    My Mixture 965 new and old

    Not for the John Aylesbury group. Here are some retailers off the top of my head: Pfeifen Huber, Tabakhaus Falkum, Pfeifendepot and Peter Heinrichs. Just go through their website offerings, many of those blends can be found there under different names. Happy hunting!

    My Mixture 965 new and old

    Oh easy…. Those blends are bought in bulk from STG out of Denmark, are tinned and sold by Kopp Tobaccos in Germany under various house blend names in Germany. All three blends are available under various different names at some pipe tobacco retailers in Germany.

    My Mixture 965 new and old

    No. DTM also produces for them - as Mac Baren also did but not anymore (but they still have old stock).

    The Sale of Mac Baren Proved Costly

    My TLDR: The Danish company Halberg Group, which used to own Mac Baren Tobacco, lost about $33 million after selling the tobacco company to Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) in 2024.
