Another Cigarette-Like Blend
April 29, 2018
Product: Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique 1.75oz
If you like Royal Yacht, you will like this and vice-versa. I do not like either. To me both blends taste like concentrated cigarette smoke with a topping of rotting green tomato. ----- I hate the stuff, but gave it a 3 as I wanted my review to be ... Read More
neutral. Just because I do not like this, does not mean it is not a quality product. Read Less
Highly recommended!

Rich, complex blend, very good tobaccos. Tanginess and spice predominate, with some nutty burley in the background.
although it can be smoked from time to time

Product: Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique 1.75oz
Mac Baren's products are not my preference, but because I am a fan of tobacco blends from the Virginia family, I decided to try this tobacco. Indeed, as declared by the manufacturer, the tobacco has no foreign tastes, burns evenly in the tube and is ... Read More
smoked to the bottom dry and completely. As it seemed, it is strong, although it is declared 3 out of 5. In principle, tobacco is not bad, but it will not become permanent for me, although it can be smoked from time to time. Read Less
Sour and Peculiar

Product: Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique 1.75oz
I’m a fan of Peterson Irish Cask and I heard this was similar. Tin note is sour orientals and earthy dark fired Kentucky. It smokes fine, and the pepperiness of the Perique is evident and enjoyable. It’s not a go-to blend for me, but it’s fine.
Another Tasty HH Blend!

Product: Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique 1.75oz
When I first started smoking a pipe about a year and a half ago, I bought so many blends I nearly forgot about this one. I popped the lid on a jar of this I'd cellared for about a year and I was delightfully surprised by how good it was. Unlike it's ... Read More
name, it's not a Perique powerhouse, but rather a very nice, typical VA-Per in flavor and behavior. It's got that bready and dark fruit tin note than any good VA-Per usually has, and the taste is equally pleasant. I'd recommend it to anyone who's enjoyed any of the HH blends, and to VA-Per fans who want to explore new territory. Also worth noting is the lack of the usual "Mac Bite" that Mac Baren is infamous for. Finally, its strength, which is mild to medium, both in flavor and nicotine content. Another solid smoke from Mac Baren, if not a bit different than their usual fare. Read Less

I love the HH series but this one is just different. It's not bad so don't get me wrong. It's something that you will have to try out yourself. I need to smoke more in different pipes I guess to figure out if it's for me or not.
Ah, the taste.

I note that some people refer to this blend as a VA/Per. To me, it's more kitchen sink. Most of Mac B's Virginias bite me like a mad dog, this doe's not and the taste is wonderful.
Decent Stuff.

Product: Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique 1.75oz
I enjoy this one for what it is but I can think of a dozen other blends I would smoke before I reach for this one. It' a great middle of the road smoke and I enjoy it when I'm mowing the lawn or doing other outside chores around the house. It definit... Read More
ely ain't a thinker so you can just light up and go about your business and for that it is great. Once my tin runs out I doubt I will restock it. If you are looking for something that isn't too complex than this might be right for you. Just a basic ribbon cut VaPer. Read Less
Great, great stuff

Wonderful way to delve into perique. It only gets better and more interesting with each new bowl.
I'm thankful to Mac Baren for all of their HH blends.
Lots of Perique

Product: Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique 1.75oz
To me this blend tastes a lot like a medium to fill bodied cigar, which I like. It burns well, and is easy to pack, as are most Mac Baren tobaccos.
Over priced for the taste

Product: Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique 1.75oz
I ordered this tin because I wanted to see how much perique taste it had. For over 10 dollars a ounce I can get a better blend -seems with Mac Baren all their tobacco is highly priced. But Hey you get to keep the tin.
Pleasant surprise

Product: Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique 1.75oz
I have been meaning to smoke a substantial amount of this blend (at least an entire tin), since I first tried a sample form a bulk bag months ago. Now that I have spent some time with this one, I can say that I'm still finding new nuances with each b... Read More
owl. This blend is complex, and will keep your attention regardless of the size chamber you are loading. I would consider this a bit higher in strength than I initially found it to be. Overall, I can enjoy this blend all day long and I intend to lay down no small amount for future enjoyment. Read Less
