Another one of Mac Baren’s classic blends, Symphony is a nice ready rubbed tobacco with a subtle flavor of chocolate and a nice sweetness from the Burleys. We’ve only smoked it new, but hear it’s a perfect choice if you want to start cellaring some blends for the future. For our European friends, you might know this one as “Harmony”.

A fine smoke
A rather interesting not too aromatic smoke, and certainly has it's place. A bit grassy.

Barrels of Burley
Jam-packed with Burley flavor, smoothed out by the Cavendish. Now in my regular rotation.

Symphony for your scences
This was the first blend I ever smoked in a pipe, and I keep going back to it. Burns cool and slow for me, most smokes going for over an hour. No tongue bite at all, beautiful tasting and smelling. If you like burley you will like this. If I was stuck on an island with a pipe and two wishes, one would be a lifetime of matches, the other a lifetime of this.

My inexpensive smoke
Good stuff, mang! It reminds me of a blend I got from a German guy some 17 years ago, he'd dubbed German Halfzware Pipe & Spliff. Dude always had the best peppermint snuff too. My hands did not like breaking open the tin. I had to lightly chuck it in a vise, then use two flat-head screwdrivers and a strap wrench, it opened. Boy is arthritis fun! But hey, tools are fun too. The aroma was that of a good pack of cigarettellos with a bit of musty leather. I find a light rub between my fingertips makes for a good smoke. The texture is soft, as you may expect from a ready rubbed. The smoke is light and plentiful, with very little sinus sensation and a temptation to inhale. It burns a little warm so I've found the smoking flavors a bit hard to detect. The finish flavors are air cured tobacco, toasty goodness, with nice round pipe flavor from the Cavendish. This is about the least intensity of tobacco I can enjoy, but I will certainly keep it around as a shop-work and public area smoke. I wear dentures, dentures can mute flavors. Take this information as you will.

Very nice Mac
What a wonderful burley forward blend. Soft and cool easy smoking blend. Room note is top notch. Smokes cool in a cob. Very much a Mac Baren type of tobacco. Good all day smoke.

Hidden delight
This is a hidden delight. It is a light, soft blend like Sir Walter Raleigh or Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed that you can easily stuff in a pipe, light, and go. It has a milk chocolate flavor that meshes well with the Burley and red Virginia base that has a natural enduring sweetness but a roasted almond white Burley flavor as well. I can smoke this stuff all day, and in fact, the first tin I ordered was gone before I knew it, and then I missed it terribly. Another winner from the Mac Baren team.
