Mac Barren Three Nuns | Well balanced Virginia & Fire Cured Kentucky blend

The Three Nuns is a famous blend but for me it is a first. Although I did not try the original Three Nuns Virginia / Perique combo. I very much enjoy the Virginia / Dark fired Kentucky with its delicate spicy fire cured wood smokiness & slight spiciness, that in my opinion adds so much to the sweetish zesty Virginia & to the overall smoking experience.

In the formula from Imperial Tobacco, Three Nuns was a VaPer mixture. Pipe Tobacco Hall of Fame Inductee. Later this tobacco was made at the Orlik factory for BAT and Kentucky was substituted for Perique. The latest version, blended and manufactured by Mac Baren, follows the latter form.
