Mixture 79

I know this tobacco has a bad rep and I myself have said some pretty bad things about it. I was digging around and found a sealed pouch and decided to give it another try. I LIke it!! Isn't it funny how your tastes can change?
Ok let the bashing begin!!!

I've never been a Mixture 79 hater. I think it has an undeserved reputation. I'm not a lover by any stretch of the imagination, but I have no complaints about it. It is different. Naturally, that's what I like about it. That, and I don't find it terrible. I could say that about a lot of my friends and a lot of my pipes.

Smoke that pipe in good health,

I tried it once. Bought a pouch while running errands one day. Got half way through the first bowl and couldn't take any more. It is the only tobacco I've thrown away! It's worse than the Smokers Pride etc.---much worse. If it was all I could get to smoke--I'd burn my pipes!

....and now for the bad news. My father in-law has smoked it exclusively for some 50 odd years and he tells me that it's very hard to find nowadays. So don't get to liking it to much.

The shelves in our local grocery stores are stocked full of it.

Not the case on either end of Tennessee. I may have to get you to round up 4 or 5 tubs for the ole Man.

There are worse blends than Mix#79 and I would smoke a pipeful occasionally if it didn't ghost pipes so badly.

I have heard plenty of bad things about this specific blend, I have also heard good things about it. I have never tried this one before, so I can't make any comments about it, But on my next TAD I am going to give this one a try and see for myself how I like or dislike it. You never know until you try. 5421.gif
