Mac Baren Cube

I bought a few ounces of this stuff and really wanted to like it. But the strong fruit basket aroma just wouldn't let me get to the finer qualities of the tobacco. I also had a very difficult time getting the CUBE to burn. I tried several degrees of dryness (it looses all flavor when totally dry) and several pipes (a mistake since the flavor lingered for about ten bowls). When it did burn for more than a minute, it did wierd things to flesh in my mouth! Never again my friend.

To lovers of Aromatics this one hits a homerun. The flavor is much like tropical fruit. The smell is also much like Pomegranat or Mango with some Kiwi and Oranges. The room note smells like what is in the can. I can understand giving this a lower review given that I am not big into aromatics. However I like the room note and the aroma to much to kick it out of the house. No, this one sticks around incase I want an aromatic, or incase a guest comes by. I wonder though is the casing safe to smoke? As fruity as it is its like smoking a bowl of skittles. My Personal Notes are a 9.4 for an aromatic it is wonderful. If not in the mood for an aromatic this is down right nasty.

Reading the reviews i was almost put off trying the 1oz in my sample pack. I just love this tabacco. Cube is easy to smoke, i don't get any bite and the tase is just what i was looking for.

My son tells me it reminds him of a new car smell, (not sure about that one).

Have just ordered more in the big posh tin.

Heavily cased and packs one hell of a bite, which shouldn't be too surprising since it's a Mac Baren product. I wouldn't give this tobacco to my worst enemy. Well...maybe my worst enemy.

Being a Latakia lover means this is not my first choice in tobaccos. I do like a change of pace so I decided to get a cube and have a whirl at it. My first impression was the tin aroma being very strong. The smell of fruit was akin to a strawberry wine. I can say that I was not expecting anything good to come after that whiff. I decided to press onward, and give it a try. What I was next surprised by was the fact that for being as heavy an aromatic as it is it was not very wet. That was a definite plus. It also packed well and required two matches to smoke the entire bowl (another plus). The taste of fruit was overwhelming and quite honestly too much for my taste. There was no goo on the heal of my pipe either. Considering the burning characteristics and room note I would recommend trying this blend, but not enthusiastically.

Mac Baren's CUBE is arguably the best aromatic from this manufacturer. I smoke aromatics and non-aromatics, so I tend to smoke CUBE on a rotation, usually after diner with a nice espresso and a single malt whiskey. It burns nicely and tastes consistently. Room aroma is outstanding. The best thing about it is that it is not a heavy sugary sickly aromatic like many others, it rather draws aroma naturally, a little sweetness together with sour, just a little. Absolutely wonderful and highly recommended.

This is a very interesting blend. It seems to change with the dryness of the product. It is full of various berry tastes, yet has a coconut after taste at times. It is however hard to keep lit due to the casings. But the burn is even and taste seems consistent throughout the bowl. Room note seems to be of berries and nutty essence. It is a very sweet blend and good as a change of pace during the day. Burns for a long time so a full bowl can last for some time. I recommend this for the sweet tooth times. Packaging is very unique but does not lend itself to transport. I like the box very much and it looks good on the nightstand.

this is my number one fruity tobacco and it is a great piece of attraction. sweet and some times very sweet taste to it with an easy to pack cut and great burning quality. the room note is wonderful. although i adore this tobacco but even for me i cannot consider it as an all day smoke due to the sweetness it holds, however for aromatic/fruity tobacco i must recommend it.

I have to say I enjoyed this tobacco with its sweet taste & aroma. It reminded me of my childhood days gone bye, the smell of toffee & caramel from a roasted popcorn. I'm going to try the following mixes of Cube with BBF, Cube/FVF, Cube/OG. We all have to try different mixes of tobaccos to satisfy ones own pleasures.
