Mac Baren Mixture Modern
(2.75)
This blend is at the mild end of the taste spectrum in the Mac Baren Mixture Line. Mixture Modern is a touch sweeter than Mixture Scottish Blend, but distinguishes itself with a more complex flavor, yet similar room note, while still retaining the special Mixture flavor.
Notes: A.k.a. "Danish Mixture". Introduced in 2000.
Previously sold as Mixture Mild. Name change due to EU laws that words like "Light" and "Mild" cannot be used on tobacco products anymore.

I have gone back and forth on this blend and finally settled on it. This is by far my favorite blend.
The aroma in the tin is very pleasant but not too strong or over whelming. As will all Mac Baren blends, I start out packing it very loosely on the first fill and lightly tap it down. Then I repeat the process but tap it down a little more firmly each time (only a couple more times). Overall, pack it a little looser than normal and you should be fine.
MM lights very well and stays lit for a good while. Like most everyone, you will need to relight once in a while. If you just smoke it slowly (slower than normal), you shouldn't have to worry about gurgles or bite. When your done, MM leaves a nice ash with very little dottle at the bottom of the bowl.
For those who are looking for a good 'first tobacco', I don't think you can go wrong with Mac Baren's Mixture Modern.

10/4/2010: __This complex blend has such a small amount of Latakia in it that you can hardly tell it is there. The Latakia is used as a condiment which is the way I think Latakia should be used in a tobacco blend, unless you just really love having a pipe full of overpowering onion and garlic flavoring. __This tobacco will not get in your clothes to the point that other people will notice that you have been smoking. I chain smoked this blend for two hours in my car with the windows rolled up all the way from Macon to Savannah and when I got there I apologized for smelling like smoke, but the people there said they did not notice any smell! __The only reason I don't smoke this blend exclusively is that it does not have the crowd-pleaser aroma that I often times want to have eminating from my pipe when I'm around other people. It smells absolutely fabulous to me, but people who don't smoke are not going to love the aroma that is generated from this tobacco blend.

Being a lover of aromatics I must say that I absolutely enjoyed this blend. It is eveything an aromatic should be. I would have given it full marks but it does tend to burn on the hot side, but any pipe smoker worth his briar should know to pace him/herself. It is ideal to both seasoned and new pipers alike. I have actually dedicated one of my more expensive briars for this blend (because of the unusually huge bowl;)) Fill those bowls, sit back and enjoy, I absolutely recommend it.08/17/2007 This was one of my first blends I have smoked and since then have 'graduated'to other types of smokes with greater strengths as well as english blends. I will keep the origional recommendation because I feel that new smokers can surely benefit from this tabac instead of tabacs for more experienced smokers, this way newbies like myself will naturally graduate at their own pace in search of whatever it is they desire. I often still smoke it as the first pipe of the day and still enjoy it. It is what it is, light and easy to smoke, a new smoker can certainly do a lot worse, a great place to start.

I've never met a Mac Baren that I didn't like! This Mixture Mild is no exception. I has a fulfilling flavor and the smell is just right. This is my first review and I felt compelled to applaud this smoke.If I only had one tabacco to chose from this might be the one? When it comes to selecting the right tobacco and pipe, I believe it is one of the most exciting elements of smoking!Lord knows we don't all drive Chevys.
