Mac Baren’s Mixture Scottish is a blend made from ready rubbed, fully-matured Virginia and golden brown Burleys, to which toasted Cavendish and unpressed Virginia has been added. Wonderfully aromatic, but not overwhelming, it’s the go-to tobacco for many discriminating pipe smokers. There's a reason why so many mellow aromatic fans around the world enjoy Mixture Scottish every day, Try it for yourself and find out.
This is currently my favorite tobacco, and I can see how the other reviewers go months without smoking anything but Mixture. Regardless of what your go-to smoke is, every pipe smoker needs to give this at least 3 bowls before moving on. It’s an incredibly satisfying smoke with good body and smooth mouthfeel. I know it’s technically an aromatic, but I have a hard time thinking of it that way. I’d liken the experience and aroma (not necessarily the taste) to freshly baked whole grain bread. The Virginias in the ready-rubbed flake are the star, but the burley and cavendish give it warm, toasty undertones. The balance of bright and warm is perfect with a hint of sweetness and creaminess. You definitely have to smoke it slowly to get the full beauty of the flavor. Like everyone says, you get something slightly different each time depending on how you pack, which is just enough variation to keep it interesting, yet the flavor remains surprisingly consistent and distinct. It’s unfortunate others have experienced some bite—it hasn’t bitten me once, but then I’ve been smoking it in smaller, narrower bowls. It burns well to a clean, fine, white ash all the way to the bottom of the bowl.
Wonderfully smooth! Enjoyed this all last winter, plan on doing the same this year.
Pretty good stuff! I think I detected a slight fruity aroma and taste while I smoked it.
P&C cash is exactly that. Cash you get to spend the way you want. Pipes, tobacco, tools - you name it and you can use it towards your purchase.
