A fine Virginia
January 01, 2025

Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 3.5oz
A very enjoyable Virginia. Not a tin I reach for all the time but when I do, I usually don’t want the bowl to end.

It doesn’t have much complexity

Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 3.5oz
Like other flakes in the HH series, it breaks apart very easily, and is moist, but not overly so. This is a very fine Virginia and as deeply rich and earthy as the best Virginia blends on the market today. I love EVERYTHING about this blend!

Best Virginia yet.

Smells beautiful in the tin with a unique presentation. Arrived with over a year of age on it - which is nice. Smokes like a dream, subtle sweetness and spice. Earthy natural flavor of pure Virginia. A truly great smoke. Buying more.

Have the right pipe

Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 3.5oz
In a chimney, with time to spare and sipping slowly this is heaven. Doesn’t perform nearly as well in pipes that aren’t tall and narrow.

What tobacco should taste like
January 14, 2022
By: Thomas DellaRocco
Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 3.5oz
This is a very rich virginia blend. There is beautiful balance between sweet and ...sort of like tanic leaves on a moist forest floor. This tobacco reminds me of oolong tea, it's that amber type between green and black tea

Perhaps the Best VA Flake
May 26, 2021
By: James Marc R.
Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 3.5oz
Mac Baren’s HH Line has achieved and surpassed the halcyon of VA Flakes the like of which Germains and Gawith established. 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 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. 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. Sam Gawith FVF was the first to set the bar high on a high-quality Virginia Flake, though HH Pure VA surpasses it. 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 More

Top 5 tobacco
September 18, 2021
By: Riley H.
Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 3.5oz
It’s smooth and wonderful tasting. Lovely mouth feel and 2 flakes fit inside my savinelli 320KS perfectly. I do the fold and stuff method with 0 tongue bite and the bowl has never gotten hot. I don’t even dry it out, though I know some people do.

Very nice
May 22, 2021
By: David C.
Product: Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia 3.5oz
When I first opened this one I didn't care for it at all. So much so I actually set it aside and forgot about it. It started sour and rather unpleasant with a matching smoking profile. Now a few weeks later after finding the Tin randomly and giving it a retry. I've been smoking it couple times a day and couldn't be happier. Nice nicotine hit yet a little subtle summer smoke with natural hints of sweetness and fruit that makes this a very easy enjoyable smoke. Will be adding much more of this to my collection....Read More
