Per Jensen from Mac Baren on Radio Show of January 19, 2021

[admin]

Our featured interview on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show tonight is with Per George Jensen. Most pipe enthusiasts know that Per is the longtime Mac Baren Tobacco Company spokesman. Mac Baren has a long and interesting history that goes back to the year 1887. It has been privately, family owned ever since. We'll cover their interesting history and sadly, Henrik Halberg, the fourth generation owner recently passed, so we'll reminisce on him as well. At the top of the show, for our Pipe Parts segment, Brian will have a Rattray's Marlin Flake tobacco review using the current production from Germany.

He just released a charming video on YouTube on how to pack roll cake tobacco. Hmmm, where is it…

One of these days, someone will convince Mr. Jensen to send a bit of Original Flake this side of the Atlantic.

You may know it as Walnut Flake.

pretty close to how I do coins. And it works wonderfully.

Somewhat surprised at the criticism of Marlin Flake. It's a top 5 current production tobacco for me. I love the effect the cavendish has on the dark stoved virginias. I find it wonderfully smooth smoking with a round sweetness and a touch of funky barnyard that I find irresistible.

Tried this method and it works so well and is really easy to do.

Even though I feel like I've mostly grown out of MacBaren tobacco (regional tastes can vary dramatically), hearing from Per George Jensen is always a delight.

Really a cool informational video. I did not like Vanilla Roll Cake rubbed out; perhaps I need to try stacking the coins.

I wonder why MB releases things like Rustica and Vanilla Roll Cake and yet can’t produce a Virginia Perique flake.

 

[gastro]

Always great to hear Per's voice. Too many stories I need to hear!
