Smooth and tasty
February 26, 2021
Product: Mac Baren Latakia Rolls 3.5oz
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 bec... Read More

Well balanced
February 28, 2021
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 V... Read More
irginia’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 Less
5 tins was not enough
February 27, 2021
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... Read More
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 Less
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 slapp... Read More
ed 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 Less
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.

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 iss... Read More

Just revisited this beauty after letting it rest for a few months. Wish I had bought 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.
好似一杯被掺了水的丝袜奶茶

2.5 饱满度 2.5 室韵3.5
用了加勒比卷的制作工艺,填草点火都很友好。燃烧斗温烟气也都没的说。初段有一些胡椒刺激感但中前段开始就减弱到很低的水平。前中后段的变化不大。总体感觉就是被稀释了浓度的巴尔干调配,好像一杯掺了水的丝袜奶茶

Outstanding

Product: Mac Baren Latakia Rolls 3.5oz
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
Mac Baren Strikes Again
March 08, 2021
Product: Mac Baren Latakia Rolls 3.5oz
The Kentucky Dark Fired is balanced very well with the Latakia and VA. None take a leading role. The Latakia (smoky, campfire, leather, cedar-essence), balances with the sweet and sour, oak-laden, tangy Kentucky Dark Fired. The VA are tangy, woody... Read More
and offer a bit of sweetness and spice. The balanced nuance is sweet, smoky, sour/tangy, woody and spicy. Oh no, the dreaded Mac Baren toppings are showing. Maple sugar, alcohol, and a multitude of other additives are clashing with my PH. Those spicy, needle-like prickles on the gums, tongue and lips are returing. I was given one tin and am glad I didn't purchase this. I enjoy MB HH - immensely, but this and the other MB products just don't appeal to me. The flavor and balance of this are good and the method of producing roll cakes are truly remarkable. Two stars for these attributes. But the toppings have ruined what was otherwise a 4 star mixture. For those that don't struggle with the PH thing, I think you'll enjoy this. Read Less
Late in Life

Product: Mac Baren Latakia Rolls 3.5oz
Smoking this for the first time last night I was reminded of the moniker for the state of West Virginia: "Almost Heaven." This tobacco in a 25 year old Cooke billiard, supports the previously positive reactions. Too bad this wasn't availabl... Read More

I held back on this review until I could place my second order of this limited blend. I have nothing negative to say about this, I absolutely love the blend. Tin aroma is great, the roll cake style is easy to work with, lit well and stayed lit, and w... Read More
