I don't dislike M79. I always have some around. I just wish it has a higher grade of leaf. And I'd like it more if they kept the old recipe. But you can't have everything.
Life Affirming Pipe Experience And Is Mixture 79 So Bad?

Dr. Pooper?? Well, that'd be my cue to avoid it like the Wuhan virus!It's really good.. tastes like Dr. Pepper to me.
Except I did buy some a few months ago. Wasn't impressed, though. I've only had one small bowl of it.
Don't slander the good Dr! The finest of the "big sodas!" Even the diet version is good! Gotta buy a couple ounces of 79 to try
Very much dig Mix 79, it's even found it's way to a dedicated pipe for me. You get the burley flavor (a milder affair from the toasted, but nice) meeting the casings/topings halfway in flavor. Never tried Peretti's No Name...if I'm in the mood for my CC # being stolen again I'll add it to my next order.
If KBV was repackaging Mix 79 and had a trendy Lovecraft-Anime mash-up name it would fly off the shelves. "Innsmouth Bebop".....with double-stoved weed and arcane tinctures yada yada. The cool kids would be camped on Instagram to buy it out a minute after it went for sale.

Ugh! No, thanks. I'd rather drink latakia-laced mineral water. ?
Couple of years ago, maybe. But with my stomach already on fire every day, I'll pass. ?
I hear ya, the older I get I have to give up more and more of my spicy food.
Fun fact, I heard that flaming drinks were one of the reasons the quit making Bacardi 151.
It flames enough non the way out as one gets older
Mixture 79 is OK. Assertions that the tobacco is inferior seem overstated. Develops a great bowl scent, if anyone digs that. The initial experience may be off-putting because it's quite different from straight VAs, VaPers, "English" blends, and Sir Walter Raleigh, etc. I laugh at reviews where the writer sets fire to a bowl, takes a few puffs, and then hurls it. This is, of course, the proper response to an apparent nicotinic obscenity. But the weird soapy taste grows on you, up to the point where you actually crave it. Each to his own. And if the pure version is too much, dilute it with Granger or something. I used to mix it with Mac Baren's Golden Extra, and I've never had as many positive "What is that you're smoking?" queries as with that concoction.
I agree that today's version is not quite the same as yesteryear's. Neither is Half-and-Half. Neither is Ronson lighter fluid, for that matter.

I am not a big fan of licorice but I tried it anyway. The Licorice flavor was just to much for me, but you never know until you try it. I am curious how this tasted before they changed it.
I'm not a fan. I don't hate it, I just find it kind of boring and the room note is just....odd. Not bad, not good, just weird. I have a pouch that will eventually get smoked, but I likely won't buy more. I don't understand why it gets so mercilessly bashed though. It's not anything particularly horrible.
Oh, and if you don't like Dr. Pepper you can't be trusted. Outside of maybe Diet Canada Dry, Diet DP is the best diet soda that exists.

Could anyone actually be able to describe to someone who never had Dr Pepper what it tastes like? I just need to find a tobacco that tastes like Captain Crunch...
A) This statement is so on point.
B) Your 79 pipe is a beauty!
C) KBV really should mix some oriental and Latakia with 79, press a cake, and name it Innsmouth Bebop. Or B'gnu Thun Zonei... a Lovecraftian spin on Bengal Slices? I'd camp out with the cool kids for that!
See you space cowboy...
I’ve never tried Dr Pepper or captain crunch...bit if captain crunch tastes anything like the sweet milk leftover after a bowl of corn flakes, I’d try cutting MB golden extra with a simple burley.
I'm a Dr. Pepper attic, so I guess I know what's going on my shopping cart at SMIt's really good.. tastes like Dr. Pepper to me.
