for beginner smokers. It does not bite the tongue and the aroma is very pleasant. Smoke it easily and you will love this one.

I recommend this for aromatic aficianados. Fruity, but still some real tobacco taste. Not wet and goopy like some other aromatics. Non-biting, the tobacco in the pouch I bought was somewhat dry; thus, air-drying prior to lighting was unnecessary.
This blend stayed lit well and was virtually trouble free. I wholly enjoyed the 45 minute smoke and look forward to my next bowl.

Funny, I got both Mild Choice and Aromatic Choice and they are very different. Mild Choice is a milder version of the Original. So let?s talk about the Original first. It is very very aromatic. In fact so much so one can only taste the heavy creamy sweet vanilla with just a generous non-detectable tobacco flavor. Great to impress your friend with and fun to have around, I guess. But then they have the Aromatic Choice. It certainly makes me wonder, how can this be more aromatic then the Original? As I found out, once the bag is open, I am greeted with smell of assorted fruits, especially peach. I see a few yellow/brown leaves and that?s it. Once fired up, it is peach flavored aperitif all the way. Sorry, but this sway a bit too much from the purpose of pipe smoking.
