Description

    5 tins in this lot

    2 - Germain's Medium Flake (Manufactured 2019)
    1 - Germain's Plum Cake
    1 - Esoterica Margate
    1 - Esoterica Dorchester

    Germain's Medium Flake both have codes 1072D105 which indicates it was manufactured in 2019. Germain's Medium Flake is a highly regarded, albeit hard-to-find, Virginia-forward tobacco, often described as a top-tier, lightly topped aromatic or matured straight Virginia blend. Reviews highlight a golden, easily handled broken flake/shag hybrid that delivers a sweet, citrusy, and earthy smoke with notes of bread, hay, and honey. It offers a mild-to-medium strength and is generally considered a smooth all-day smoke for those who can secure a tin

    Germain's Plum Cake with code 1362H043 indicates a 2023 manufacture date. J.F. Germain & Son Plum Cake Mixture is a high-quality, traditional British tobacco featuring Virginia, Cavendish, and a subtle plum topping. It is generally described as a mild to medium "old aromatic" with a ribbon cut, notes of spiced wine and dark fruit, and very low tongue bite when smoked slowly.

    Esoterica Dorchester with code 1228G031 indicates a 2022 manufacture date. Esoterica Dorchester is a highly regarded, moderately spiced Virginia/Perique (VaPer) blend crafted by J.F. Germain & Son, often described as a top-tier, "flavor bomb" blend. It features a base of sweet Virginia tobaccos and moderate Perique, offering notes of dried fruit (raisins/figs), bread, citrus, and a gentle pepperiness.

    Esoterica Dunbar with code 1043D081 indicates a 2019 manufacture date. Esoterica Dunbar is a highly regarded Virginia/Perique (VaPer) blend, often lauded for its rich, complex, and cool-smoking characteristics. It features seven types of Virginia tobacco blended with Louisiana Perique, offering a sweet, slightly fruity (apricot/fig) flavor profile with a piquant, spicy finish, typically appearing in a rubbed-out broken flake.
