[QUOTE="lestrout, post: 524156, member: 282"] At Watch City Cigar in Framingham, MA, I spotted this replacement for the HH Vintage Syrian. I popped the tin last night and liked it very much. The VintSyr is one of my faves, and though I treasure Samovar and several of Pease's extinct Syrians, in general I prefer the zing and punchiness of Cyprian blends over the fruitier, more restrained Syrians. For instance, I prefer Three Oaks to its Syrian counterpart, and Legends to Wilderness. Likewise with the Frog Cellar, compared to Across The Pond. Anyhow, I'm now trying to figure out which blend to demote out of the Top300 Cellar so as to make space for this new MacBaren. It is a nice medium Balkan/English, almost an all-dayer and in the general flavor spectrum of the VintSyr. The new blend may be more complex than the older blend, even though that one stands out from the run-of-the-mill Balkans with the counterpoint from the Kentucky dark-fired, which provides a nice bass note. Even with just the one bowl under my belt, this new replacement has already won a place in my heart. hp les [/QUOTE]
