Erinmore Mixture
The recipe for Erinmore Mixture is a closely guarded secret which is revealed to only two people in each generation. It is known, however, that the tobaccos are selected from the premier tobacco growing regions of the world, naturally sweetened bright Virginia is hand blended with cool-smoking black Cavendish to produce the unique flavor and distinctive aroma of Erinmore. More than that we cannot reveal. A mellow aromatic tobacco with a cool taste and a slow-burning easy-smoking style.
MacBaren Vanilla Cream
A colorful blend mixed with cut plugs. Made from specially selected and aged Virginia and mild black Cavendish tobaccos blended with an exceptional vanilla flavour. This selection creates an outstanding blend with superior flavor, unique aroma and distinctive taste experience.
MacBaren H H Bold Kentucky
This is the strongest pipe tobacco among the blends in the Mac Baren range and is not recommended for inexperienced pipe smokers. HH Bold Kentucky contains a high amount of the finest dark fired Kentucky from the USA and Africa, and is combined with bright Virginias to soften the taste just a bit. Still the taste is of earthiness with just a slight nuance of sweetness as the underlying taste, which comes from the leaf itself and the hot press, which marries the different tobaccos together. Like all the other HH blends this blend has only an absolute minimum of casing and no top flavor at all.
MacBaren Dark Twist
Whole leaves are used as wrapper for the rope and the inlay is divided into two groups. The first group contains 100% pure Virginia tobaccos, meaning that the whole leaves are used as wrapper leaves and the leaves with small imperfections are used as the inlay. The second group contains whole Virginia leaves as wrapper and Dark Fired Kentucky as inlay, meaning you see the dark tobacco in the centre and the brighter Virginias around it. After the tobaccos have been spun into ropes it is stored for weeks and then cut into small coins. The blend of MacBaren Dark Twist is broken down as follows. For every 2 coins of Virginia tobacco there is 1 coin with a centre of Dark Fired Kentucky. Like most of MacBaren spun tobaccos, water and maple sugar are boiled and added to the tobacco. This is all that is added, so the taste is very natural with the interplay between the natural sweet Virginias and light sour and smoky flavour from the Dark Fired Kentucky perfectly blended to create a natural tobacco taste.

A Virginia blend like no other, it uses rich Virginias pressed in cakes along with Orientals, a pinch of Latakia, & a pinch of Perique. This gives the blend a smooth, creamy, & appropriately sweet flavour along with hints of dried fruit, a touch of dark chocolate, & light smoke.
Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Rum Barrel Aged

The result? A perfect marriage of rum essence with his classic Virginia style blend.

Cornell & Diehl Deception Pass

Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake
1792 Flake is a full-strength yet mellow tobacco comprising a blend of dark fired Tanzanian leaf. It starts as 7 lbs. of hand stripped leaf and goes through a steaming process prior to being pressed. The cake, having been prepared, is wrapped in a select leaf and packed by hand into a 12 inch square. This cake is pressed and left for a minimum of two hours. The pressed cake is then placed into a steam press where it is baked at full heat for two to three hours to give it the characteristic rich & dark color. Its hardening occurs during cooling. Once the process of cutting the flake and adding a tonquin flavor is carried out, hand wrapping and packing finalizes 1792, making it ready for rubbing into your pipe.
G.L. Pease Westminster
The very essence of the traditional English mixture; rich, elegant, refined, and exquisitely balanced. New World red Virginias are enhanced with a gentle caress of bright leaf, then lavishly seasoned with rich oriental tobaccos and generous measures of noble Cyprus mountain Latakia. A satisfying blend, presenting layers of flavor to delight the senses as it develops in the bowl.
G.L. Pease Jackknife Plug
The first blend in the New World Collection from G.L. Pease, JackKnife Plug is an all natural blend of dark-fired Kentucky leaf, and ripe, red Virginia tobaccos, layered on a central core of golden flue-cured leaf, providing deep, earthy flavors with a hint of bright sweetness. The tobaccos are pressed and matured in cakes before being cut into 2oz blocks. JackKnife is a stout blend. The dark-fired leaf adds a subtle smokiness and a subtle finish reminiscent of dark chocolate, while the Virginia tobaccos provide a sturdy backbone. The separation of the dark & red Virginias from the core of bright was not just an aesthetic choice. It was done to allow the bright’s flavours to retain some of their clarity, allowing them to linger on the palate along with the deeper taste.
