Mac Baren Halberg Yellow
(2.67)
From three continents Mac Baren has gathered hand-selected Virginias and Burleys for this blend, then dividing them into portions that will be ribbon cut, cross-cut, or pressed and cut into flake, before all finally rejoining each other to produce balanced burn qualities and complex natural flavor profile. The results of this are then topped with a careful dose of fruit and vanilla aromatics, to create one of their finest artisanal blends.

Mac Baren - Halberg Yellow.
I hadn't been too excited about popping this one, I've not found the others in the Halberg Aromatic series to be anything exceptional; but, seeing as I'd bought all three, with this being the last one, I thought I'd give it a go.
Like the other ones in the Halberg Aromatic range, it's packaged superbly: a roomy box; giving space for the blend to breathe. Then it lights easily and gives a good burn. Up to now it seems similar; let's look at the actual smoking quality:
I quite like this one. The expected tastes are all present: citrus, fruit, and a hint of vanilla, but it's a nicely rounded experience; there doesn't seem to be much sharpness nor acidity.
I was concerned that this, like the other two, was going to burn hotter than the pits of Hades, but to my surprise, it doesn't. Without a doubt, this is the cooler of the three; I had to swap to a cob halfway through my first bowl of Halberg Green as I feared my Nording's finish would bubble and blister, but this causes no worry at all!
The nicotine amount is similar to the others: about medium. As is the room-note: pleasant.
This is quite good, probably the best of the three, but like the others it's nothing exceptional so it doesn't deserve full marks!
Three stars.
