Mac Baren: HH Bold Kentucky 3.5oz Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-039-0098
The strongest blend in the HH line, Mac Baren's Bold Kentucky contains a high amount of the finest Dark-Fired Kentucky from the United States and Africa, combined with Bright Virginias to soften the taste just a bit. Still earthy and smoky, the Dark-Fired Kentucky takes center stage, with a slight nuance of sweetness. It's all married in a hot press for one unique taste. Like all the other HH blends made by Mac Baren, this blend has only an absolute minimal casing and no top flavor at all.

The strength is very potent, and the taste is full. Great natural tobacco flavor with a hint of sweetness.

for 45 minutes while I eat a hearty Italian dinner; after all it is Sunday.
The time has arrived as I fold and load 2 slices into my Sevket Meerschaum pipe. Followed by rubbing out the other 2 slices. I walk outside with my Yeti filled with ice and a small amount of apple juice. The ritual now begins. I tamp down the top and then char it for a few moments. I then tamp it down again and wait where I once again char it and tamp it down. Now, I wait about a minute and being the lighting process for a successful burn. Ahhhhhh, the smoke is voluminous and flavorful which reminds me of a wonderful barbeque.
I slow down my smoking and it was a wonderful 15 minutes. I let the pipe rest a minute or two and then relight it for serious business. The second session lasts 45 minutes where I get wonderful smokey flavor with some notes of hay, citrus and a hint of sweetness.
The second session has now concluded. I let the pipe rest for about 10-15 minutes where I scrape out the burned ashes and tamp it down. Time for a relight. The last session lasted about 30 minutes and was very strong and flavorful. This is not for beginners. If you’re a cigar smoker as I once was this will certainly remind you of the pleasure derived from a fine cigar; namely Opus X including the nic hit. All my sessions, the burn was even, smooth and full flavored.
Overall, this is a strong but yet flavorful tobacco which will surely delight the veteran connoisseur. My Sevket has a 2.75” bowl depth and about a .85 diameter so unless you’re used to this amount of tobacco, I suggest a much smaller bowl especially if you’re a neophyte. Good luck and enjoy life....Read More

This blend is very heavy on the Kentucky dark fired. Tastes a lot like barbecue sauce... If you love Texas BBQ you will love this tobacco blend ;)
Excellent

This, like the ODF is an excellent blend, it’s like Rustica but not as good. Once you’ve smoked Rustica it’s a very close tie. This has a slight sweetness to it and heart palpitating nicotine level as the other mentioned.

This is truly something special. I don’t recommend starting your journey into pipe tobacco with this blend, but it’s definitely, as a destination, worth aiming for.
Taste great!

One of my favorite new habits is a fresh cup of espresso and a bowl of this stuff on the back patio every weekend. Tastes great and packs a punch.

A straight forward and bold blend that pairs well with a dark beer or coffee.
