Mac Baren Golden Extra
(3.16)
Since Golden Extra was introduced, it has gained many, many fans all over the world – rightly so. The special selected brown burley tobaccos, treated with a distinctive flavor and mixed with just a touch of golden Virginia, are carefully pressed and stored. The large slices are cut and partly rubbed up, which makes this blend easy to fill into your pipe. This slowly burning burley based blend is very satisfying and you will enjoy the slight note of chocolate – a note that all good burley tobacco produces naturally.
Notes: Introduced in 1954.

This stuff tastes like Symphony (or Harmony as it is called in Europe) which is to say it has no flavor or fragrance. It's like drawing warm air through a pipe.

It's just OK for me. Nothing stands out. Perfect moisture, lights and burns well. Doesn't really bite, although it teased my tongue like it wanted to. I don't get chocolate at all. MAYBE a teeny bit nutty, and sometimes peppery. Not grassy. Room notes are mild, but not really aromatic, more of just a lack of anything strong. They kind of remind of old school Camel cigarettes, non-filter. I guess this would be ok to smoke all day to pass the time, but the stuff is way too expensive to use that way.
