Mac Baren: Latakia Rolls 3.5oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-039-0116

Encased in a wrapper of whole Virginia leaves, Mac Baren's limited-edition Latakia Rolls features a core of spicy Dark-Fired Kentucky and naturally sweet Virginias, alongside a significant percentage of smoky Latakia. The blend is then rolled by hand and stored for five days in wooden crates before being sliced into fine coins. Like nearly all of Mac Baren's spun-cut mixtures, maple sugar is used as an adhesive to bind the rope together, but it is otherwise quite pure in natural flavor, elevating each individual component to the attention of the palate.

Latakia Rolls beautifully showcases the natural character of each varietal, offering a pleasant balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky notes; the incense-like character of the Latakia complements the Dark-Fired's tart, mesquite flavors to produce a smoke that's incredibly complex yet smooth on the draw. No one flavor or component dominates, the cut instead offering a more blended, married profile regardless of how it's prepared in a pipe. Whether folded and stuffed, stacked, or rubbed out into a fine shag, Latakia Rolls is the all-day, spun-cut English blend we've all been waiting for.

Not my cup of tea

Product: Mac Baren Latakia Rolls 3.5oz
Got some of this to see what all the hype was about, was not really my cup of tea. Sure that it will fit into many folks shelves nicely, just not mine.
Smooth and tasty

Just received my tin and am smoking it in my Savinelli roma 320 KS. This is a wonderful tobacco blend that is mild , smooth and tasty. It burns slow and needs few delights. The components meld together in a mildly sweet and spicy way. I hope this becomes a regular one for MacBaren. Try it- you will love it!...Read More

If you ask my wife, what is the one tobacco she thinks of when she thinks of me. Latakia rolls. I don’t have enough of this. I have smoked this all day, every day, and I can’t get tired of it. I love the smell, taste, the way it smokes, never any issues. I want this as an aftershave, a deodorant, a body wash, I love Latakia. This, this is the best so far...Read More
5 tins was not enough

Product: Mac Baren Latakia Rolls 3.5oz
Seriously. I would love to add like another 10 to my cellar. Wonderful tin note, great flavor top to bottom. Light roast coffee, slightly burnt caramel/brown sugar, cardamom/nutmeg, bread, smokey, creamy, and moments of floral incense and earth. I've been smoking for almost a year and this is the first review I've written here. It's that good. Would only let me give 4.5 but it's absolutely 5/5...Read More
Well balanced

Product: Mac Baren Latakia Rolls 3.5oz
As stated this is a very well balanced Latakia blend, it came out of the tin at the perfect humidity and the gently rubbed out coins lit flawlessly and tasted like heaven. The Latakia is very present obviously but well controlled in unison with the Virginia’s and is unusually smooth for a Latakia. It is supposedly aged for a few days in wooden crates and I want to say that you have a slightly stronger wood nuance than most blends. Overall very pleasant and will likely order more...Read More
Smokey goodness

Product: Mac Baren Latakia Rolls 3.5oz
Take this review with a grain of salt. I am a new pipe smoker, and this is my first experience with Latakia. I have smoked cigars for several years so no stranger to good tobacco. The tin note, really really turned me off. It was like being slapped in the face with a 2x4 from a freshly burnt down house....We are talking smokey!! like liquid smoke type smokey... HOWEVER, it smokes and tastes completely different, and I mean night and day difference. Its rich but smooth, full bodied yet mild, and full of depth. Alot of floral notes, interesting flavor... not flowery or perfumy, just floral is best I could come up with. it was unique. I also got a nice nutty, woody almost nouget or cream flavor with a little bit of peppery spice. I love this blend, and will be getting another tin or two. This blend will definitely age well....Read More

So wish they would make this regularly! Love to have it in my reg rotation instead of trying to make it last because I can't find anything close to it
Sorry I only got one tin

Smooth, balanced, flavorful and tart. Somewhere between Late Evening and Plum Pudding. Very enjoyable slow smoke. Look up coin packing technique. It's imperative with this one for full enjoyment.

All of mac baren’s coins have this indescribable note, sharp hay-like, delicious. This one is no exception. Would not call it latakia rolls though, as latakia is more of a condiment here
