Mac Baren Rum & Maple
(2.54)
A familiar old classic, this blend expertly mixes bright Virginias and rich burleys with the contrasting flavors of rum and maple. An interesting and pleasant smoke.
Notes: Once sold as Tinderbox Mashpee Maple. Lane discontinued the blend, and it was re-released by Planta (Germany). Currently sold as "R&M" due to changed regulations, the full name of the 50 gram pouch version is "Original R and M Blend No. 53".

Rum and Maple is a robust American blend. Its simplicity and richness is a sharp contrast to my usual cavendish. Although I detected no rum and I have doubts that any maple is present, I appreciated this tobacco's honesty. The sharpness of flavor inspired me to experiment mixing with mellow cavendishes; yielding a pleasant, deep smoke. That which makes Rum and Maple a suitable mixer is what will make this tobacco only an occasional treat for me. If you've got a lonely weekend to burn, alleviate your boredom with a mixing marathon; you are sure to discover a satisfying new blend.

This is one beautiful old tobacco. Another childhood smoke of mine. Original Blend No.53
No berry blast. No smothering in vanilla. No choking on chocolate. Just a light hint of something in the background. I reckon it's the maple? I can't detect the rum.
A nice smooth burley. This stuff never did get sour or bitter. It never did smoke wet. No gurgles.
Refer to Eulenburg's review above. He's given this blend justice where justice is due.
I paid $2.09 for mine.
