Esoterica Tinned Pipe Tobaccos

The tobacco world's own white whale, Esoterica tobaccos are manufactured by G.F. Germain. Originally a private label for Smokers' Haven, when the new owners parted ways with Germain, the blends lay dormant. In the early 90's, distribution changed hands, and a fan of the blends created Esoterica Tobacciana in order to distribute them under a new name. Eventually, feeling that he could not distribute the blends widely enough to do them justice, he sold the brand to Mike Butera, who has since passed the brand on again.
