Germains 1820 Mixture Loose Pipe Tobacco
Germain & Son commenced manufacturing tobacco back in 1820. A family business located in Jersey boasting perfect climatic controlled conditions. The experience gained by succeeding generations in the art of blending has produced the range of fine individual tobaccos available today. Their new factory is situated on the site of the original premises facing the harbour of St Helier from whence, 180 years ago, Jersey-built schooners sailed to many parts of the world, some returning with cargoes of leaf tobacco for Germain's factory.
Germain's 1820 Flake stands out as a distinguished blend renowned for its unique flavour profile.
Crafted from high-quality Virginia tobaccos complemented by a touch of Perique for added complexity, this blend offers a smoking experience like no other. Upon cracking open the tin, you're met with a delightful aroma characterized by sweet and fruity notes, often accompanied by subtle hints of hay or grassiness. The tobacco is expertly presented in thin, pressed flakes, showcasing a range of hues from medium to dark brown
Germain's 1820 Flake is typically considered a medium to medium-full strength blend with a medium to full body, making it suitable for a broad range of pipe smokers. The room note may be perceived as slightly spicy and fruity, which can be appealing to those around you.
