Mac Baren: Plumcake 16oz Pipe Tobacco

Right from the tin the nose can pick up a very nice aroma from many aspects of this blend. It came in very moist out of the tin, but me being ematiant tried to smoke it any way, vey hot with little other than tobacco and smoke flavor, oh and did I say hot, no sipping would keep it cool, (tried it in several pipes), so ime drying it to deferant stages to get an enjoyeble bowl, but as of now, not finding it to be pleasurable at all other then the nose bouquet. I'll check back with you later on....Read More

This would be my "all-day" mixture if it didn't have a slight bite. It is slightly rich and a bit sweet.It is balanced in the sense it isn't too harsh or too mild.

This is probably one of the best quality tobaccos I have ever smoked.Easy to smoke.Tastes great,but not strong.Room note is wonderful.The tobacco strength seems mild,though rated average.I also blended plumcake with some very mild and boring tobacco and the result was truly exciting!

The chippiness and sharpness of the blend is a good contrast and switch from burley. A pipesmoker should always have both blends in his inventory, and Macbarren's plumcake especially.
