Mac Barren "Old Dark Fired"

Pipe:Dr. Grabow Savoy (Briar)

Smoked Inside

Pouch note: Sweet aroma not really grassy but that's as close as I can describe it.

Room note: A dry burley type aroma.

Ready rubbed somewhat dry

Packs easily and has an easy draw

Lights easily and quickly burns steady just an occasional tamp to keep the ember in place.

Taste: There is no nuttiness or tang in this blend the sweetness seems to be only in the pouch.
It has a distinct mustiness,a cool dry oak flavor,it refreshing and pure.I could get
addicted to this type of mixure,it's simple yet has a complexity hiding in the background.
The retrohale has a touch of burn,but I'm not getting any tongue bite.The smoke seems a
bit dry but is full and thick.
