Germain’s Gold Leaf RR 500g bag of pipe tobacco is a blend of  brown and gold flue cured Virginia tobacco with no added topping or flavour. On opening the tin you are greeted an orange aroma associated with only the finest Virginia leaf. The leaves have been mildly pressed to give it the feel of broken flake. This ensures an even, cool and slow burn rate. Expertly blend to give a sweet honey flavour with notes of citrus fruit and light spice. The tobacco is mild to medium in terms of its strength and nicotine content with a pleasant room note. One of the finest Virginia blends on the market – a perfect all day smoke.

J F Germain’s & Sons are one of the last true British pipe tobacco blenders. Based in Jersey they have been producing the finest quality pipe tobaccos since 1820. Germain’s pipe tobacco is notoriously difficult to obtain as demand exceeds supply so buy it when available.

Presented in a 500g bag Germain’s Gold Leaf RR pipe tobacco has the feel of a broken flake and could benefit from being lightly rubbed out before loading into the bowl. To fully appreciate the flavour and taste we recommend that the mixture is smoked at a slow pace to

• prevent the tobacco burning hot which will impair the taste and aroma,
• cause the pipe to overheat potentially causing the dreaded tongue bite.

Germain’s Gold Leaf pipe tobacco is also available in a 50g tin.
