Centuries of tobacco craftsmanship go into Amphora Full. In addition to the Virginia tobaccos an exact amount of Burley and Oriental tobaccos from 3 Continents balance the blend, and the result is a smoothly textured and slow burning. Amphora is the trademark of high quality pipe tobacco and the Mac Baren Blend is the most popular aromatic version of Amphora. It's a subtle mixture of perfectly aged Burley, Kentucky, and Virginia Tobaccos. The topping has some flowery floralness as well as a deep fruitiness that includes chocolate, oranges, raspberries and flowers. There's a little grass, earth citrus and dark fruit from the Virginias. The burley is earthy and nutty with a natural cocoa and molasses sweetness, though the toppings sublimate the last two characteristics of the burley. The Kentucky is woody, little smoky, nutty, and earthy in a minor role. An all day smoke with a very cool, smooth, and slight creamy consistent flavor.
