The Mac Baren Tobacco Company is a Danish manufacturer of tobacco products. The company manufactures a range of pipe tobaccos, rolling tobaccos and smokeless tobaccos in their factory in Svendborg.
The company was established in 1887, when founder Harald Halberg purchased Svend Bønnelycke's tobacco spinning mill[4] and continued as a modern tobacco factory under the name Harald Halberg Tobaks- og Cigarfabrik. (Harald Halberg Cigar- and Tobacco factories)[5] The company was renamed the Mac Baren Tobacco Company in 1995,[4] as the company had become synonymous with its successful Mac Baren line of pipe tobaccos.[5]
The company remains family-owned,[2] and Henrik Halberg is both the firm's owner,[1] and chief blender. The company employs 140 people, and exports tobacco products to 70 countries.[3]
The company's most popular line of tobaccos is currently its Mixture line of pipe tobaccos, introduced in 1958. Mac Baren's Choice series is a line of mild aromatic pipe and flavoured hand-rolling tobaccos aimed at a younger audience. In 2010, Mac Baren introduced 7 Seas,[5] a line of American-style aromatic pipe tobaccos broadly similar to,[6] and intended to compete with, STG's Captain Black.
In 2013, Mac Baren agreed to purchase Sutliff Tobacco, the Pipe Tobacco Division of Altadis USA,[7][8] immediately renaming the company back to its original name of Sutliff Tobacco Company. Sutliff was thereafter appointed distributor of all Mac Baren products sold in the United States.[8]
