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.

I got a free sample of this with a tobacco order. The bag smelled like the nail polish remover that my wife uses. Against my better judgment I set aside my loathing for Mac Baren and loaded a small bowl. Imagine burning cardboard that has been soaked in Fruit Punch Kool-aid. There isn't a toothpaste on Earth that can get that taste out of my mouth. The only reason this toxic concoction deserves a review is that it might save someone from having to try it. It really is *that* bad.

Modern Virginia Flake has become one of my favorites. I blew through a tin of the flake at recored pace so when I received a sample of the loose cut from Smoking pipes, I was ecstatic as I figured it would be like the flake... same bacca and flavoring, except loose cut for easy packing.. right?
Wrong.
Modern Virginia Loose cut is nothing like it's brother Flake! Flake has more flavor in both topping and tobacco. The Flake version is by far sweeter and has a nice balance of flavoring and tobacco taste! MV Flake burns slower and cooler and has a richer color!
Modern Virginia Loose cut in my opinion is weak in tobacco flavor and aroma. The taste is overall weak. It was like a lighter tasteless hot-burning version of the Flake. Even the color of the tobacco is much lighter than its Flake version.
The loose tobacco burns hot and overall the room note is not there. The loose cut does burn to a super fine ash and cleans easy and that's the best I can say for it. I'm disappointed in the loose cut and would not recommend it at this time.
I highly recommend sticking to the Flake version and rubbing it out if you like a loose cut.

Nothing special about this tobacco. Taste like cigarettes. Can not recommend it. However no tongue bite. Lights and keeps easily lit. Burns to white ash.

I've received several sample pouches of this blend, very well packaged by the manufacturer as far as samples go and that's about the only positive thing I can say. Truly unfortunate when the packaging exceeds the quality of the product it was designed to house. It's so bad that I now decline the free sample when I checkout my online tobacco order. It has notes that remind me of Clan, both in the pouch and the pipe. Take that however you want to....If you like Clan you may like this. In this case the sample saved me money, anguish and disappoint.
