Mac Baren Club Blend

This blend, as for Roll Cake itself, are all the same tobaccos, expect for minor differences. The rolls are cool,it's really different, the quality excellent, but they loose their flavor and taste way too quickly. Within a week, all taste is gone.

Good tobaccos for the beginner that wants something a bit stronger, without a doubt but any experienced smoker that hasn't "flirted" with MacBaren - if any- should stay away from the roll cakes.

Club Blend has a very good Virginia. On the first light you can smell and taste the sweetness Virginia coming out of the pipe. The cavendish comes out now and then that gives this blend a perfect note. I suggest not to rub all of the tobacco you need in the pipe, only the first and the last. If done so, you will need only two lights and have a perfect smoke. Small puffs will be needed for this blend. If you rub all of the tobacco in the pipe or if you are a fast smoker, it'll flame your tongue like all MB's. Recommended for all Virginia lovers A perfect all day blend for me.

I couldn't get a distinct taste out of this blend, mainly because my tongue felt like it had blisters on it. the aroma from the smoke was very pleasant and mild. Definitely a case of the MB bite.

A nice tobacco,if you use caution. To me it has a honey,sugar and pepper in the background aroma. But be warned it will bite the old tongue if puffed very fast. I smoke this in a tall narrow pipe, and I just stuff the coins in the bowl. Keep plenty of pipe cleaners handy. I dont smoke this often, but when I do it is a nice change of pace.

Luckily, I didn't find this to be the flamethrower that others reported. But I was warned and took a very wary approach.

The cavendish wasn't over the top, and the Va was pleasant enough.

I rubbed it out completely and let it dry for a good while. Even as dry as it was, it did seem to try to get a bit steamy from time to time.

Go slow, keep the pipecleaners handy and you should be OK. Or better yet, smoke something else that doesn't require so much attention. If you do try this one, I suggest a well broken-in pipe for it.

This reminds me of Dark Twist only with cavendish in every slice. If sipped slowly this a very slow and cool burning rewarding smoke in flavor and aroma. Be forwarned though, absent minded puffing will result in a cooked tounge.

One of the best of MacBarens' Blends. My recommendation is don't rub it out, just fold and stuff it in a cheap filter pipe (Dr.Grabow) and go slowly. You will be rewarded with a rich and long lasting smoke. Requires some attention and not for mindless puffing, it will bite!

The only thing I can really add, this is an exquisit Virgina Blend that gets better as you smoke the bowl of tobacco to the bottom.

If you are a connoisseur of the Virginia Blended Tobaccos, this is a must try blend.

I smoked the Club Blend in a Stokkebye Pipe, I did not notice any tongue bite, although, as with any Virginia Blend tobaccos, one must take their time to enjoy the taste while smoking this blend slow and easy.

First tobacco in my first pipe (it was thirty years ago or so). Taste was pleasant as I remember and now, it is the same. It was the same through the years. Club is the Mac Baren's best blend I guess, fully recommended.
