Description

    Margate Mixture: 2018 (1 X 8oz. Bag)
    Well known as the rich & creamy shag cut Olde Style English Mixture rivaling that of Penzance also by J.F. Germain & Son. Smoked for its excellent burn quality, Margate is often compared to the original The Balkan Sobranie. This mouth-filling smoke is dry, cool, and tasty.

    Pembroke Mixture: 2017 & 2019 (3 X 50g. Tins)
    Esoterica Pembroke is essentially Esoterica Margate softened with a fine French Cognac topping. This shag mixture of Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Virginia is as luxurious as it is delicious. If you enjoy Orientals and Latakia but like a sweeter overall tone, Pembroke is an example of as good as it gets!

    And So to Bed: 2019 (1 X 50g. Tin)
    This blend by J.F. Germain & Son is THE ideal blend for the evening! Quality Virginias and Maryland-type tobaccos are carefully aged and blended with Greek "Oriental" leaf and top-grade Cyprian Latakia. The blend is then processed and additionally matured to produce a mellow, full-strength smoke. This blend is stout!

    J.F. Germain & Son: Club Mixture - 2017 (1 X 50g. Tin)
    A superb blend best enjoyed with spirits, this mixture has a tangy, sour bread note and a delicate, dry sweetness described as wine-like. Not produced often, this smoke can be lit once and enjoyed all the way to the bottom!

    J.F. Germain & Son: Our Best Blend - 2017 & 2018 (3 X 2oz. Tins)
    A fabulous Balkan comprised of Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, and Virginias with wine, leather, and salt notes. A shag cut that deepens through the bowl when smoked, this blend is rich!

    J.F. Germain & Son: Select Mixture - 2018 (1 X 2oz. Tins)
    Well aged Virginias with just enough world-renoun ripe Orientals to produce spice and cool burning delight! Select Mixture has just enough Latakia to add zest and smokiness. This blend is rich without being heavy.

    J.F. Germain & Son: Eighteen-Twenty - 2018 (1 X 50g. Tin)
    An English blend made up of Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Virginias, this blend is smooth lasting the entire bowl. This is the oldest of the J.F. Germain’s blends. Sometimes compared to The Balkan Sobranie, this classic blends stands on its own!

    J.F. Germain & Son: King Charles Smoking Mixture - 2010 (2 X 50g. Tin)
    A mixture of high grade Cyprus latakia, Oriental and Virginia tobaccos. An English classic from the room note to the smoke. This mixture is sometimes referred to as ā€œMargate Liteā€ and reminiscent of the original Presbyterian blend from almost a century ago.
