Mac Baren Mixture Modern

One of the best. A terrific first pipe. Mixture Mild is a tasty eye-opener which does not overwhelm the pipe, the room or your tongue yet is by no means timid. I smoke this daily and it never disappoints. Highly recommended for the new pipe-smoker as well as experienced smokers who are looking for a sublime smoke.

Ah, yes...:)

I love this tobacco. Probably my favorite Mac Baren so far - next to Navy flake.;-) Mixture Mild IS a mild and slightly sweet tobacco which does not bite your tongue. You can puff this stuff all day long, and not get tired of it.

It is easy to lite it, and it smokes great all the way. After first half of bowl, it became even more reach in taste. Love this stuff.

This was my first tobacco back in the day after couple of very painfull experiences with heavy aromatics.
Tin was im right shape, not very wet and i was thrilled. For the first time i didnt have tongue bites and could puff it all day long.

I love this tobacco. It was my favorite Mac Baren for long time, before i ventured into English blends. Mixture Mild IS a mild and slightly sweet tobacco which does not bite your tongue - but must not be wet, of course.

As with all of the tobacco I buy I un tin Modern and put in glass jars and I think this one especially benefits from doing so…..This blend reminds me of the pipe tobaccos that I remember my grandfather and uncles smoked when I was a kid. Those guys all worked physically demanding jobs in the factories and mills around Pittsburgh Pa. and wouldn’t think of smoking something exotic or pretentious. The flavoring is mild so the sweetness doesn’t become cloying like some aromatics and the strength is one of an all day smoke. The room note is on the masculine side without becoming a bully. Smokes cool and clean and never bites with little moisture in bowl. This blend may not sport the complexity of a more expensive smoke, but what it lacks gets made up with just good tobacco flavor with just enough variety to keep one interested. This blend along with MacBarens Scottish mixture, Symphony, and Golden Extra make up a solid rotation for my every day smoking that I wouldn’t do without.

I find Mixture Modern closest to Original Choice than to standard Mixture, but Original Choice, in my opinion, is a lot better: its casing and the overall aromatic element is much more exquisite, and also the leaf quality is superior. And, speaking of the aromatic element, Mixture Modern, although it's less cased and tastes a little more to straight tobacco than Original Choice, it's very floral and lacks the peach vanilla flavor of the latter. Mixture Modern could also be compared to Borkum Riff's Scandinavian Mixture, as they both may be classified as Danish light aromatics, but this last blend is a lot better. I think this may be a good blend for those getting started in the noble art of pipe smoking.

This is MB Scotish Mixture with a touch of vanilla, it is also much milder in nicotine and has no tongue bite however you puff.

if you like MB Scotish mixture but you cant handle the tongue bite, try this one.

This is my hands down favorite from MacBaren. Nice room note, pleasant and very mild richness of taste. This is a classical pipe tobacco with all the things you like in aroma and flavor.

McB Danish Mixture … Simply put; I flat don't like this blend. IMHO too much of some sort of an aromatic sweetener has been added to suit my taste. Many seem to love blends that cover up the tobacco taste with a vanilla/fruity casing, if that sounds good to you, this is your tobacco.

a very good blend the cavendish really balances out the burly and virgina taste is a slightly sweet tobacco taste and a that is enjoyable and wont bite you at all this is a really good blend at a value price
