Mac Baren: HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-004-0018

The HH Old Dark Fired you know and love from Mac Baren in a more convenient ready-rubbed form! Bold flakes of dark-fired Burleys balanced with flue-cured Virginias have been broken up into fine ribbons. Since this tobacco is hot-pressed into flakes before being rubbed out, the robust, earthy flavor of the dark-fired Kentucky still shines through in the taste — promising a deeply satisfying smoke, indeed.

This bulk version is way off.

So the ODF bulk is no where near as good as the flake, but the bag i got here is even further off. It doesn't smell right at all. I smelled the batch of bulk from P&C vs this one and its not even comparable. Something is way off with this batch. Super disappointing.

Bold and dark

Similarly to their HH Rustica, this dark fired flake rubs out well, dries readily, and delivers a full bodied punch of flavor - in this case without as heavy a nic hit that Rustica carries. This will be as good for blending as it is for smoking by itself.

Sweet Fig Fire
March 12, 2024

Product: Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed Bulk
If you like figs with just a hint of smoke then here you go, the Virginia's shine well in this blend and robust earth and body Luke a cigar thanks to the burley. The Kentucky fire is right on the money and married well with the entire blend. Almost takes me to a maduro leaf taste at times but never over powering, this is a smooth smoke and won't bite it is very polite. One of my top 5 blends to smoke and truly enjoy....Read More

A favorite

Perfection. Strong yet smooth. Close relative of Dark flake and Irish flake. But with all the rough edges sanded off. Still very tough, but presentable. The Springsteen of pipe tobaccos.

Pure dark fired at its best

If you are interested in dark fired tobaccos, and want a definitive answer this is your litmus test. This is without a doubt one of my favorites. In my opinion I can be a bit moist, but nothing a short rest won't cure. Don't fear the nicotine, it's there but not overwhelming.

Challenging perfection
September 11, 2023
By: American AngloScot
Product: Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed Bulk
Nearly a Platonic Form of a taste you know you desire. This is not an easy smoke. Retrohales will bring tingles that may even come to pain. But this taste is something you want. Smoked alone, this is a fine but challenging tobacco blend, and it is worth trying, but throw this in with a nice Virginia blend, and this will really shine. A perfectly good, though challenging, stand-alone smoke, but truly a fantastic blending tobacco to give the right blends a special extra kick. This one is magic, don't miss out....Read More

Typical Burley Tobacco
October 21, 2023
By: Junpeng S.
Product: Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed Bulk
Very typical burley tobacco, with moderate humidity and a wake-up time of 5 minutes. After igniting it, use your mouth to inhale the obvious flavor of burley tobacco. To be honest, I don't really like the feeling of burley tobacco, but it has a distinct aroma that differs from other tobacco through the nose, which is very special, but I still won't buy it again....Read More
