So I love to try things other people hate. I'm like the inverse of a band wagon jumper. Anyway, I was thinking of ordering some Mixture 79 but I thought I would check to here to see if anyone has a (relatively) fresh pouch they could send me. Enough people claim to hate it, I figure there's got to be at least one out there.

Speaking for myself, it's a good way to establish what the bottom rung is on the blends ladder. You can still get it at most drug stores or even gas stations. It's cheap; and rightly so. If you do try it, use a pipe you care little about.

I had some a long time ago, I think if you like lakelands you won't hate it. It's like an OTC burley scented lakeland, instead of having a high quality VA as the base.

I like the Lakeland blends. Mixture 79 does have its fans. It was one of the first blends I smoked in 1970. Once was quite enough for me. I found it to be very much like the old Bond Street. I guess everyone should try everything at least once.

I smoked it just once, borrowing a bowl from my dad. I didn't find it so terrible, but no way could I find myself smoking it unless there was no other choice.

I have a suggestion for another awful blend if you're really looking to go against the grain. Blender's Gold Royal Cherry Cavendish, pretty easy to find in a drug store. Thinking of it still gives me shudders.

Let us know what you think of it when you try it. I've thought of ordering some myself.

I have smoked it plenty; not too bad. I am told it was Aaron Spelling's favorite blend.

That was one of the best gags I've seen since I started hanging out here.
I've never thought of Canadians as funny but, my God, some of the funniest people in my lifetime were born there:
John Candy and everybody else from SCTV

Dan Aykroyd

Rich Little

Seth Rogen

Leslie Nielson

and the truly gifted Phil Hartman
Pat sticking those wonderful treats in a pair of Mixture 79 tins to Peck was a gas.

Lets not forget:
Jim Carrey (not my cup of tea, but some find him funny)
Tommy Chong
Norm Macdonald (one of my favourites)
Howie Mandel
Lorne Michaels
Mike Myers

I offed mine a week ago, smoked half a bowl, it was like taking crappy tobacco, covering it in perfume and then smoking it. pretty sure my cob is garbage after that.
