Mac Baren Original Choice
(2.76)
Original Choice is a new pioneering pipe tobacco which will appeal to "novice" pipe smokers and the younger generation. It has a mild, aromatic taste, and the truly remarkable thing about Original Choice is the fact that we have managed to develop a tobacco that does not smart on the tongue.
Original Choice is made of specially selected tobaccos. It is a blend of Virginia tobacco from North Carolina and mild, air-dried Burley from Tennessee. One of the suppliers of the Virginia tobacco is Boyette Farm, where the Boyette family has been working since 1797 to produce the best possible Virginia qualities. Their success has been due in part to the warm and dry climate. It is now the fifth generation that has taken its place behind the solid oak writing desk to play roulette with Mother Nature, as the family puts it. Fortunately, thanks to generations of experience, the odds are stacked in favor of the Boyette family. That is why a plug of Original Choice is always a good idea. The packaging is made of an exclusive type or corrugated card, which not only looks good and protects the tobacco but is also completely environment-friendly. It is not every year that Mac Baren Tobacco launches new types of tobacco. That is why we have pulled out all the stops to make full use of our experience and our production of the new blends. That is also why we have managed to make sure that Original Choice does not smart on the tongue. Numerous test smokers have already given Original Choice their approval and have already made it their first choice.
Notes: Introduced in 1998.

After one year pipe smoking experience this product is my number one. I know there must be better tobaccos, but ? haven't tasted them yet.
Burning process is wonderful. Easy lighting. It is not like heavy aromatic tobaccos, however it has a good room smell.

Visited my local tobacco store with the intent of picking up a tin. They had a decent selection of various Mac Baren. I wanted to pick the right one but was not sure which one that would be. So I whipped out my Razr and did some research on tobaccoreviews.com. Among the blends that were available I decided upon Original Choice. It was a good decision indeed! As I open the lid the warm yummy fragrance of some sort of buttery honey rush up to my nose. My palette gravitates more toward English blends but what is exploring about but walking down new paths and finding new lands? This my friends is that new land. Anywayyy, thanks for the suggestions glad I picked this one up. Cheers!

And suddenly my pipe turned into a caramel candy bar...
This is a mild, light, smooth and - yes - sweet blend. However, unlike other sweet aromatics I have tried, this one really comes with a very pleasant flavor.
Easy to pack and light, reasonably dry and low maintenance - but it burns quite hot and fast.

Very nice tobacco. I have both Original Choice and Vanilla Cream, they are not very different, except for a slight vanilla flavour present in Vanilla Cream.
This burns evenly, I didn't had any bites and room note is wife approved. 🙂
I am still a pipe beginner, and I would recommend this one to beginners.

Ordered a tin of Original Choice when I ordered my tin of plumcake back several months ago just to have something else to try. You know, didn't want just one thing in that box. Not disappointed. Enjoy smoking this. Nothing special, but special enough for me to make sure I keep some on hand.

Premium Virginias, Burley and Black Cavendish, a smooth, tasty, cool smoke with almost no tongue bite (if smoked slowly) and the perfect moisture right from the pouch. The flavoring reminds me of dried peach, making one of the best aromatics I've every tried.

This was my first pipe smoke, and although it was nice, it is not something I currently smoke, surely not on a daily basis, right now it's in a jar, left for ageing.

Brilliant composition. It's a must for all aromatic lovers. If you smoke this baccy you'll collect a lot of flattering comment on its fragrance. Like a fruit-cak. Minus 1 star 'cause it is extra light 🙁
