I found this to be a tolerable Virginia. It starts off well, but as the bowl progresses, I start to notice a sweetness that was not of 'natural origin'? It just didn?t seem to belong. I think the quality of the leaf was fine, but if they wanted to add something, it should have been some other form of Va, rather than the casing they opted for. Once that flavoring takes over, it's relentless.
It may be MacBarens? No. 1, but it isn?t my first choice.

This is another pleasant tin of weed from our fellow Brothers of the Briar- MacBaren!!! They are certainly one of the most consistent tobacco manufacturers out there. I find their tobacco to contain some sentinmental factor that takes me back to the time before I smoked a pipe and just wished that I did whenever I was around someone who was. That being said, this is a tasty VA with just a touch of honey, very similiar to the technique they used with Burley for Navy Flake. I still prefer NF more, but this is a nice change of pace. Although MB blends do smoke a little warm sometimes, I am amazed at their reputation for tongue bite, especially when compared to some other brands out there like McClelland. This is good pipe Baccy!
