Description
This mixture is made from an old Irish recipe dating back to 1880 and is one of the finest tobaccos smoked in the time of Sherlock Holmes. The straight Virginia blend possesses all the natural flavour and aroma associated with Premier Virginia tobaccos. From the tin note: An old 19th century blend of orange and red smoking leaf, Brazilian and Mysore Indian tobacco. 50g Tin.
Note: this tin is not plain packaged; it predates the new regulations for pipe tobacco that came into effect in 2020. This is the original formulation made by Peterson.
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.
