Brigg Pipe Tobacco: Everyday Enjoyment from Berlin and Denmark
Brigg is a well-known name among many pipe enthusiasts. The brand stands for uncomplicated aromatic pleasure for everyday use, appealing to both beginners and experienced pipe smokers alike. Originally, the line was developed by the Berlin-based tobacco company Planta. Since 2018, the Danish company Mac Baren has continued the legacy, keeping the popular blends alive and constantly evolving them.
From Berlin to the World: The Story of Brigg
Brigg was created by the Planta Tobacco Manufactory, founded in 1956. In Berlin, the company produced tobaccos that stood out through their combination of tradition and modernity. Brigg quickly became a popular choice for everyday smoking enjoyment, especially due to its fruity and aromatic blends offering good value for money.
Planta earned a reputation in the post-war period as a creative and reliable manufacturer. Well-known brands like Danish Black Vanilla and Holger Danske were also part of the portfolio. Brigg was a cornerstone of the brand and especially popular in Germany.
Mac Baren Takes the Helm
In 2018, the Mac Baren Tobacco Company took over the Berlin-based Planta manufactory. The Danish manufacturer, in operation since 1887, is internationally renowned for its premium tobaccos. With Brigg, Mac Baren brought a well-established brand into the fold and chose continuity over disruption.

Mac Baren brings not only decades of experience but also modern processes and global structures. Still, Brigg’s character remains intact: aromatic, accessible, and always with a special touch.
Between Tradition and Fresh Ideas
The Mac Baren Tobacco Company combines classic tobacco craftsmanship with a spirit of innovation. In Svendborg, Denmark, products are created that delight fans of both traditional and modern flavor profiles. By integrating Planta, Mac Baren was not only able to expand its range but also help Brigg reach new audiences.
Today, Brigg stands for uncomplicated enjoyment with sophistication – whether you're just starting out or have been smoking pipes for years.
