Mac Baren Red Velvet
(1.83)
Black as night. Soft as velvet. An exceptional Virginia blend created using the unique Mac Baren production techniques. The blend has a soft and sweet flavour combined with a slight citrus edge. Red Velvet has a pleasant aroma when smoked.

Same characteristics as the green version but it looses flavour (citrics/vanilla maybe?) along the way. I like it but i like more the green one.

In my opinion, flavored Virginias hardly ever work (let´s not step into the McClelland ketchup debate for once). Unlike Green Velvet, this one is heavily cased and imprints the leaf with a citric/honey taste that obstructs the quality of the tobacco.

After 12 years of pipe smoking, I have had troubles lighting up the Red Velvet... The blend is a little bit wet! besides I have checked www.Mac-Baren.com and couldn't find anything trace of either Green or Red Velvet in there!

This is a nice tobacco, not so dry and that will reflect on your tries to lit it. The smell is good as well as the tobacco flavor. In my opinion I think green velvet is better than the Red one.
