Honey & Chocolate

Honey & Chocolate is a fine loose-cut aromatic blend from Mac Baren based on leaf that has undergone a special cavendish process. Records indicate the blend's foundation is a Brazilian Virginia that is hot-air cured and then fermented like cigar leaf; this process removes the leaf's sharpness and turns it into a softer expression. After a long, slow cavendish process, the blend is given a top flavor of honey and chocolate.

In the smoke, the tobacco character stays in the background; the flavor that stands out is honey sweetness and cocoa tones. Nicotine is low and it burns cool. Suited to those starting out on pipes with flavored blends and to those seeking sweet top notes. Since the product's moisture can run high, airing it a while before packing regulates the burn.
