Germains Pipe Tobacco

Filter

      Germain & Son commenced manufacturing tobacco back in 1820. A family business located in Jersey boasting perfect climatic controlled conditions.

      The experience gained by succeeding generations in the art of blending has produced the range of fine individual tobaccos available today. Their new factory is situated on the site of the original premises facing the harbour of St Helier from whence, 180 years ago, Jersey-built schooners sailed to many parts of the world, some returning with cargoes of leaf tobacco for Germain's factory.

      The name of this tobacco originates from the early days when all tobaccos were pressed into cakes before cutting. Four types of Virginian tobaccos are blended with Cavendish and a specially prepared Black Tobacco.

      Germain tobaccos are sort of anachronistic in a sense, or at least that's the perception. In fact, they produce (and maybe one of the last) old-school tobacco blends of the kind that were hugely popular around the second World War. If you buy an old estate patent-era Dunhill, then that pipe might well have been smoking some of these blends. The Royal Jersey Cavendish and Virginia is a terrific blend -- and while it's not one of those home run types of four star plus signature blends, it's very fine and hugely underrated tobacco (IMHO).

      The Germains Full Latakia is made using Cyprian Latakia leaf with the usual distinctive leathery, tarry odour accompanied by a characterful smokey flavour, which is due to a long curing process over smokey fires.

      Germains have sufficiently moistened the tobacco to provide a clean cool smoke.

      Latakia is the Marmite of the tobacco world, you will either love it or hate it.
      It is usually added to a blend in small proportions to add extra character and complexity to a blend, it is not generally smoked pure by even the most avid Latakia enthusiasts.
