Mac Baren Black Ambrosia

(2.25)
Ambrosia is just savoring the word elevates your expectations, because ambrosia was the food of the gods and goddesses in Greek mythology. In 1983 when our tobacco masters first tasted the new, mild cavendish that they had developed, ambrosia was the only proper word to use to describe the taste experience. They had been experimenting with a variety of raw tobaccos for a long time before they finally came up with the right blend. Virginia tobaccos from the third world were selected, each with its own unique qualities. Each one was an excellent tobacco in its own right, but only when they were blended together into a mild cavendish did the pipe smoker experience something out of the ordinary. A rounded taste composed of the finest taste nuances, the natural sweetness supported by a completely new Mac Baren taste. This cavendish was truly something extraordinary, and from its completion in 1983 right up to today it has been used in numerous new Mac Baren blends. The rounded, slightly sweetish cavendish is widely known as: Modern Mac Baren Cavendish. As the name suggests, Black Ambrosia contains a very high proportion of Modern Mac Baren Cavendish, with only a little loose cut light Virginia added. This blend consists solely of Virginia tobaccos, which is rather rare as the majority of blends contain a little burley tobacco. But not Black Ambrosia, which is made of 100% Virginia tobacco and yet the taste is still exquisite. As the last person to add to the taste, the tobacco master has been no less genial. Of course, the precise composition of the tobacco is a secret, but here is a hint: to complete the Modern Mac Baren Cavendish, the tobacco master has carefully added a blend of different fruit oils, and topping the finished blend is a touch of [?}. Taste it for yourself and discover what an extraordinary taste experience it offers. With a little prudence, Black Ambrosia could almost be described as: food for the soul and the tobacco lover.

Not exactly my favorite but it is nice and light for those who do not want a heavy tobacco.

A typical MacBaren Experience for me (Golden Ambrosia and Mixture are in a different league). Nothing to write home about. (Why, then, write here is a mystery yet to be answered).

I will finish the pouch and not bother with it again... Nothing particularly objectionable; simultaneously nothing special.

MacBarens? Black Ambrosia is certainly black, but is nothing like a Cavendish. The cut makes it easy to light, and it burns well. Beyond that, I wonder, ?Why bother?? I do not find the tobacco offensive, but I do not find either taste or aroma to be particularly pleasant. I suspect that people who might enjoy Black Ambrosia can be happy with other products that are not so expensive.

2 stars because of the good tobaccos used, but the extreme flavouring puts me off. I've smoked some bowls and then left the pouch somewhere around home; it popped up from a drawer months later and, believe it or not, it was still as fresh as when I first opened the pouch. Incredible!

When I was buying my first pipe I asked tobacconist what beginners tobacco does he recommend to me and it was Mac Baren Original Choise and Black Ambrosia. first few bowls of BA seemed to me a little harsh on my tongue and interestingly flavored.I did get a lot of tongue bite but it was due to my lack of smoking technique.Later when I learned to employ the breath method tounge bites stopped and I could experience the true tobacco as it is for me and this is my opinion. This is mild citrusy flavored tobacco with bland taste but still a little harsh on tongue like some chemical reaction.It is ok to try but nothing special for me.Would not buy it again.

It burns good, aroma is correct, but anyway it's nothing special. In my opinion this tobacco is quite boring. Good choice if someone don't like full, sweet aromas. For me it's flat. There are many better aromatic tobaccos from Mac Baren.

It's an interesting blend. Good, but mild. I like it, and it leaves a subtle after taste. I'd give it three stars, but I find it a bit to gentle for my taste. But I would definitely recommend it, especially to beginners. Personally I wouldn't have this one for a daily smoke, but it's definitely good for every now and then.

I have still 40gr of the 100 gr tin, but I dont feel the "ambrosia"... This tobacco is mild, but tends a bite (this is no occured in my smoke), This is my second blend from Mac Baren's blends and I'm not convinced, I will prove others blends from this house... around this blend I can say would be better if these tins were made ​​in tins of 50 g. The smell are amazing, the taste are common, your burn is irregular... I will not buy this blend another time. There are others aromatic blends better than this and more cheap.

An interesting light blend that does mix well with few others. Not my favorite, but other aromatic lovers may enjoy. The smell is amazing however the taste does not reflect. Maybe at a lower price, and a lot less tongue bite ,this would be worth it.

This was for me an OK aromatic, with a nice room note and fairly tasty. But with MAC's blends I have found that smaller pipes and --very-- gentle puffing are required. I'm a fan of the big Peterson bents and this tobacco really needs the patience that a small bowl can deliver. Wonderful tin aroma upon opening.
