Germain’s British Pipe Tobacco’s: One of the last remaining true British Pipe Tobacco blenders. Renowned for their very “British” style with unique recipes dating back nearly a century! Germains Tobacco is notoriously difficult to obtain and such demand is always high from this characterful factory in Jersey.
Germains Brown Flake Pipe Tobacco: The Germain’s Brown Flake is a straight Tobacco with no added flavour or casing but has a natural sweetness, which comes from the expert blending capabilities of the Germain experts. It has been blended using Kentucky and bright Virginian leaf, which is initially air cured to draw out the simpler, nuttier flavour, then pressed to ferment in its own vital juices for a naturally sweet and very characterful smoke. A must try for any lover of Flakes!
Flake Pipe Tobacco: The Germain’s Brown Flake Pipe tobacco is sold in flake form. Flake tobacco 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.
Delicate Flakes: Please note that Germains Flakes are more delicate/finer flakes than from other manufacturers. This makes them very easy to crumble and rub out but also means that they often don't resemble flakes after movement in transit. So please expect something that resembles a broken flake than the neat flakes you get from other manufacturers.
