Germains Brown Flake Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin

Germain’s Brown Flake intrigues enthusiasts with its flavour profile, prompting speculation about the inclusion of Kentucky-style leaf in its recipe. While some uncertainties persist regarding its medium fullness and the colouring of the flake, tasting the tobacco reveals predominantly dark Virginia presence.

The flavour profile is characterised by peaty, earthy, and grassy notes, with a hint of spice and subtle cigar tones. These flavours evolve gradually throughout the bowl, deepening towards the end of the smoking experience. Brown Flake exhibits excellent smoking behaviour, requiring few relights, making it suitable for enjoyment at any time of the day.

Germain & Son commenced manufacturing tobacco back in 1820. A family business located in Jersey boasting perfect climatic controlled conditions. The experience gained by succeeding generations in the art of blending has produced the range of fine individual tobaccos available today. Their new factory is situated on the site of the original premises facing the harbour of St Helier from whence, 180 years ago, Jersey-built schooners sailed to many parts of the world, some returning with cargoes of leaf tobacco for Germain’s factory.
