Bleh! I have to downgrade this blend. I just lit up another bowl and got a terrible case of bite. I blew this threw my nose and it felt like i was smoking pure perique or something. Not long after i got a sever case of the hiccups which caused me to inhale this strong blend, which in turn caused me to cough... and it was just a terrible experience. I didn't smoke it for 10 minutes before i emptied the bowl.
I dunno, the MacBaren bite was definitely evident in this blend and it was very harsh. I have a whole tin of this stuff and i'm about to throw it out. I'm not going to judge MacBaren as a whole just from this blend as it's the only one i've tried. I'm more than willing to try more of their tobaccos, just not this one. Maybe i'll age it and come back to it in a few years when i can "stomach" this blend. Until then....
3/10
