1 Tin J.F. Germain King Charles
Balkan Sobranie
The iconic revival of a legendary Balkan classic, blending robust Latakia with exquisite Orientals (including prized Yenidje) and bright Virginias. Sweet and smoky with floral, spicy, and earthy notes, it delivers a medium-strength smoke of extraordinary complexity and finesse. Revered for its historical pedigree and flawless harmony, this is the quintessential Balkan experience – rare, refined, and utterly captivating.
Esoterica Margate
A classical English mixture in the "old style," featuring generous premium Cyprian Latakia, choice Orientals, and Virginias. This robust, full-bodied blend offers a campfire-like smokiness with tangy spice, subtle sweetness, and a creamy smoothness that's often described as "imminently satisfying." The fine shag cut packs effortlessly and burns coolly, revealing layers of complexity from start to finish. Many consider it one of the finest English blends available – dark, rich, and harmonious.
J.F. Germain's King Charles Mixture
An elegant, lighter English blend showcasing exceptional balance with high-grade Cyprian Latakia, zesty Orientals, and premium Virginias. The Latakia provides a subtle smoky backdrop, allowing the sweet, tangy, and complex natural tobacco flavors to shine through. Described as rich yet approachable for all-day smoking, it evolves beautifully in the bowl with notes of buttery sweetness and oceanic depth. A refined choice for those who appreciate nuance without overwhelming strength.
