Mac Baren Honey & Chocolate

Great tin aroma. Tons of billowing smoke--great for blowing smoke rings! No tongue bite. Burns quickly down to the bottom of the bowl. Not memorable taste, though--I am anxious to finish my first tin, to be done with it.

I'm sorry, normally I don't post negative reviews but with this offering I feel I must. If you can imagine filling a bowl with charcoal and then lighting it thats what I felt each time I tried to smoke this, hot hot air and very little else. Not a blend to be sitting in my collection for long, very disappointing and not recommended I'm afraid.

N.B. I tried this again. I broke all the rules in the book and emptied the bowl while it was still lit, such was my disgust. diabolical, in the bin with that tin.

my second chocolate blend found that it holds its own against chocolate silk and if i couldnt get chocolate silk this is an excellent substitue packs well great room note all in all another worthy macbaren blend

WOW! MacBaren aka "MacBlowtorch" has finally scored a Touchdown with this blend. If you are an Aromaphile or not, you cannot go wrong with this blend....Very "old-timey" in my humble opinion. Also, if you are fan of Nicotine, this one does not lack a little kick. My Grandfather smoked the "old-time" Aromatics, and many of them had quite a bit of "Vitamin N"....If you want to try something truly wonderful, give this Macbaren Aromatic a try!

I have tried other "chocolate" blends before and all of them fell rather flat in taste. This was the exception. It smells and tastes great, providing a soft honey and cocoa smell and flavor. Exceptional with a good cup of cofee. However, it did dry out my mouth and throat so I'd hesitate to smoke this without something to wet the palette. The flavor fluctuates from a soft cocoa to a dark chocolate taste. The flavor doesn't change much (or lessen) all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Love this one.

I am not an expert by a long shot but my tastes have setteled more toward non aromatics mostly vapers, so I was quite suprized to find that a honey and chocolate blend did not end up in the back of the pile with the rest of the aromatics I did'nt like, waiting for the day my tastes might change. This one to me tastes like good tobacco with a little coco added. I like that the chocolate is bitter and I don't notice the honey, smells like something to eat in the tin but is easy to lite and burns well with no goop in my pipe, who knows I might go back and give some of the others another try.

The only tobacco I disliked more than this was Blue Note.

One of the earlier reviewers was spot on in his description of the taste and room note - it's like a fudge brownie. This is a wonderful blend and I recommend it to smokers who like aros.

Wow! Really like this MacBaren offering. I have only tried Plumcake and Scottish mixture from the MacBaren line and this is a different kind of treat. What I liked was that the deep, fragrant aroma of dark chocolate and cocoa was achieved with such a dry mixture of leaves. This tobacco burned so easily and cool. Definitely a healthy helping of Perique in this cavendish mix which is much to my liking and the interplay between this nose-tickling tobacco and dark chocolate was truly outstanding. Smells like a fresh brownie in the tin but the room note when smoked is that of freshly brewed dark coffee and hickory. Truly a full-bodied tobacco with the sweeter elements of chocolate being found only in the aftertaste for myself. Packs an unexpected nicotine buzz which was quite enjoyable as well. Four solid stars.
