Mac Baren Cherry Choice

Very unstable quality: for three times I tried to smoke it, only once mixture was in good state with acceptable humidity and burned cool. Two other times tobacco was very wet, and after small drying it lost most of its flavoring, burned hot and constantly tried to extinguish.

If you're dying for aromatics, maybe you can smoke.

VILE WEED!!! Cherry Choice won't be my choice again.

This tobacco produces a nice smell, but sensed mostly by the nearby people and just little by the smoker. After several times the smell begins to annoy as the most artificaly flawored blends. Produces a lot of tar.

The second tobacco I put in my pipe after a 7 year hiatus.

Stay away from it.

09/19/2005 This mixture consists of a lot of ribbon and coarse-cut cherry Burley and Cavendish Aromatics with a bit(about 10-15%)of broken (Virginia?) Flake added. It is quite tasty and more the Danish style rather than American. However, I am convinced there is no way to make a Cherry flavored tobacco without it being a biter. I am going with four stars in spite of this attribute as it is the best Cherry blend I have encountered so far. As far as I know this can only be purchased from www.pipesandcigars.com. Update- 11/05/2006: Down-rated due to tongue-bite issues. If you can smoke most MacB's blends safely and enjoy Cherry flavored real tobacco I recommend it. If you have a tender tongue steer clear.

Reading the description of this blend provided by Mac Baren it was difficult to believe they were describing the tobacco in the bowl of my pipe. Whether it be from the Virginias, or simply the fact that this blends burns very hot, it will bite, so take it easy. The bite was enough for me give this blend a low recommendation, but after the first few puffs during lighting, one can detect a faintly sweet taste of cherry, but after the furnace is fully lit, the smoke takes on a very harsh taste that lasts clear to the bottom of the bowl.

I could be that I haven't tried the right Mac Baren aromatic, but this is third one, and by far the worst of the 3. At least the other 2 didn't burn so hot that it made it difficult to hold on to the bowl. Even though cherry flavored aromatics are not one of my favorites, I've smoked some (Lane and Altadis) that are far superior. There are some that may find this blend to their liking, but I simply can't recommend it.

F. Prefect

De cuerpo y sabor agradable, es un tabaco que deja una nota de habitación bastante agradable, incluso para los que nunca fumaron en pipa.

When you open a pouch you get nice but faint cherry smell. This tobacco burns very well. Good for beginners because it's hard to get tongue bite. Cherry flavour is almost nonexistent and rum flavour isn't present during the smoke at all, as aromatic tobacco fan I was disappointed.
