TASTING PACK

Latest update July 26, 2022

We have been developing and refining these blends for nearly 30 years. Over this period we made use of a Tobacco Blending company in London, who acted as a consultant and supplier of special blending tobaccos. This gave us access to a vast store of experience and to naturally full-flavoured tobaccos such as Perique, Latakia, and matured Virginias. (Read more about Tobaccos, including Latakia & Perique - "In a Nutshell")

The aromatic (artificially flavoured) blends were not as easy, as we did not have access to the chemical formulae which make each blend unique. We now import smooth Burley-based, concentrated flavoured tobaccos from the USA and flavoured Virginias from Germany, which are then blended in South Africa to our instructions.

FOR BLENDING

No.8 Navy Cut Full Full strength, dark, rubbed flake. Non-aromatic. Ideal to strengthen a blend. 50g 250g 500g R94.00 R436.90 R795.00	No.59 Dark Transvaal Strong, unpressed, easy-burning. 50g 250g 500g R94.00 R436.90 R795.00
No.19 Pure Latakia This tobacco makes an excellent flavouring agent, taking away any cloying sweetness. It normally constitutes up to 15% of a blend. 50g 250g 500g R104.00 R484.30 R881.50	No.20 Pure Perique A tobacco with a sweet and flavourful taste achieved by long cold maturation, it is strong and spicy, and less than 5% is usually sufficient. 50g R215.00

Note: It is very difficult to spread pure Perique evenly throughout a mixture - it is much better to mix it in before processing. To create an homogeneous blend including Perique, use No.58 which contains a high percentage of Perique already spread and mellowed, and much easier to incorporate.

Once you have settled in with your tobacco you may occasionally feel like
a change in flavour, but may be hesitant to try a new blend.
This is the time to try a different pipe.

Corncob, Clay and Meerschaum all give a different taste to your tobacco
- since they don't have the flavour of lightly charcoaled briar.
You'll be surprised and pleased at the change.

Have fun experimenting, and don't be shy to ask.

Enjoy your tobacco!
