Dear Friends,
I sincerely thank you for your interest in our pipe tobaccos. The blends we create represent our dedication to quality craftsmanship, our belief in hard work, and our desire to showcase the natural character of top-tier tobacco leaf.
As Head Blender, I am responsible for selecting the specific tobacco grades that we use in our recipes. The leaf-selection process must be carried out methodically and patiently, requiring visual analysis, consideration of aroma, blend verifications, and multiple rounds of tasting. Choosing the best leaf available is paramount to producing quality blends that we can be proud of — quality that our customers deserve and have come to trust.
Our pipe tobaccos are painstakingly hand blended by skilled craftsmen, utilizing minimal machinery, one small batch at a time. The machines that we employ date to the ’20s and ’40s, and require skill, experience, and mechanical aptitude to operate correctly. We package, seal, and label all our tobacco blends by hand as well, whether bagged or tinned. Our dedication to maintaining this personal touch ensures that our customers receive only the most sophisticated, artisanal, premium tobaccos ever developed.
