Mac Baren Modern Virginia Loose Cut
(2.65)
Virginia, Modern Cavendish and burley are manufactured separately, and finally the tobaccos are gently hand blended into the final blend. The Modern Virginia Loose Cut is manufactured from Virginias out of 2 continents. Bright yellow and a darker Virginia have been used combined with a Modern Cavendish, to secure a soft and smooth smoke with a touch of burley. This blend provides you with the natural sweetness from the Virginia tobaccos combined with just a slight topping of sweet, ripe fruit. Furthermore your surroundings will appreciate the pleasant room note.

A mild sweet smoke. The fruity undertones are definitely there. It's a simple tobacco that burns pretty well. It's not anan outstanding smoke but it gets the job done. It used to be dirt cheap but not so anymore.

I received a free sample and was eager to try the blend. I was in a mood for a Virginia with some topping. Pouch notes are fruity . Lighting was easy but it can burn fast . It stays lit no problems. The first half of the bowl I got hints of fruit then on the second half it gets weak a little bit but it still present . The Virginia tobacco is not like the others from what I read not from the states and is not tangy like American Virginia . I do like the room notes but I would like to try the flakes since I prefer flakes. Modern Virginia is anice blend for anyone who likes aromatic tobacco and could be a stepping stone to more of the straight Virginia and VaPers out in the world.

It's a very nice blend. I thought it would be very sweet like Vanilla Cream; but it's not. The pineapple and apricot aromas are very subtle in the .7 oz sample offered by smokingpipes and they barely translate during the smoking. Mostly a golden coloured leaf, it smokes very well, is uncomplicated and very enjoyable. Hay based VA flavour coexist with the light fruit topping from beginning to end. The humidity level was ideal (minimal). Really, a fine new offering from Mac Baren, once more!

I started smoking this when I could no longer get McClellans #27 Virginia. This tobacco was a tasty Virginia treat, but like a lot of Mac’s products I just get way too much heat! Is this a processing of the Virginia’s......? I’ve smoked Mac’s blends for 30 or more years and the heat thing goes back that far for me. Otherwise a wonderful smoke that really reminds me of the old Erinmore Flake.
