Mac Baren Green Velvet
(2.90)
Black as night. Soft as velvet. Green Velvet, a new tobacco blend consists solely of fermented Virginia tobaccos. A unique pro-tobacco production technology gives a slightly glossy surface.
Despite the dark colour of the velvet tobacco - a result of the fermentation process - it is soft, gentle and very 'tongue-friendly'. The tobacco burns slowly and develops more and more flavour and aroma.

Interesting blend. It is indeed extremely gentle and mild, really lite, while there is a lot of taste. I feel two distinctive flavors: very dark chocolate (a bit too much for me) and... well... Here's how I would put it: if you want to seduce the kind of lady who puts potpourri pots everywhere in her house, smoking this in her presence will give your relationship a boost. Well, those ladies are not my taste.
But. If you like to mess around with your tobaccos, and mix them, Green Velvet can be a very nicely used spice. And I mean spice, I used around 10% or less of it each time. It gives a nice touch to some other tobaccos. But I can live without it. Careful with storage, it dries very fast.

Nice surprise from the mac Baren House. The flavour is great (some sort of chocolate/orange cake), has no bite and no goo at the bottom of your bowl. Non smokers love the aroma so this is a great social tobacco. A little bit superior than his red brother.
