Charatan Pipe Tobacco: Charatan is a London brand steeped in Tobacco history dating back to 1863 and is a brand long associated with Dunhill. When the current owners of this brand learnt of the loss of Dunhill Pipe Tobaccos from the worldwide market in 2018 they jumped to the aid of many mourning pipe smokers and produced their own blends as more or less identical replacements. The consensus so far from blind taste testing carried out in pipe clubs is that there is no notable difference. So mourn no more folks.
Charatan Black Flake Pipe Tobacco: The Charatan Black Flake Pipe Tobacco has been produced as a direct replacement for the delisted Dunhill Dark Flake Pipe Tobacco. This Dark flake utilises Virginia and Dark air cured Perique tobaccos to provide a full and balanced smoke. The prominent flavour notes are sweet tobacco and dried fruit.
Flake Pipe Tobacco: The Charatan Black Flake is sold in Flake form. Flake tobacco usually requires rubbing (breaking up) before it can be smoked. The tobacco can be rubbed to the smokers preference depending on whether they prefer a slow or fast burn rate.
