This is the strongest pipe tobacco among the blends in the Mac Baren range. HH Bold Kentucky contains a high amount of the finest Dark Fired Kentucky from the USA and Africa and is combined with bright Virginias to soften the taste just a bit. Still the taste is of earthiness and smoke plays the major part with just a slight nuance of sweetness as the underlying taste. The origin of the taste is in the leaf itself and thanks to the hot press the different tastes marry into one unique taste. Like all the other HH blends this blend has only an absolute minimum of casing and no top flavor at all.
