Many fellow companies were making pipe tobacco at that time but most have closed and today Mac Baren is one of the very few still around to make quality pipe tobacco. This passion led to the introduction of Mixture in 1958 and soon Mixture became one of the worlds most smoked pipe tobaccos. A precise blending of aged Maduro, Black Cavendish, and toasted Cavendish gives this dark aromatic tobacco its rich, smooth taste and sweet finish. Light up Black Forest and you’ll be greeted with flavors of vanilla, caramel, and butternut among others. A single large cigar can contain more than a half-ounce of tobacco — as much tobacco as an entire pack of cigarettes.
This Burley based blend starts with a dry sweetness and matures into a mildly aromatic smoke with hints of Cocoa and Cinnamon. In 2015 Mac Baren bought the brand names Three Nuns and Capstan and finally these legendary blends found their place at a pipe tobacco house after decades of travelling between different manufacturers. In 2018 the 2 new Three Nuns were introduced only 121 years after the original Three Nuns. Comprised of red Virginias, generous amounts of course and cube cut Burleys and a whisper of Perique, this blend offers a rich, medium-bodied smoke with the subtleties of nuts and spice. A blend of special light and dark tobaccos flavored with genuine Scotch whiskey from the Highland of Scotland. Black Cavendish brings its vanilla magic to the foreground while the perfect touch of Golden Cavendish rounds out the flavor.
The most common color grades are lemon, golden, and red. Ignoring a great many factors , the color of a VA relates to its sugar content. Tobacco that is cured longer will be less sweet than a tobacco cured quickly. The actual strain of tobacco can vary, although tobacco that isn’t native to the soils of Louisiana doesn’t yield a good product.
Peaches & Cream is a mild to medium strength, all-day smoke with the perfect dollop of light sweetness and no bite. This blend offers tasty notes of chocolate, vanilla, and cherry, just like the famous ice cream Pipe Tobacco in Cans medley of Naples, Italy! Enjoy rich flavors and a smooth, mild smoke while others enjoy Neapolitan’s delicious aroma. Smoking cigars or pipes increases the likelihood of having heart disease or a stroke.
Men with unquantifiable alcohol consumption were excluded from this analysis. A likelihood ratio test was used to test for multiplicative interaction between pipe smoking and alcohol consumption. The name of this candle peaked my interest, I felt like this could be nostalgia like back when tobacco was in the isles and not behind the counter. I remember walking past the tobacco pipe bags and catching a scent of cherry and other notes. This kinda sorta gives you that before you light it scent.
Some producers use humectants to maintain a specific moisture level in the final product. You’ll hear people talk about PG, or propylene glycol, the most commonly used humectant these days. It’s generally spoken of in rather disparaging terms, thought it’s not the PG that deserves the condemnation, but the blending houses who use it with reckless abandon. If the tobacco won’t dry out, PG is likely the culprit.
Be sure to take a gander at our wide array of tobacco pipes to enjoy all of the you’re stocking up on. With a crowd pleasing room note and real tobacco flavor, Cult Blood Red Moon is a popular aromatic that appeals to many pipe smokers.

Archaeological investigation has linked the first smoking pipes, made of copper, to Egypt around 2000 B.C. The pipes were found inside of tombs, next to mummies, though it’s not clear if the pipes were used for religious ceremonies or were recreational. Romans, Greeks, Celts, and Nordic tribes also smoked pipes, probably having picked it up from their travels east. Hippocrites – the Greek who gave birth to medicine and the Hippocratic Oath – prescribed “smoking herbs in a pipe” to treat female maladies.
Its role as a complement to VA’s is not just because of its flavor. Being acidic, it tends to alleviate alkaline tongue bite, which is so often a problem with Virginia tobacco. Not all flavoured tobaccos are cased, and casing is not always a bad thing, but the term is used incorrectly more often than not, so a lot of confusion has been created.

Tobaccoland is about tobacco; its history, legends, literature, cultivation, social and hygienic influences, commercial development, industrial processes and governmental regulation..
In the U.S., burley tobacco plants are started from pelletized seeds placed in polystyrene trays floated on a bed of fertilized water in March or April. Transplanting begins in May and progresses through June with a small percentage set in July. Producers must contend with major diseases such as black shank and blue mold and insects like aphids, hornworms and budworms. Plants are topped by removing the developing flower head at approximately 60 days from transplanting and treated to prevent the growth of side shoots called suckers. Topping allows energy that would have produced a bloom to promote leaf expansion.
