Mac Baren Dark Twist Loose Cut
(2.38)
The shortcut to good tobacco. Easier to fill - easier to smoke. A contrast-rich mixture of golden, loose cut Virginia tobaccos and mild black cavendish, with a touch of matured burley tobaccos. A mild harmonious mixture with a round, pleasant and characteristic Dark Twist tobacco flavour. Dark Twist Loose Cut is very easy to fill and easy to smoke.

My tobacco is from a couple of 5 gram foil sample packs that are several years old. The tobacco is still moist but not overly so. The cut is random with some reddish pieces among the brown and black; it packed into the bowl effortlessly and without additional preparation. Virginia provides the finesse of this blend with the black Cavendish bringing in some mellow sweetness. The Burley rounds out the balance of flavors and provides some backbone. The first third of the bowl highlights the Virginia sweetness and flavor. As the bowl progresses the other components crowd in on the Virginia a bit. The high point of the bowl is the middle third; there is some depth and smoothness to be found here. The smoke is relatively cool once the bowl is going good, but caution is warranted in the early stages. The nicotine content is slightly less than medium but is remarkable. The pipes used were a medium-sized Sunrise Canadian and a bent Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman.

Nice blend. Not so much tounge bite as the Roll Cake. Perfect for times when you don't need to fuss about smoking high maintenance blends. Great sweet and sour taste, fruity with woody tones. Roomnote makes women horny, they Think you smell like a man covered in leather. I have set the strength to medium to strong. Why? Because this blend really gives me nicotine slap. I have smoked the blend in different pipes but I really get a buzz. Must be the burley. The Dark Twist Roll Cake is more gentle with vitamin N. The sugars help to metabolize the nico. But maybe that's just me.

Here is Dark Twist pre-rubbed with one major improvement, no tounge bite. If you like DT except for its tounge bite, this versions for you!
