Per Jensen of Mac Baren on Radio Show of May 1, 2018

[admin]

Our featured interview on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show tonight is with Per Georg Jensen of The Mac Baren Tobacco Company. Per will be revealing some of the new items that will be released at the upcoming Chicago pipe show, such as HH Burley and Balkan Blend. Be sure to visit the Mac Baren booth for samples, and to become part of their new video series on why you smoke a pipe. There is also a huge surprise on a cult tobacco coming back. In Pipe Parts, Brian will do a review of Presbyterian Mixture.

Cool, an H&H Burley sounds promising. I hope it's got some umph to it.

 

[rokerdepipe]

Something to look forward to. I'll have to make it down to Chicago one of these days.

 

[unkleyoda]

I'm excited for the Chicago Pipe Show. First time I've ever gone to a pipe show, I'm hoping it'll be fun. I'm looking forward to meeting Per.

Still trying to talk myself into making the drive...

 

[woopigpiper]

A new burley flake is worth the drive! I hope Mac Baren knocks this one out of the park. Plus, having another good burley flake that isn't unobtainable like the Solani/Wessex would be nice.

 

[JimInks]

I've been smoking the Burley Flake, listing it as "Mystery Blend" because I wasn't supposed to spill the info yet. I've about finished my review and will post it this weekend, as I was asked to do. And yes, I like it quite a bit.

 

[npod]

Can’t wait to see the review JimInks. After listening to the show I’m intrigued.

 

[johnsteam86]

I can't wait for the Three Nuns w/ Perique

 

[JimInks]

I'll be reviewing that one as soon as I get it. Being a long time Three Nuns smoker, I want to try that one.

 

[3rdguy]

Will be one of my first stops when I get to the show!

 

[artificialme]

I don't want to listen to this just because I can't go to Chicago pipe show :crying:

 

[unkleyoda]

Still trying to talk myself into making the drive...

How long of a drive? Mine's 5-6 hours, 350 miles.

 

[rocketdog]

How may more tobaccos will be lost to time and regulations. Got my order in for some HH

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Hey Brian, any idea on the timetable for that Amphora Virginia?

 

[morgansteele]

Ugh, excited for you guys that can make Chicago but I'm a no go. But, I'll be there in Vegas in November. Great podcast this week, and looking forward to JimInks' review of the new HH burley.

 

[JimInks]

The Amphora Virginia and Burley Flake should be on sale very soon, I imagine. I have a nice stash of the AV, and have reviewed it already.

 

[slrichman]

Kevin, I listened to the interview overnight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Per is fascinating. By the way, my appreciation of Mac Baren products (Navy Flake, Plumcake, and Scottish Blend especially), which I've known about since the 1960s, grows by the day.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

Really looking forward to the Three Nuns with Perique, the HH Burley, and the Amphora Virginia. Always good when Per stops by the show. Have fun in Chicago everyone, hope to join you all there next year.
