Mac Baren: Plumcake 3.5oz Pipe Tobacco

Bueno es una mezcla inglesa con un toque suave de latakias. Huele con ese olor característico a cuero que ofrecen las mezclas latakiadas. Encendido huele y sabe como su olor original pero se fuma suave y no muerde de la lengua. No sentí ningún olor a ron pero aun así su fumada es agradable. Un buen tabaco para tenerlo como una alternativa diferente....Read More

There's more than just a touch of latakia in my tin , but not overpowering . This cake seems a little light on plumb as well . Definitely a Mac Baren navy blend with that "old time " English vibe going . I'll jar it up and check back on it later , stay tuned.

Mac Baren plumcake is tasty and an easy smoke. It just smells and tastes good. It almost reminds me a fine cigar. Smoky woodsy, rich without being overbearing. No bitterness. This is my favorite pipe tobacco. It is also very consistent from bowl to bowl. Get some. Cheers from Tennessee

With a name like Plumcake, I was hoping for a touch more sweetness from the rum, but the smoky Latakia mixture is tasty nonetheless.

开盖是淡淡的plum香气，气味微甜略酸。点燃以后烟气很淡，不列不呛，有些清新，燃烧均匀。这款味道各方面都很平衡，非常淡的一款烟草。室韵很淡且微香，对室内被迫吸二手烟的人友好。好抽，但是没有惊喜。便宜，但是大概不会加到favorite list里。

Opened this up today and what a great surprise. This will be in or every order from now on.

This is an almost perfect ready-rubbed tobacco, dark, soft and smooth, very light on the Latakia, a little nuttiness from the burley, a little sweet from the rum, a little smoky. I like to dry it a little before loading and that first light is divine! It can bite you a bit if you push it to hard, but definitely one that I will keep around!...Read More

I tried Plumcake because it's of the same type of tobacco as Peterson Irish Whiskey: a slightly whiskey flavored tobacco. This type of tobacco is under-rated. I recommend it to anyone who likes English tobacco and wants something compatible but a little different. I do prefer the Peterson Irish Whiskey, but I recommend trying both....Read More

Tin note of sweet spices and tangy raisins. Tobacco is a ready rub of brown, tan and black. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of spiced rum. The rum is never more than a mild reminder but lasts to the end. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of mild spiced rum, peaty sour vegetation, zesty tart citrus, tangy dark fruit, floral, mild incense, acidic, spicy, wood, grass, sugar, savory, earthy, a molasses and spices background note, and a peppery retro. Burley is leading with Cavendish, Latakia and Virginia supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

… but this stuff isn’t bad. I don’t know that I’ll ever order it again. People call it a crossover blend. I don’t know. It’s different. Like most Mac Baren blends for me, this one can bite, but it smells nice and has decent flavor.
