From a deep, rich foundation of dark Burley, Black Cavendish, and genuine St. James Perique ascend tangy, matured Old Belt Reds, zesty Canadian Brights, and small-leaf Katerini from Greece. Further elevated by notes of mulled wine and stone fruits, the result is a balanced mixture that holds both the light – and the dark – in perfect harmony.
This year’s 4th Generation Small Batch blend pays homage to my grandfather’s storied exhibition, specifically two figural pipes from his collection – one made of wood, the other from meerschaum – both dating to the 1800s.
