Description
GBD was a French pipe brand that became associated with classic British pipes. The brand was founded in 1850 by Ganneval, Bondier, and Donninger. An English company bought the brand in the early 20th century. "Old England Mixture" is a suitable pipe tobacco for all connoisseurs of English blends; Syrian Latakia and Perique are blended by hand with golden yellow Virginias, yielding a blend that is fully aromatic and unique. 50g tin.
Note: this tin is not plain packaged; it predates the new regulations for pipe tobacco that came into effect in 2020.
Additional Information: This tin is quite old and bears associated signs of aging, including but not limited to rust marks, dents and scratches on the tin. We believe the seals to be intact but can not guarantee the condition of the contents. The price reflects the risk inherent with buying a tin of pipe tobacco bearing signs of wear and tear.
About Private Stock Pipe Tobacco
From time to time, Victory Pipes is offered the chance to sell unique pipe tobacco tins. Some of the pipe tobaccos on offer are no longer in production, making them highly sought-after. Inventory is extremely limited and many tins we obtain are singles. If there is a blend you’ve been seeking we recommend you act quickly as it is doubtful we will see the blend in inventory again.
Victory Pipes cannot guarantee the condition of the contents of any of these older tins. Seals on pipe tobacco tins may wear out over time or come undone, causing the contents to dry out. Adding moisture to the tobacco will re-hydrate the contents; this can be achieved using a humidifier with distilled water, or even a dampened paper towel placed over a bowl of the tobacco. There are no refunds for consigned tins.
