I have very limited experience with Mac Baren aromatics, having mostly dabbled in their HH series blends. I do enjoy Aros on occasion...and I’m looking forward to Winter fireside puffing. So dipping a toe in this pond seemed like a good idea (at the time). Hey...what could go wrong?
I’ve never tried any of these, but they are very highly recommended by the nimrods at the Tobacco Review site.
1. Mac Baren MIXTURE Scottish Blend 100g tin
2. Mac Baren Golden Extra 2oz bulk
3. Mac Baren 7 Seas Black 4 Oz bulk
4. Amphora Special Reserve Black Cavendish 1.75oz pouch
5. Sillem’s Copenhagen Pipe Tobacco Tin - 50g
6. Stanwell Melange 1.75 Ounce Tin (2)
7. Country Squire White Rose - 2oz bulk
8. Country Squire Delta Honeydew - 2oz bulk
9. Country Squire Rivendell - 4oz bulk
10. Country Squire Meriwether - 4oz bulk
These will likely go into a meer (a medium CAO Holmes & Watson or a Falcon sporting a meer bowl) or one of seemingly a hundred MM cobs that litter my place like Fall leaves on the lawn. The Mixture Scottish Blend is supposed to do particularly well in a Cob...which is reported to ease its known tendency to bite if not treated with kid gloves.
Note: several of these are available in bulk and tins. I doubt that the Amphora is. Anyone out there with personal experience in how the tin might be different than the bulk...or do they taste and perform exactly Alike?
