So I just got some Mac Baren Vanilla Cream loose cut delivered (bulk), and it is a strong contender for replacing all the stuff SWMBO likes. PA, CH, Capt Black, the Cavendishes I have lying around. This may replace all of them, one ring to rule them all, as it were. But success tonight with the War Department and I loved smoking it. I've had it before, not new to me.
But I want to know about how tobacco is cut and why that matters. On Tobaccoreviews, for example, this blend comes in several cuts, and the Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Roll Cut is way, way better reviewed than the loose cut version. Why? Lots of reviews of both, too, like a couple hundred, so it has some credence to it over something reviewed by like 7 guys. Why is the roll cut so much more loved?
I don't know how cut affects tobacco. I've had tinned flakes before, loose cut, obviously, and I've seen some tobacco in what are called 'coins', kind of like round flake. What does the cut have to do with how it smokes or the ratings?
Thanks! I got 8 oz of the Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Loose Cut because having had it before, I know I like it and was confident the spousal unit would love it. I've never tried the roll cut, though. I'm curious now, big time. Thanks!
And I'm excited, I got a tin of My Mixture 965 today and something called Count Pulaski I think, which is a current version of an old classic I can't remember the name of, can't wait to try those on the porch while it's still warm enough to do so.
