It's Just Ok

Product: Mac Baren Virginia Flake 1.75oz
Nothing really special about this flake in my opinion. The flavors don't really develop too much and stay pretty consistent all the way through. The topping on this one is a little bit cloying to me, not a huge fan. The room not is amazing though! Worth trying at least once.

A nice alternative or addition to Capstan Blue.

Product: Mac Baren Virginia Flake 1.75oz
I enjoy Capstan, but at $24 a tin, it gets expensive, so I decided to try Mac Beran Virginia Flake. I was not disappointed, as the tobacco is quite excellent. The small tin and foil wrapping give a similar experience to Capstan, with a gold rather than blue presentation. The tin note offers a sweet citrus aroma that is very pleasing, and the moist, easy-to-rub flakes prepared the tobacco well for my pipe. The smoke can be hot, so a slow draw is recommended. It smokes steadily from start to finish, and I can easily draw out the citrus flavors. I have already bought two more tins and a six-year-aged tin to try. This will definitely become part of my weekly rotation, along with my Capstan Blue....Read More

Good, sweet, simple

Product: Mac Baren Virginia Flake 1.75oz
This tobacco can burn hot. It's not one I'd recommend for beginners. So maybe I just haven't got the knack of this blend yet, but it seems unidimensional to me. It's a nice, honey-sweet virginia with lots of bready, malty, lemony flavor. It's not particularly interesting, doesn't develop much through the bowl. But it's reliable and tasty, once you get the packing and cadence right for it....Read More

Outstanding

Product: Mac Baren Virginia Flake 1.75oz
Thus stuff is top notch. The flakes are beautiful in the tin. It has a subtle sweetness. I enjoy it young and with a couple of years aging. I’m 67 so laying down tobacco is less viable- I am more in consumption years. Highly recommended 4.5 stars

Cheap Capstan
March 07, 2025
By: Elijah B.
Product: Mac Baren Virginia Flake 1.75oz
Capstan Blue is one of my all-time favorite smokes, though I can’t indulge in it as often as I’d like due to the price. While the difference isn’t huge, smoking a bowl daily adds up. It’s about $5 cheaper per tin, and I’d say that translates to being about $5 less flavorful—but even a slightly muted Capstan is still a fantastic smoke. It delivers a familiar earthy profile with a gentle honey-like sweetness and a touch of nuttiness from the Burley. Highly recommended....Read More
