We have produced pipe tobacco since 1826. 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. One of the reasons for our existence is the passion our owners show each day in their work with tobacco and production, because tobacco cannot be measured or put in spread sheets; you must taste tobacco in order to experience the fragrance and taste. This passion led to the introduction of Mixture in 1958 and soon Mixture became one of the worlds most smoked pipe tobaccos.
