Great blend
June 25, 2015
Product: Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend 100g
Scottish Mixture is my "core" tobacco choice. It has a complex set of flavors with the medium spectrum of flavors. The tobacco flavor comes through, but it is the light aroma and room note that I enjoy so much. There is not Latakia for y... Read More
ou English blend advocates, but it is a very well balanced blend that I come back to as an old and faithful friend to relax with, smoke after smoke. When it dries out a bit, add a couple of drops of Scotch to your tin to freshen it up! And Enjoy! Read Less
Mac Baron Bulk Scottish Mixture

Product: Mac Baren Scottish Mixture Bulk
Nice smoke, strong taste and aroma. Has a good bite to it that some my not like. I found that it's a tobacco better taken slowly. Not very much fun to puff on, it can get quite harsh.

I tried this tobacco on recommendation of Country Squire Radio and it has become a staple in my jars. Fantastic tobacco for most any occassion. I particularly enjoy it on fall afternoons. Great aroma, great smoke!
Nice blend, worth a try.

Product: Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend 100g
It falls somewhere in that middle ground. You can taste the tobacco, is fuller in flavor and depth than a straight aromatic yet is sweet and has some flavoring in there.
Smokes cool, dry, finishes to a nice ash. Leaves a pleasant room note.

good crossover
January 19, 2018
Product: Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend 100g
Ist impressions - my interest is always peaked when I hear of an aromatic that is a good crossover for English smokers and my interest is even more peaked when it is said by Tad Gage in the Trial by Fire reviews in P&T magazine. That being said, ... Read More
I decided that this was one I had to try; but then before I received the tin I ordered I started reading reviews that spoke of tongue bite. I hate tongue bite! Fear set in. I finally received my package and decided to chance it. I opened the tin and the first thing that was evident to me was the honey smell. The tobacco was packed tight in the tin and had become somewhat caked together. Pulling it apart I found the strands to be very long and fine. I rubbed the strands out so that they were not stuck together and loosely loaded my smallish bowl Savinelli Virginia. The unlit draw was good and had a nice taste to it. I lit the tobacco and puffed light and easy for a few puffs, I then let the pipe sit for a short time. I relit the tobacco and started smoke with some unease in fear of scorching my tongue. The smoke lasted for approximately 45 minutes and I never had to relight a single time with only a single pass of a pipe cleaner for the slightest of moisture. All said and done, I did not experience tongue burn but did not find this to be a "bowl me over" flavor blend, it was pleasant and I hope to be able to unpack more flavor as the fear of scorching my tongue diminishes. As others have said, I would rate this as a "must try" for most all pipe smokers. Will update after several more bowls. Read Less

This might just be one of my favourite blends. It smokes well and the cut is excellent, but where it really shines is in the flavour. Sweet and earthy, this tobacco just fills the air around you with a comfortable aroma and atmosphere.

Great flavorful Burley!
January 02, 2019
Product: Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend 16oz
Love this blend! Predominantly Burley with very light on the Virginia, from first puff to last a full flavored buttery nutty light chocolate flavor of premium burley consistency comes through! Cut like the original Amphora, it lights easily and stays... Read More
lit. As I smoked through the bowl the gentle changes in flavors stiffed in and out with the burley always there, just strong enough for my pallet, soothing and bursting with flavor the way the old blends of my past, the great American blended Burlys of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s! A Burley Lovers Dream imho.
The bowl gets hot, so assume a Bing Crosby hold with stem in forefinger, thumb and king finger. Burns clean to the bottom with no residue behind. Absolutely no bite or mouth burn...for those of us that know how to smoke a pipe with Burley! Slow and easy as Burley was intended to be smoked and enjoyed! Nic-hit just right. And again: A Burley Lovers Dream! Whatever topping there was didn’t get in the way of the tobacco. And as far as aeromatic goes, yes! The tobacco room note is pleasing to all!

Product: Mac Baren Scottish Mixture Bulk
This is a very pleasant aromatic blend. I will have to buy it again soon.
It starts out with tin notes of brown sugar, molasses, and, I think, maple. It is not cloyingly sweet either in its scent or in its taste.
Mechanically, it smoked nicely. I... Read More
t packed easily, lit quickly and burned down to a clean finish. It could burn hot, if a light breeze is blowing or if you puff at it. Otherwise, it behaves itself very well. The tin note does not disappoint: it translates well into the flavour palate, which remains fairly consistent. Again, the flavour is not overly sweet; it is not unlike an unglazed gingerbread cookie. It also leaves a pleasant room note. This was one of the first blends which caused my wife to say: "You smell good. What is that smell?"
I recommend this blend to aromatic smokers and even to English smokers (like myself). You may be pleasantly surprised as I was.
Cheers to all! Read Less

That damned finish
January 11, 2018
Product: Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend 9oz
First the good: It smokes really well, and on the front has a complex and interest set of flavors. And again, smokes great. Burns perfectly.
The bad: The cigarette aftertaste makes me nauseous and is conspicuous.
Product: Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend 9oz
Compared to CPC Scottish Blend, this one isn't. It isn't bad, but it is a mildly aromatic mixture and not a true Scottish at all.
Good, but not my favorite

I've been smoking this blend while out huntinf and it goes well with crisp fall and sharp winter weather. I'll agree with a previous reviewer that it's pretty much all natural tobacco flavor as I get very little of the Cavendish.

I wouldn't consider this blend as aromatic but more a natural tobacco mixture. I taste the virginia and burley but the cavendish is barely visable. The taste is a light natural flavour. Nothing very original.

Product: Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend 100g
This is my favorite pipe tobacco. Honey, toast, hay, citrus and sometimes quite spicy, but not in a hot peppery way. I would say it has a decent burley or is used in small amounts so that it doesn’t taste bitter and the aroma is wonderful.

Discovered An Old Classic.
February 26, 2018
Product: Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend 16oz
Wow, I'm actually enjoying this one much more than I thought I was going to. I was gifted it and had I not been I probably would have never come around to trying this one. The dressing has a very nice floral note in it not unlike what you would find ... Read More
in St. Bruno or Velvan Plug, it's very faint but it's there and very satisfying in my opinion. I love how florals go with tobacco so I am always looking for a blend that incorporates that into the mix and this one surprisingly does this very well. The one fault that I do find with this blend as I do with many Mac Baren blends is that it has the tendency to bite so you have to be very careful with it, it seems to be more in the topping than the actual tobaccos. The tobaccos used are obviously of high quality and the topping is not over the top so this is not one of those ridiculous goopy aromatic tobaccos, you can actually taste the tobaccos! I'll definitely be getting more of this once my gifted sample runs out.
The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 4 is the lack of nicotine. While this blend is absolutely delicious, unfortunately I'm still wanting more once I've smoked it all the way down. If Mac Baren would put this topping on a more stout tobacco like Walnut Flake or St. Bruno it would probably be my number 1 blend. As it stands I still love it and I'm happy to have a large stash of it on hand. I like to smoke several pipes in one session and this one almost always makes those sessions.
I'll say it's still essential, just wish it had more nicotine Read Less
