2016 Esoterica Sampler | Stonehaven | Peacehaven | Margate | No Reserve

Have you tried the fabled greats? Ever since 2020, the availability of the Esoterica Tobacciana pipe tobacco blends has plummeted. The quest to get your hands on some of these "holy grails" of pipe tobacco can take years.

If you are looking for an opportunity to sample some of these legendary blends, and not break the bank, then this is your chance!

This auction contains 3 of the legendary greats with 10 years of age:
1.5 oz Stonehaven (2016)
2.0 oz of Peacehaven (2016)
2.1 oz of Margate (2016)

About the blends:
---------------------------
Stonehaven: Esoterica Stonehaven is a sought-after by experienced smokers for its deep, satisfying, and often meditative experience despite its highly challenging availability. A traditional English flake tobacco blending air-cured leaf, nutty Burley, and dark Virginias, Stonehaven is a refined, rich, sweet, earthy, cocoa-like, and complex smoke with added notes of dark fruit, chocolate and molasses. The mouthfeel is creamy and luxurious and the finish is long and deeply satisfying.

Peacehaven: Peacehaven was a very popular Esoterica offering and is now quite difficult to find. Peacehaven is a mellow straight Virginia flake tobacco known for its sweet, citrusy notes and hints of apricot, grass, and caramel. The flavor is refined, yet simple when fresh but your sampler comes with 10 years of cellar age! The taste will have now developed darker and zestier notes.

Margate: Esoterica Margate is a highly-regarded, classic full-bodied English blend featuring rich, smoky Cyprian Latakia, spicy Orientals, and sweet Virginias. It packs and burns exceptionally well, offering a robust, complex, yet balanced medium-to-full smoke with a satisfying depth. Margate is often compared to its famous counterpart, Penzance, but it has its own unique character that has to be tasted to be appreciated! This is a clear favorite of English blend enthusiasts.
