Mac Baren: HH Latakia Flake 3.5oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-039-0084

The Latakia up front, the Virginia chimes in with a bit of sweetness, the Orientals throw in spice, while the Burley provides elements of nut and earth. All are hot-pressed, to marry the flavors into a dark, complex cooperation. HH Latakia Flake is, in short, another uniquely fine flake brought to us from Mac Baren.

A fine Latakia blend!

I found this little shop in Phoenix by chance while heading somewhere with my wife. (Appointment I think). We went in, and this flake was recommended as a Balkan blend. I tried it, and I am in love!

More than a English

Product: Mac Baren HH Latakia Flake 3.5oz
I've always felt that English blends are very suitable for a new pipe smoker other than the fact that some people just don't like latakia. English blends can be a little one note. But flake behave and smokes like an easy English but than promotes the burley through the back door. I love to smoke this as a smokey burley blend and great for beginners and pros....Read More

Penzance Replacement? No. This is it's Own Thing

Product: Mac Baren HH Latakia Flake 3.5oz
Allow it to air out and the Orientals become more assertive and compete with the VA for top spot. They are a bit spicy and tickle the tongue, but a musty sourness is the primary nuance from the sun cured. I wish this had a sweeter VA... it would be amazing, but what is there is very earthy and woody. The typical VA sweetness, grass/hay and bread are missing. The Latakia is actually pretty robust in this. Not a Lat bomb, but pretty darn close. I think it's heavily fired. This is a good smoky, verdant, woody, earthy mixture. The VA was too muted by the pressing and not nearly sweet enough. I swear that Penzance has sugar added. Had it been sweeter and the VA more bready and less muted, it would've been a dead ringer replacement for Penzance. Nicotine is 1.5 - 2 out of 5....Read More

Good Stuff

If you like latakia but don’t want a pine forest burning in your mouth, this is the flake for you. Full of smokey latakia goodness, but with other nice things rounding it out. Much, much better than Pirate Kake. If you had a bad experience with PK but still want to enjoy some excellent latakia, give this one a try. It will not disappoint....Read More

Impressive!
April 29, 2020

Product: Mac Baren HH Latakia Flake 3.5oz
I start with the tin note which is a rich earthy, woodsy aroma with faint hints of sweetness. I also love the dark flake cut and presentation. When smoking it in my favourite Meer, I noticed that the Latakia is a main player but mid-bowl it blends nicely with the virginia, burley and orientals. I loved the rich and smooth flavour combinations..I rate this tobacco a solid 5 stars. Highly recommended for seasoned smokers....Read More

bits of plastic in the flakes...
January 23, 2018
By: Ryan W.
Product: Mac Baren HH Latakia Flake 3.5oz
Yeah so i just got this tobacco in and was decanting into my jars like normal and I noticed a shiny bit in one of the flakes. I grabbed said flake and popped the thing out and its a piece of plastic. I went through all the flakes and discovered 7 of the flakes from this tin had little chunks of plastic in them. I've never tried Mac Baren before and I wont let this deter me I understand accidents happen but I am quite surprised and will be checking any future tobaccos by them to be sure....Read More
