Mac Baren Classics Black Ambrosia

I bought a tin of this and liked it right away so I went and bought a pound of it. It's my go to smoke when I'm practicing guitar or studying musical scores. I don't get a lot of bite and the Virginias are sweet and the flavoring of the blend is pleasant and interesting. No drying time required as far as exposure goes. I smoke it an an Amorelli briar and an AKB meerschaum.

From the first draw to the last. Refreshing and full of flavor. No burn... mild and smooth. Leaves a pleasant aftertaste...

Excellent my go to..

I've never had a bad bowl of Mac Baren's tobacco. But as a smoker of Black Cavendish for decades, I was disappointed in Black Ambrosia. I had expectations of a full flavored tobacco with aroma and body to it as most Mac Baren blends of all type have been. Surprisingly, Black Ambrosia turned out to be a very subtle, almost tasteless smoke, which I'd imagine if used in blending might smooth out a more harsh blend. Like I said, it wasn't bad. It just what I'd imagined after smoking 7 Seas Black I guess.

Very smooth tobacco, with great aroma. No bite, but keep moist.

light bite sweet smoke deep flovor

Hi People!; I have been a Pipe Smoker for quite some time now! One of my favorite Tobacco Brands has been a favorite is and still is "Captain Black" Tobaccos! When I ordered the special a week or so ago,I ordered the Ash Tray,and 3 of " Mac Baren" Tobaccos,I am glad I did so,the " Mac Baren Black Ambrosia" is an Excellant Tobacco,I Mean "Excellant" one of the best I have tried do far!! I will continue with "Mac Baren" blends,more than Captain Black!! Thanx Regards Bob Mielke

Not a bad blend. I was hoping for a bit more but not a bad aromatic.

I'm a moody guy. So I've tried over 30 blends. MBA is one of my favorites... for a particular mood. It's rich, sweet; I taste raisins. Whether you choose it as an all-day smoke (as some reviewers do) depends on your personality. For me, it's a special occasion smoke. I suggest that you try a tin first, to see how you like it. But for me... the 1 lb bag is what I buy now. I like to treat myself often :)

My favorite

Could use some flavor ,the good news is it stays lit I'm not always having to relight it.

I find Black Ambrosia an interesting and rewarding smoke. It is sufficiently different than most of the other tobaccos I smoke that it reawakens my taste buds. I would recommend this tobacco as a frequent “ change of pace” . It is pleasant and certainly not boring.

Good smoke

Best tobacco flavor and best services

Decent flavor but the aroma is something to be desired

Ok. cool smoke, minimal bite, did not get any hint of taste, flavor, or aroma just the cavendish which seemed a little more sharp and had a stronger tobacco flavor than a burly cavendish. Since the cavendish was made with virginas I did get a little bite but virginas tend to bite me don't know why but they do. Overall plesant blend but disapointed that there was not more aroma I would not add to my rotation.

Loved the smooth texture on the tongue and the coolness of the smoke

this tobacco did no sit well with my pallet, I smoked two bowls and threw it in the trash. it did not taste or smell good at all ! nothing like the the tin said. I love P&C great service and a selection second to none, But I wont buy this again extremely disappointed.

I purchased this blend for my tobacco collection and it is a very enjoyable mellow smoke. Smokes cool in my pipe!

From a semi-novice position you need the truth. The first word in my mind was "YUM!", in a way that is 5 star soft and elegant exposure. The tobacco is ready for immmediate use (moisture wise) and its sedating effect (relax) is omnipresent. If I could call anything so far in my semi-limited experience, Mac Baren Black Ambrosia is an all day, whenever the impulse arises, definitive "GO TO" that will honor yourself. (1.) caveat: if you absolutely dispise any slightest form of aramatic, I would take a pass on this brilliant blend, even if it will be your loss.
