Mac Baren Classic Mixture (Formerly Vanilla Cream) Pipe Tobacco 40g Pouch

Date Added: Saturday 29 August, 2020 by Antony

Mac Baren Classic Loose Cut proved to be pleasant enough, but slightly underwhelming due to the many enthusiastic reviews online. It is accurately described elsewhere as vanilla ice cream tobacco, but this is something of a back-handed compliment, depending on your tastes. As with all Mac Baren tobaccos I've tried, the cut and moisture is excellent, save for the odd twig. I found the aromas and tastes inviting without being alluring. The depth of the smoke is questionable, but then so is that of vanilla ice cream. Some will find this smoke to exceed their expectations; some will be underwhelmed.
Wouldn't rush to buy again, but if someone offered me a pinch, I'd find it hard to turn down. Well worth your time and money if you're searching for a "vanilla" smoke, in both senses of the word.
