Mac Baren Arcadian Mixture
Mac Baren has been pretty short on blends with Perique. I don't know what else is in this blend besides Perique, but I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
The other two HH blends (Vintage Syrian and Matured Virginia) were a welcome departure from Mac Baren's usual style. (Nothing against those either of course - big fan of Mixture here.) This one could prove to be interesting.
As soon as I have more details, I'll post.

This looks interesting. I just ordered a couple of tins of MacBaren, they didn’t have this. I will have to keep my eyes open.
Wow, this is a blend to stock up on. Like the blender states on the tin, this has no top note but is equally flavourful from every angle. The Perique builds towards the end. The burley’s and virnginias nuttyness are set off by the Cavendishes bitter-sweetness. It has no tongue bite, but is rich in taste. A rare combination. It comes moist so keeping it that way will help maintain the falvour of it’s carefully measured ingredients.
It can be puffed all day, the Nicotine kick is evident but not overly powering to me. I like strong Cavendishes spinkled with Perique when I’m not trying top blends however.
