About This Pipe Tobacco

A bold flake of Dark-Fired Burleys in a well balanced unity with flue-cured Virginias. Mac Baren's HH Old Dark Flake is hot pressed, meaning that during the pressing, heat is added by steam to the tobaccos which causes the tobacco to intensify the marrying process, ultimately giving us a bolder tobacco. The robust, earthly flavor of the Dark-Fired Burleys shines through in the taste, and you will experience a deeply satisfying smoke.

Product: Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired 3.5oz
This tobacco is sensational. I prefer to just stuff and puff this flake. No dry time. My tin is fresh and very moist. Leathery, oily, and dark uniform cuts. It starts out strong with a little sharpness in the sinuses. The flavor is ok, but nothing to get excited about. About a quarter of the way through the bowl is when the tobacco begins to heat up and meld together releasing it's deeply satisfying, smoky, and vaguely sweet flavor. The occasional aggressive draw and quick cadence with pluming retro-hale invites rich hints of caramel, BBQ, and a faint unsweetened Cocoa. It's hard for me not to freight train this sublime flake. I just need to remember to enjoy the ride and preserve my tongue. The last quarter is completely and perfectly rich. Nirvana. I could smoke this every day. This was my first experience with dark fired Kentucky. Are they all this good? I can tell you HH Bold Kentucky definitely is. I can't decide between the two which I prefer. I smoked them nearly back to back and started with Bold Kentucky. The juxtaposition made Old Dark Fired seem less flavorful and mild. When I smoke only ODF, it seems perfect. If you're an animal like me, perhaps start with ODF. I think I'm going to keep them both around. Highly suggest loading up on them both. Would hate for these to disappear....Read More
A genuinely great tobacco.

I can't believe how good this blend is. I don't taste the virginias at all but It is "deeply satisfying", truly. I smoked a bowl of this for 50 minutes without relighting. I was ripping clouds and sipping, it didn't matter. It was the 12th pipe I'd ever smoked. I've only been smoking a pipe for 3 weeks and I feel like I picked one of the best so I came here to order more....Read More
The harmonious complexity of the flavor

The taste is very consistent from start to finish. Tin note is deep, dark chocolate over fermented raisins and exotic spices, over the rich, fermented dark-fired leaf, and if you keep sniffing you may detect the sharp-ish cigar notes. This is one excellent tobacco. Simply excellent!

You people talk how much nicotine is in pipe tobacco.If it's nicotine your looking for chew tobacco,smoke cigarettes,you will get 10 times more.Also you will get so much that you will have to smoke.When I smoked cigarettes I had to smoke,yes I said had to.Now that I smoke pipe I can go days without smoking and I am just fine.I am no longer hooked on nicotine.I smoke because I want to not because I have to!!!!!!...Read More
To strong for beginners

Product: Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired 3.5oz
This tobacco is very, very strong, almost like a full-bodied cigar. It is difficult to smoke; it burns hot and does not stay lit, even after drying for 45 minutes. Also, it is very high in nicotine, and caused me to become nauseous after accidentally inhaling a tiny bit of smoke. Not recommended for beginners or the timid....Read More
