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.

I hae smoked a lot of brands and blends in the last years, but this the one I always return to. It's mild but not shallow. One of my favorites.

I smoked this tobacco in a cheap brebbia pipe, no bite. it has good taste and flavor and an incredible room note. it doesn't burn hot and leaves a fine gray ash , and you can smoke to the end of the bowl with no problem. however it has low nicotine and obviously not a choice for everyday smokers.
pros: good taste,good aftertaste,burns cool and dry,low tar,good room note
cons: low nicotine

Not bad, but toooooo weak for me. Good for begginers. Leaves a great aroma in the room though.

I really like this blend, and I wish I could choose it as a daily for me, but unfortunately, mac baren tobaccos leave me with a tongue bite... I think it' the chemistry of my mouth. Anyway, I recommend it. It's a very decent tobacco.

I like this tobacco, it's one of my favorites from Mac Baren. It has a sweet, fruity room note that my wife likes. I find it fragrant, tasty, and smokes slow and cool. It doesn't bite the tongue. It is something you can smoke all day. And the aroma won't offend your non-smoking friends. I'd buy this again and recommend it highly.

well i have to say it is a quality rounded in flavour tobacco and perfect V/B blend. i cannot see this one in the aromatic realm however the natural taste is nothing to complain about but the room note wont be that adorable. perfect all day smoke burns perfectly to a white fine dry ash,,definitly would consider buying more

Not Good over all! Every bow where just like New for me, cause I really can't remember what it taste like. So that I can't remember nothing after I finish my pouch.

I like this blend a lot having received my first pouch free as a promo from my subscription of Pipe Magazine in 2000. I don't know if this comes in anything other than pouches but if it does I would be interested in that. I've purchased pouches here in Israel that have gone absolutely bone dry. Because of this tongue-bite is almost unavoidable. Despite all of this I find this one to be a stellar product and a good new generation drug store blend.

When I first opened the tin,I smelled a light touch of vanilla,I didn't know if I should smoke it or eat it..It smells excellent. The first bowl was well rounded, easy to light, and staid lit threw most of the bowl.With many Mac Baren tobaccos,if your rush a pipe.. your tounge will pay for it.This blend is hard to get a tounge bite from. Well balanced Virgina,light touch of Burley,and a good mix of Cavendish.If you tried the Vanilla and found it too harsh,try this one.This will stay in my rotation..
