Mac Baren Uncle Louie Rum
(2.47)
Uncle Louie's Caribbean Rum is the absolute, ultimate pleasure. The specially selected rum from the sun-blessed coasts of the Caribbean has a mild, irresistible allure which, combined with sweet, aromatic Virginia, the more full bodied burley and Mac Baren's own Modern Cavendish gives a distinctive flavor with a sweet, pleasant aroma.
Notes: Introduced in 2003.

A very unusual blend, this. Visually appealing, a rich golden brown mass spotted with darker pieces. The aroma is very alluring. Tobacco-ey and rum-soaked. However, the taste bears no resemblance whatsoever to the aroma. In fact, this is the most strangely tasting tobacco I've smoked -- but I don't mean that in a bad way. The flavor does not overwhelm the palate. Very woody (not woodsy), and with a tang reminiscent of, kind of like, well -- sort of like a shot of smooth rum. No tobacco afteraste either. Overall a dry, mild smoke, with an unusual flavor. Not bad.
It was a dry summer in the Australian Outback, and the bush guide was glad the tourists had decided to stop for the night. He pulled out his inexpensive straight briar and filled it with Uncle Louis' Rum blend. The smoke was dry, and the coolness was well appreciated. Tomorrow he knew he would ford the river -- the fat American would probably float downstream -- or maybe sink! Puffing away, the guide pondered the stars and the luxurious wild.

Here's a Mac Baren that I enjoy. Upon opening the tin you will notice a mixed cut tobacco in varying shades of lights & darks. The tobacco arrives at the appropriate moisture level, for me at least, not too wet not too dry. The tin aroma smells wonderfull with what seems like just the right amount of rum topping and tobaccouy (sp?) smells.
Packing: This packs rather well given the varying cuts of tobacco. I do recommend using your best 3 step pack here and don't over do it. If you pack this one too tight its tongue bite city.
Burn: Using your amazing packing skills this will settle into a nice burn with just the occasional tamp/relight needed. Its has a very nice sweet rum flavor that sticks around the entire bowl. You will also notice the occasional Virginia tang and nutty burley taste popping up as you work your way through the bowl. This is good quality tobacco here folks..
At the end you are left with mottled grey ash and no goop. This one burns well right to the end..and finishes clean. Not bitter.
All-in-all a good rum aromatic and a keeper for me. Remember, however, this is a Mac..and if you pack incorrectly and/or try to rush your puffing you WILL fry your tongue.
So smoke it slow & enjoy this Mac Baren offering..I do

Not my cup of tea, I tried this in several different pipes, as I felt it had potential. No, I just could not like this tobacco. I found the rum flavor tiresome and one dimensional and the base tobacco was less than flavorful.

When I'm not smoking Balkans or straight Virginias I like rum-soaked tobaccos as a change of pace: I think rum is the alcoholic flavour that suits tobacco the best. Here we have a mild mixture, good to be smoked in the morning or during the day, just too light as an after dinner. A good tobacco after all, never bitter, good burning and incredibly cool for the tongue, considering its category. Well worth a try.

Not my kind of tobacco, it`s seem to me very artificial. In the pouch you can se diferents kinds of virginias and burleys and to litle cavendish. The Rum note is very superficial and the taste is not full. Poor nicotine.

Very similar to Golden Extra by MacBaren only substitute rum for honey-vanilla flavor. A fairly coarse tobacco with perfect moisture content. As with all MacB products is likely to bite if puffed too quickly. A bit one-note but exceptional for a Danish style Aromatic.

Okay fellers, I have to admit, I may not have tried this unless I had won it off of their website, but I have to say: It's prettty darn good! This is basically Mixture with some sugar cane rum added and it really works. The whiskey wasn't bad, but this stuff is better. It can nip, and makes the bowl quite hot to the touch. Overall though this is just the ticket when you want something sweet and friendly!
