About This Pipe Tobacco

Mac Baren's Navy Flake is an exceptionally smooth smoke mixed from the finest Virginias with a taste of Burley and Cavendish, enhanced with rum and a touch of honey to create a blend with a slow, cool smoke.

The flavors are there, but it falls flat and performs poorly.

The flake seems both too moist in the chamber (requiring drying while smoking) and dry and brittle when rubbed out. Requires frequent relights despite dryness and proper preparation. Also seems to be excessively bitey for a blend tempered with Cavendish and Burley. I have a hard time getting along with this one. Makes me miss the coolness and ease of a finer mixture or flake with similar ingredients, so I tend to avoid it if alternatives are available....Read More

A Flawed Favorite

With a bit of age the tin note smells to me exactly like Martinelli's sparkling cider. The balance of richness and sweetness in the Burleys and Virginia kept me coming back for more and were perfectly complimented by a honey like sweetness and some complexity from the rum. Its a few steps heavier than some Navy Flakes and at its best tastes like honey on toast. It was fairly temperamental, however, and sharp edges came out relatively easily. For a sipping tobacco, I was in love, but am heartbroken by the price....Read More

PG/VG Additives

Product: Mac Baren Navy Flake 16oz
All my Baren/HH flakes are drying out, due to nonsense additives. I just opened a jar with more than three years of age, and it's so dry the flakes are impossible to fold. They just crumble. I'm noticing this with all my Baren/HH: Navy Flake, Burley Flake, Dark Twist, Pure VA, Vanilla, Golden Extra (broken flake), etc., etc. They're all drying out despite airtight storage and the insides of the jars are clouding. When those two things happen together — cloudy jars and dried out flakes — you know they've used Glycols and other additives as humectants for false moisture and heavier weight. The flavors become increasingly bitter the older these additives get, because they go rancid. I'm not surprised, but I am incredibly disappointed. My stocks from 2020 and older are okay, but ones from 2021 and later all look like this. This is bad news. What a waste. Unless I learn that the issue has been resolved, I will not buy Mac Baren/HH again....Read More

Crack....for a more discerning pallet.

This stuff is addictive. You have to take it "low and slow" and just let the smoke gently caress your tongue, but the flavors burst all over your mouth like juicy fruit. I salivate the entire time I'm smoking it. My favorite by far.
