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.

I was very, very dissapointed in this blend. It is very similar to stokkebye royal guard rum. It is definitley not worth the money in my opinion. I tried it on a few different occasions out of a few different pipes. There is this, and I hate to say it but almost menthol like synthetic smell I detect when I smell the container. I smell it through the rum as kinda of an aftersmell or linger, if thats a good way to describe it. I have a very good sense of smell.
The burn is way too hot no matter how slow you smoke it. I am a serious pipe smoker and was really surprised how quick and bad this stuff could bake the roof of my mouth. I have had on every bowl a long lasting acrid taste in my mouth that nothing but time will remove. Seriously I just smoked another bowl tonight to finalize my opinion and my mouth tastes so bad right now from it. I smoked a couple hours ago! I am starting to wonder what the taste is from because nothing natural lingers like this, not even hot peppers.
If this stuff was 10 bucks a pound I could understand better. Also if this is how Mcbarren tobacco tastes in general I will not ever order or try anymore. There is plenty of tobacco like this available for a fraction of the cost. And at a local drug store.
From me this one gets one of the lowest ratings ever. I seriously want to throw it away! Horrible plain and simple. What a waste of time and money.
Update: I still hate this but I gave it to a good friend who smokes menthol cigs and sometimes a pipe. He agreed it had a menthol like smell and taste/sensation and he is smoking it. He says it is tollerable but not great and is only smoking it since he has it on hand.

I don't know whether ULR is a hybrid of McBaren's Regular Blend or the opposite. But throughout the pouch I had the strong feeling that I was smoking a little bit heavier and bity version of the Regular Blend. The truth is that I've searched the rum in vain, both in flavor and taste of the tobacco. What I've encountered is that same McBaren-ish taste of their modern, caramel syrup, Cavendish, with a hint of something that they must add in the Regular Blend... If you want to keep your tongue safe and sound, for Uncle Louie is a bitter, get the Regular Blend. Me, I'll just ignore it.
