Tin Notes:
This fine blend of Virginia and Black Cavendish offers a new direction with its complexity, aroma and sweetness
Strength: Mild to Medium
Flavor: Medium
Taste: Medium
Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was of sweet figs. On the charring light the predominate flavor was of figs. On the true light the sweetness from the Virginias was added to the taste. After the first half of the bowl the flavoring faded out and the natural taste of the tobacco remained. Cabaret Rouge burned cool and well without any relights. It burned to the bottom of the bowl with a little dottle left.

Mac Baren Halberg Red
Tin Notes:
The 125th anniversary of the Halberg family as owner of Mac Baren Tobacco Company is what lead to the creation of the Halberg tobacco line. The 4th generation of Halberg, Henrik Halberg, took great effort in this job to create a tobacco line which would serve as a highlight of 4 generations of tobacco manufacturers. This Halberg blend is unique and a pleasure to all of the senses. Your eye is greeted by a colorful blend of cross cut bright Virginia tobaccos, clear brown Burleys, a soft Virginia Cavendish, and in addition to all these tobaccos the blend contains pieces of 2 different flake tobaccos. These different tobacco cuts are then hand blended into this extraordinary blend.
Flavor: Medium
Taste: Medium
Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was of the aroma of the Virginias. On the charring light and the true light the flavor was of sweet hay from the Virginias. About a quarter of the way through the bowl there was the earthy taste form the Burley started to come through along with a hint of vanilla. The combination of all the flavors made for a great smoke. Halberg Red burned well leaving a light gray ash at the bottom of the bowl. I would recommend this blend to any pipe smoker and it also has a nice gift tin.

Mac Baren Halberg Green
Tin Notes:
The 125th anniversary of the Halberg family as owner of Mac Baren Tobacco Company is what lead to the creation of the Halberg tobacco line. The 4th generation of Halberg, Henrik Halberg, took great effort in this job to create a tobacco line which would serve as a highlight of 4 generations of tobacco manufacturers. No effort has been spared when the tobacco grades were selected. From tobacco fields of 3 continents, the absolute best bright Virginia and ripe Burleys leaves were harvested. A part of the tobacco blend is pressed into cakes, hereafter cut into small pieces and hand blended with the exclusive ribbon cut and cross cut Virginias. The nose is greeted by a scent of gentle berries mixed with a hint of exotic fruits. When smoked the perfect balance between natural tobaccos, subtle flavour notes and cross cut Virginia flakes create a slow burn in your pipe and an exquisite aromatic smoking pleasure.

The tin note was of berries. On the charring light and the true light the flavor was of the berries. About a quarter of the way through the bowl there was an earthy taste that started to come through along with a hint of exotic fruits. A little bit further into the bowl the sweetness from the Virginas was apparent. The combination of all the flavors made for a very festive holiday smoke. Halberg Green burned well leaving a light gray ash at the bottom of the bowl. I would recommend this blend to any pipe smoker and it also has a nice gift tin.

Mac Baren Cube Bronze
Tin Notes:
It all starts with the carefully selected raw tobaccos which Henrik Halberg, owner and Master Blender, personally has selected in various parts of the world. These tobaccos combined with the skilled craftsmanship at Mac Baren makes this blend not only special – it makes it unique. The loose cut Virginias and the modern Cavendish gives the blend a soft and mellow taste. The Virginias are a broader cut than normal, which together with the ready rubbed Burley tobaccos guarantees you a slow and pleasant smoke. When enjoying the Cube Bronze you will experience soft taste of vanilla and chocolate in combination with a natural tobacco taste. It is a unique smoke with fulfilling pleasure from the start to the end. The Cube box is divided into 3 parts, each part showing the 3 unique elements: tobacco – craftsmanship - taste. It’s in the box.
