Mac Baren Mixture Flake

Mixture Flake is the pressed-slice version of Mac Baren's classic Mixture blend. Its foundation is Virginia, burley and the brand's own black cavendish; the manufacturer states over thirty-five leaves from different parts of the world are brought together in the blend. The leaves are pressed, rested a while and cut into slices. A lightly sweet top note is applied, so it's classed as a light aromatic. In the smoke, Virginia sweetness and burley's nutty dryness form a balanced base, cavendish adds softness, and the top flavor stays within a range that doesn't mask the tobacco taste.
