Mac Baren HH Highland Blend
(2.81)
Fully matured Virginias, ready rubbed burleys, latakia and a touch of fire cured cavendish is the recipe. We added one of the worlds finest 30-year old Scotch whiskies, Glenfarclas. The natural flavours from the tobacco and the delightful taste of the Scotch marry perfectly, so when smoked you experience the mellow taste and subtle smoky note of the tobaccos combined with the overtone of a fine scotch.
Notes: Discontinued in 2014.

This is my first review here and I mostly use this site prior to making tobacco purchases. With that said, this stuff was bad enough to motivate me to write a review, albeit a negative review.
I like just about every Mac Baren product I have tried. The Vintage Syrian being one of my favorites.
On first draw my tongue was on fire. I tried to stay with it, but it bit hard. Also the smoke was very harsh. I was smoking a sample from a sealed pouch, so I assume it was stored well.
It room note was so bad, and it's the first time my wife came into the room while I am smoking and said that stuff stinks!

This tobacco looks great in the tin and smells good too. But like so many Mac Baren blends its just plain harsh. I enjoy strong tobacco and by harsh I mean not smooth. Its not a surprise that so many complain about tongue bite with their blends, it affects me the same way and I seldom get tongue bite. I am not sure if its an additive to their blends, but its not one that will hit my cellar again. Not Recommended.

A waste of good whiskey.
Plumcake with whiskey instead of rum as the casing. Like other Mac Barens, it bites like hell and is sour like an old dirty sock. Don't bother.
Update, 27 March 2012: I was given a free sample, and I forgot that I had tried it before. I must have blocked the unpleasant memories from my mind. It Is worse than I wrote above. Horrible!
