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.

       A powerful blend of Latakia, Orientals and Virginias, a treat for any Latakia Junie.

      The tobacco has an oaky aroma from the packet. Once lit the tobacco is alive with the creamy nature of the Orientals, a wonderful oaky colouring from the Virginias and rich BBQ pungency from the latakia.

      The Latakia takes centre stage with the others creating the mood and backing.

      Medium strength ribbon cut blend of the finest Cyprian Latakia, Oriental and flue-cured tobacco. Recommended for the experienced smoker. 50g.

      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 Virginias are grassy with a little earth, a fair amount of citrus, and minor fruit notes. They direct the smoking experience and play well with the other components. The smoky, very woody, Orientals have a moderate spice hit as an ever-present second lead. It also offers a slight sourness to contrast the little creamy sweetness it possesses. The smoky, woody sweet Cyprian latakia is a backup player, and while not forceful in any way, it’s evident in every puff. Well balanced with a little complexity, though I notice a very slight recession of sweetness in the last quarter. There is no topping. No bite. Being a shag cut, it burns well even though the tobacco is mildly moist out of a freshly opened tin. No dry time is necessary. Has a moderate nic-hit due to the strength of the Orientals. The strength is closer to medium than it is to mild, and the taste just barely hits the medium mark. Leaves virtually no moisture in the bowl, and requires very few relights. Has a pleasant spicy aftertaste and a woody room note. Reminds me of a less potent version of Skiff, and is almost an all-day smoke for the average smoker in this genre. Experienced smokers may find this is very repeatable during their smoking day, but may find the subtleness of the latakia a little unfulfilling if they like more latakia dominant blends. Three and a half stars out of four.

      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.
