Mac Baren's Three Nuns pipe tobacco is a blend of dark-fired and sun-cured tobaccos mixed with the finest Brazilian Lights to produce the unique flavor and mellow smoking characteristics for which Three Nuns is famous.  Originally a creation of J & F Bell, dating back to the 19th century, Three Nuns was a favorite of British authors (and friends) C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien.  Considering their epic works, imagine what Three Nuns will help you achieve!
