Mac Baren Plumcake 8ozo - Rare Fireside Industries distributor era!

This is the legendary Mc Baren’s Plum Cake from an era and with Tobacco‘s most folks simply never get to experience.

Fireside Industries Inc. was a historic US pipe tobacco and cigar distributor best known for importing and distributing Danish-made Mac Baren pipe tobaccos from the late 1960s to 1979.
Later Years (Moonachie, NJ): In September 1970, the company was renamed Fireside Industries Inc. and relocated its headquarters to Moonachie, New Jersey The company officially ceased its role as the primary US importer and distributor for Mac Baren around 1979.
That would make this tin of Tobacco somewhere between 1970 and 1979, a rare gem, indeed.
The tin is in very good condition. The seal appears to be intact, but with this kind of vintage and age on the Tobacco, I suspect a little hydration would go a long way. Enjoy the journey and good smoking.

A mixture of fully ripe Virginia tobaccos, sliced, cask mellowed burley tobaccos, dark spicy cavendish and just a touch of latakia. To give Plumcake an elegant aroma, the blend has been flavoured with aged Jamaica rum. NEW TIN DESCRIPTION: Plumcake brings the thoughts back to old times, when the sailors onboard the sailing ships filled their pipe with good, satisfying tobacco and having the scent of tar and saltwater all around them. Bright Virginia tobaccos mixed with burley, a little original Mac Baren cavendish and just a touch of [Cyprian] latakia. On top of this masterly made blend original Jamaica Rum has been added to fulfill the impression. This blend is full bodied and rich, giving you the taste nuances of natural sweetness added with a slight taste of smoke, latakia and the distinctive aroma of sailor rum.
