麦克巴伦 HH 乡野之人 2021年
生草:水果发酵和黑暗风格的气味。
点火后:泥土、木质味、花香、柑橘、面包、草药、苔藓、一定量的烟熏。
口腔里面能感受到:类似柠檬的果酸和淡淡的果甜,口腔会有涩感,尼古丁含量高。
烟气方面:整体柔顺、厚重,斗温不高,值得注意的是斗草要醒干再抽,不然会有一定的水汽,那么你可能就会出现杂味与呛人感,整体劲道偏高,需要控制过鼻的次数。
总的来说,这款草各种风味都保持的很好,半斗之后开始体现劲道,一抖下来体验感还是满分的,但是不能忽略的是他的尼古丁。它会有特别的花香... Read More
与苔藓的香气,让你感觉仿佛置身在刚下过雨的树林中,你点燃了一堆篝火,你能闻到身边的苔藓、木头与野花。还是值得一试的,以满足你的好奇心。PS:我猜测会想要选择尝试这款草的斗客,可能是经验丰富的老烟枪,也可能是和我一样又菜又爱玩儿。 Read Less
Rustica Unleashed
February 28, 2024
Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
Mac Baren's HH Rustica Ready Rubbed in bulk strides into the room with a presence you can't ignore—bold, unrefined, and with a strength that grabs you by the collar. This blend doesn't tiptoe around; it's a full-bodied, earthy affair with a nicotine ... Read More
kick that's not for the timid. The combination of Nicotiana rustica, Dark Virginias, and a dash of Burley offers a smoking experience that's as complex as it is potent.
It's like that friend who's always a bit too much, but in a way that you can't help but respect. The kind of tobacco that tells a story with each puff, but leaves you wondering if you're ready for the next chapter. For the seasoned smoker seeking depth and intensity, it's a treasure. For the newcomer, a challenge. In essence, it's not just tobacco; it's a journey, one that demands respect and a readiness to embrace the robust flavors and high nicotine content head-on. Read Less
Best Ive ever smoked
March 08, 2024
Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
This is the smoothest and tastiest pipe tobacco ever! I've never tried the flaked but this is great. It reminds me of a good maduro cigar. Its got body and strength but smooth as silk and a subtle sweetness on the back of the palate that is sublime. ... Read More
It is way better than old dark fired and bold kentucky and that's saying alot because those are my two favorite blends. No tongue bite at all. I hope macbaren keeps this in production forever.
Update: After smoking this in various pipes I recommend smoking this in a well seasoned cob rather than a briar. Ive found that in a briar I don't get the rich maduro cigar type flavors that I do when I smoke in a cob. Just my experience YMMV. Read Less

This is so good. Smooth, but strong and balanced. MacBaren’s really has impressed me with this fine tobacco. Is it strong? I’m not going to blow smoke up your arse, yes it’s strong. You’ll see Pocahontas doing somersaults nude, right down the village... Read More

It’s really a most enjoyable tobacco that tastes like no other. You’d be wise to sip slowly, and in a smaller bowl pipe. Beautiful blend. Read Less
A Real Man's Tobacco

The stuff of legends in bulk and ready rubbed? Sign me up.
Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
它很棒,简单粗暴,在点燃之后,我深深的吸了一口,接着习惯性的从我的鼻腔里出去。然后。。。。。。尽管我咳了十多分钟,但是我还是喜欢它的味道,微甜,微涩,浓烈的乡村泥土气息,再加上一大杯美式咖啡,让我欲罢不能。我想,我应该买点HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed感受不同的风味。建议新手请在指导下品尝,它实在太棒啦!
Actually very nice

Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
Very moist in the pouch. I broke up strands and left it to air dry a bit, stuffed a 616 KS Savinelli, did a charring light and let it sit. Lit it up and it was reluctant so I let it sit a while longer. Finally got it going and was rewarded with a ric... Read More
h deep flavor with a peculiar spiciness that’s hard to define. Still working on that first bowl in this large pipe but it’s a pretty smooth easy smoke. I’ll finish it later but for now, i’ll give it five stars and applaud the blender for making what could be an overpowering blend fairly palatable. I like it. I’ve been a pipe smoker for over fifty years and this is without a doubt, the most unusual stuff I’ve ever smoked. For what it’s worth, I wholeheartedly approve. Try it and I’ll bet you like it.

Medicinal Use, preferably
August 09, 2024
Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
This here is a medicinal substance. It doesn't taste very good, and it's extremely potent.
Be careful not to overdo it, you can smoke too much with even a small bowl of this one.
The value I see in this tobacco is as a traditional medicinal and rit... Read More
ual tobacco. If you need something particularly strong to make snuffs, chews, or to smoke in a traditionally ritualized manner; this is an invaluable tool for you.
If, however, you want to smoke this purely recreationally, then I would avoid it. Its taste is powerful enough to overpower the finest tobaccos when blended, making it not suitable for blending; at least not in large quantities. Read Less
My wheelhouse
June 22, 2024
Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
I like full tobacco flavor with a good dose of nicotine. This delivers both. Made me wobbly a time or two on an empty stomach. Won’t do that again. If you like burly you’ll like rustica. Just smoke this after a good meal.

a bit mellow than the tinned one. good amount of vitamin N, slightly dry
I thought this was too wet, but it smokes well if sipped.

This tobacco tastes great. It isn't quite as smokey as something really lat heavy, but it's definitely there. The smoke actually comes across sort of sweet, it's a really nice smoke. Mellower than I expected, but it definitely has a sting and a spicy... Read More
sort of heat that is almost perique-esque at times. I like it quite a bit. It's a bit wet, I wish there was less humectant. I get lots of cereal notes, barley, sorghum, etc. Read Less
A bad experience.

Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
The flavor of this tobacco is quite nice, unfortunately I could not keep the bowl lit long enough to enjoy more than perhaps a minute of smoking. Perhaps it is my pipe or my packing technique but even after pulling all of the tobacco out of the pipe ... Read More

1rst time with Rustica
March 30, 2024
Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
I smoke Orientals, VaPers, English, DrkFKentucky, & aromatics(occasionally). They said it was REALLY STRONG...Doesn't taste OVERWHELMING..Don't get me wrong... It does have some KICK to it. It's smoother than I had thought it would be. But it's real... Read More
ly got a GOOD earthy/campfire taste to it. Different to other blends. The Virginias & Burley definitely come through by the 2nd or 3rd puff of the bowl; without overpowering the Rustica's flavor..I originally ordered 2 ozs. After smoking, I ordered 8 ozs more... Nice to have around for something a little different. Read Less

It's good.
Bag note is almost exactly like Old Dark Fired, and the taste is similar, but there's a peculiar tingling on the tongue that isn't at all unpleasant. Unlike HH Burley Flake, the taste of the tobacco is rich enough to overpower the sweeteni... Read More

Patience Is A Virtue
March 07, 2024
Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
This ready-rubbed came on the moist side, but after a little rubbing and 20 minutes of drying time was good to go. I used a vintage 624KS, which I consider a medium bowl. I'd recommend a medium sized bowl of your choice for the experienced smoker. It... Read More
is strong as advertised, but maybe not overwhelmingly so for those who are seasoned. I believe a less experienced smoker can enjoy this as well, but this tobacco would require proper cadence and pace. Take your time! Otherwise, the potency of this tobacco could floor you. "Patience Is A Virtue" Right? This was an enjoyable smoke for me, and I'd recommend this to someone who wants to actually sit down and devote their time just to this with no other distractions. Rustic cut that provides some smokey/earthy complexity. I bought 6 oz. of this, some to smoke straight up now... the other to put back for a bit for some blending experiments later. Certainly if available, will buy more later.. backed off a star portion just for the moisture content, perhaps not fair. Read Less
Intriguing
March 01, 2024
Product: Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed Bulk
This is my first review ever although I smoke pipes since 55 years. Mostly I smoke flakes….Latakia based is my favorite. I was lured to this one by the claim that it is so strong. So I fed it into one of my Dunhills. Early impression: superb! ... Read More
I can’t describe why exactly I enjoy it But I do. I once hope it won’t burn my mouth because my oral lining is sensitive. If it does I may mix it with my pure Cornell Latakia. So the early impression is very promising Read Less
