I came into possession of this tin from a dear friend. Unfortunately the experience of smoking this tobacco was nowhere near the quality of our friendship. Nicely formed flakes, burned well, had a nice tin aroma. This blend was devoid of taste and the aroma was harshly flat. In addition this had the typical MB bite that worsened the experience further...if that could be so. I have found very few MB blends that agree with me and this one is added to the list of "not to smoke again."

This is just a strange tobacco. I don't know what the flavoring here is but I just don't like it. The flavors here seem confused and muddled to may tastes. No tobacco stands out here and the sum of the parts just doesn't work. Maybe I am incapable of detecting subtleties in blends but Hey!,that's all I've got to work with.
As hard as I try I just can't seem to connect with any of MacBaren's blends.

This one goes out of produkćtion and I can find nothing sad about this. I recently bought my second pouch(in Germany the 50gr package is a pouch with a little plastic tray) . The first one I bought was overly dry and I reclaimed it and get atin of Navy Flake instead because I supposed the other pouches not to be fresher. My recently experience is exactly the same. Don't know whether it is concept to deliver it bone dry or the very poor kind of packing do not work. It falls appart as soon as you take a flake out of the plastic tray. If you smoke it as it is, it tastes very bland and a little hot. But the most reason for this blend to be redundant: It is worse than the Mixture . And it is no flake in the common sense. You can not rub it to ribbons as long as a sliver. It breaks to really short crumbs much smaller than these in the Mixture. And the taste is... yes like Mixture but a little toned down because of the dryness Rest in Peace and never come back NOT RECOMMENDED

I'm not that sure what's going on for my tobacco, but I finish the whole tin, and every bow shows the same problem...over steam, over heat. I don't really know about the tast cause it bite me at the very beginning, so...I'm not going to have an other try before I can't buy any thing else.

This blend has a very fine flavor. I just find that there are too many others that a similiar and of much higher quality.
