Macbarens-Scottish Mixture vs Mixture Scottish Blend ??
Mmm
labeled by the seller as "Macbarens Scotish Mixture"
I currently see tins for sale labeled "Macbarens Mixture Scottish
Blend" I don't see anything for sale called "Scottish Mixture" in the
places I normally look.
Does anyone know if these are the same tobaccos?
thnx,

Mac Baren - Mixture:
http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend_detail.cfm?ALPHA=M&TID=692
A mild and lightly aromatic Scottish Blend, manufactured from ready
rubbed, matured Virginia tobaccos and golden brown Burley grades,
Cavendish and loose, ripe Virginia. Mixture is one of the most popular
pipe tobaccos in the world, and is the leading brand tax free. A
position which Mixture has been able to maintain through decades.
Given the above; you might need to check with the person from whom you
obtained the tobacco.

"According to Mac Baren, this is the same as their Mixture, Scottish
Blend. The latter being its newer name."

And to add to the confusion, many pipe smokers think of "Scottish"
blends as variations of "English" blends which Mac Baren Mixture clearly
does not attempt to be! ;-)
