Ahh, I see now why. MacBaren blends bite me like a rabid dog, not sure why, but there is not a blend of their I tried that did not. And as I looked at Tobacco Reviews, I saw a few there that would be up my alley, but there were a couple that said they have to be treated with kid gloves of they'll bite. I now remember visiting the shop in Boston while I lived in Connecticut. I think I was warned, so I just avoided - or I may have sampled one while there, and decided to avoid further attempts.

Tod - the English blends I've had from them are tasty and have been benign on the bite front. Don't know about the aros, other than Thanksgiving, which I was cautious with, but seemed fine.
