Perhaps the Best Virginia Flake
December 29, 2021
Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 16oz
Mac Baren’s HH Line has achieved the halcyon of Germains and Gawith. Perhaps it’s the century old steam press they acquired to manufacture the HH line, or perhaps it’s the sourcing and blending... maybe it’s the combination of these. No matter, the ... Read More
entire HH line of flakes are among the most qualitative products manufactured by Mac Baren or any blending house for that matter. Unlike Germains and Gawith, HH is readily available and reasonably priced, which in my humble opinion, moves it beyond either of the former to a level not seen among Houses since the early 2000’s. Now, about HH Pure VA; A high quality VA Flake is a real treat, and this is one of them. The steam pressing removed the sharpness that accompanies brighter, fresher VA, and deepens the flavor profile while adding a bit of caramelization. This has a very clean, deep and round profile. There's the highly sought after malted/fermented VA nuance; it's delicately sweet with a slight honey flavor, bready/pastry and has a marked grass/hay nuance with just a tiny bit of citrus. The finish is crisp, sweet and clean. It's incredibly smooth with absolutely no bite. The nicotine level is medium to medium-strong strength with a nice 3 out 5 nic strength. This is a great after-dinner smoke that rivals Sam Gawith FVF, and in many respects, is superior. I prefer this after a full-flavored steak dinner. The smooth and mild sweetness provides a great finish to counter the savory steak. Add to that a satisfying nicotine strength, and it pairs so damn well. Read Less

Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 16oz
I'm still working out this tobacco to see what works for me. I think this tobacco likes a large Dia. bowl. no real bite unless pushed, with a lot of good Virginia flavors, I plan on smoking a lot more of it in the future, I may very well make this o... Read More
ne a big part of my rotation in the future. Update 10/16/22 Dry it for a fair time cut with sharp scissors about .25 inch slices, very light pack, smoked out of a .80 dia. bowl not a white ash tobacco, 3 charring lights smoke slow tamp very lightly.This tobacco is not very forgiving, but do exactly what it wants to burn and your in smokers heaven. Tricky but worth it. In my opinion not for a new piper. Read Less

Sweet, grassy, and bready. I bulk buy this and add 10% granulated perique to make a VaPer that's better than Escudo for half the price. Of course it being a virginia, it can bite if accelerated. My go-to straight Va.
Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 16oz
It's a stronger VaPer to be sure, and not as straight forward, but rich in its own right
Perfection.

Im a relative newbie who bought a pound of HH Virginia as my first bulk HH purchase.
I learned so much with this tabacco.
I opened the box and immediately tried a sample and had horrible results and it became clear to me that it was way to fresh to... Read More
smoke yet- which was a new concept to me.
What I did then was separate it all into air-tight jars and only a week later it transformed into the smoothest, tastiest tabacco I’ve yet to experience.
Hard to believe that such tight tolerances on quality control and optimum freshness can be achieved in a bulk product.
All you have to do is buy it, get it out of the box and into jars then simply wait a week and you end-up with something as close to perfection as I’m ever likely to see in a bulk product.
Could not be happier-
Ordering the HH Burley now.
I’m done wasting money chasing quality and flavor while avoiding tongue bite and harshness.
Just go HH bulk and forget everything else unless you got money to burn. Read Less

之前对比了不少V草，发觉纯V制作的草还是比较适合。HH的这款，用的烟草是真的不错，对照过straight V的几款，已经基本确定这将是我的首选。强烈推荐！
