About This Pipe Tobacco
Developed by Joe Lankford, Hogshead is the first pure Virginia blend in Seattle Pipe Club's pipe tobacco lineup, showcasing select Virginias from Africa, Brazil, and the United States. Available here in a 2oz tin.
From the Tin: In Colonial days, Virginia cultivated the nest tobaccos. Traditionally shipped in giant barrels called hogsheads, farmers packed their precious leaf. Our Hogshead is a blend of old Virginias from Africa, Brazil and the United States. Pressed into an easy to use plug, Hogshead evokes the greatest Virginia tobaccos. Enjoy Joe Lankford's exquisite Virginia blend. This just might be your perfect Virginia.
