Mac Baren: Cherry Ambrosia 3.5oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-039-0045

To achieve the delightful taste in this blend, Mac Baren has selected some very special Virginia and added ready-rubbed Burley. The taste is adjusted with their Modern Cavendish made from pure Virginia tobaccos. As a final touch, genuine Jamaica rum and a special cherry flavor have been added. This blend gives you a cool and pleasant smoke with a taste of delightful cherries.

A Pleasant Experience
June 14, 2023
Product: Mac Baren Cherry Ambrosia 3.5oz
Taste is tart but smooth, with a good creamy flavor. Room note is a pleasant cherry that isn't overbearing. It's a good cherry tobacco and worth a try, even if it's not my favorite cherry. I like 7 Seas Red better, but that's more of a true cherry tobacco.

Reminds me of the old cherry pipe tobacco in the pouch at Dick’s Food Mart

I thought I would try the Mac Baren Cherry Ambrosia thinking it would have a nice room note and pleasant taste/flavor. CONS: Well, it does not have a distinctively strong room note as expected. it is kinda on the mellow side. The taste appears somewhat lost as well. One has to work on preventing tongue bite. PROS: The Mac Baren Cherry Ambrosia does burn very consistent when using the Otto Walter method. Compared to other Mac Baren blends it falls in the so so category....Read More

This is a tasty one. Let it air out for an attempt at less tongue bite. Sip it slow and it is an enjoyable cherry smoker. Mix it with the MB vanilla and symphony for a cherry vanilla chocolate delight! Now we're havin fun

I ordered this blend only because it is a Mac Baren product. I haven't liked any cherry blends that I've tried so far and I thought this one might be different. Well, I have to say it didn't have the chemicaly cherry taste that I've experienced with others, but I also don't taste cherry at all. However, the tobacco itself is pretty good and I can smoke it all day which is why I gave it four stars. With that being said, I won't buy again after this tin is gone....Read More
Excellent tobacco with a nice topping

Product: Mac Baren Cherry Ambrosia 3.5oz
Ignoring the cherry flavour, this is, at its core, an excellent tobacco blend which burns consistently and cool. The cherry topping pairs nicely with the chocolaty burley and cavendish mixture to create a beautiful flavour and aroma. The blend is consistently cool and sweet using a variety of pipes and packing styles. It exemplifies the kind of high quality tobacco I've come to expect from Mac Baren....Read More
Smooth Light Flavor

Product: Mac Baren Cherry Ambrosia 3.5oz
Smokes smooth with nice room note. Very light on the Cherry, yet flavorful. Just a hint of Ambrosia. No bite. Excellent relaxing smoke.
Color me shocked!

Not sure what I was expecting when I purchased this other than the usual "cherry aromatic" but wow, this is NOT your typical Cherry Aromatic. Fantastic light, smooth smoke, the Virginia really lightens this up. Not sugary like many other Cherry cavendish blends.
Cherry? Yes. Ambrosia? Not so much.

Two lousy stars...yeah, let me start by saying that I DO like many Mac Baren brand tobaccos. Not to mention how many other brands they bring to the States for us (Capstan and St. Bruno being favorites of mine). But, they do have a bit of a reputation for burning hot, especially the Virginias and that's where Cherry Ambrosia lost me. As for the quality of leaf, the cherry aroma, the cut, the fancy tin design...all worked for me. I even like the 100g option. But when it comes down to it, I might still have some of this somewhere because I didn't return to it very much. Why? It simply was too harsh. It seemed to burn fast even if sipped at the slowest cadence I could manage and after the first third of the bowl all I got was hot air taste. My best friend has often said “Any aromatic that starts out smelling that good but loses its flavor quickly, just isn't worth your time and money”. I do try to keep an open mind that this may be just what some pipers want, but I felt I should at least share my experience and let others proceed with that in mind. If you like cherry aros, I personally feel there are many, many others out there, that are far cheaper too, that make for a much more enjoyable smoke. Lane Limited: Very Cherry comes to mind first. In full disclosure, I'm not a huge fan of cherry tobaccos, but I want to stress that it was not the cherry flavoring that ruined this for me. It was just too hot to handle....Read More
