Mac Baren Mixture Modern

The tobacco is a loose ribbon with some black cavendish in the mix. Pouch note is slightly sweet and a little grassy. It came at a good level of hydration for smoking and I smoked it "as is."

The tobacco burned well, and it was a pleasant smoke although a mild on mild experience. It got a fairly consistent flavor that was slightly more intense in the last half of the bowl. I can taste just a little of the Virginia in a light citrus note. The black cavendish adds a whiff of vanilla. The topping is very light and hard to identify. It tastes a little like an over-ripe orange. Room note was pleasant.

This one is good in a mild "all-day" sort of way.

The Virginia's are lightly sweet and grassy, the burley adds depth and the Cavendish lends a hint of sugar and a subtle vanilla note to the finish. However, it's the flavor of the tobacco that's on display here and like any good Danish style aromatic, the room note is very pleasant but the aromatic attributes are mild and play second fiddle to the flavor of the tobacco.

Mixture Modern is reminiscent of Davidoff's Danish Mixture, but this blend has slightly more flavor depth and a bit more complexity. Mild and bite free, Mixture Modern is a solid spring/summer smoke. Recommended.

Not bad at all. I'm currently smoking this as I am writing this review. Tastes great, burns well, and stays lit, plus makes me happy! I actually enjoy this more than Davidoff's danish mixture. That part surprised me. You get a good amount of tobacco for what you pay. Definitely recommend it!

Mac Baren has always been a company of either home runs or strike outs with nothing in between. Either their delicious burley blends or the hottest scorching Virginia's you have ever smoked. MM is a great mix of Burley and Cavendish with their distinctive Honey type topping. Something in this mix allows you to taste the top grade leaf without having to wear asbestos over your tongue to enjoy them. I really cannot smoke these topped Danish blends anymore but I would most definitely recommend MM and will give it 3 stars for little bite and a nice amount of flavor.

Mixture Modern is a nice, tasty blend, albeit in the bland side of things. Not overly sweet, nor goopy, this is a very Danish tobacco: it has a pleasant nose; it?s very mild and, surprisingly so for a Mac Baren, it?s almost bite free. There is a natural sweetness provided by the Virginias, and also by the black Cavendish. However, unlike other varieties of this processed leaf, Mac Baren is using a technique that provides a rich toasty undertone (similar to Larsen blends). This particular feature gives the tobacco greater depth of flavor than, say, the Captain Black or Middelton versions. It definitely is not as artificially sweet.

Personally, this is a Mac Baren I enjoy. I find the Burley very well applied, and if smoked slowly there is a very nice interplay of flavors: nutty, slightly sweet, and bitter. If you?ve been smoking strong Virginia/Perique or heady Latakia mixtures immediately before trying this one, Mixture Modern may seem very bland and almost tasteless. On the other hand, if you?ve been smoking Prince Albert, Carter Hall or Borkum Riff, this will taste very nice.

I would recommend this as a very good beginners? tobacco, or as an intriguing change of pace if looking for an aromatic smoke but with real tobacco flavor. The room aroma is very pleasant, and it has a subdued roasted nuts/raisin kind of flavor. Nice one.

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.
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.

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.

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.
