About This Pipe Tobacco
Seattle Pipe Club's best-selling Balkan blend, Plum Pudding is a beautiful English mixture combining Latakia, Turkish Orientals, Virginias, Perique, and Black Cavendish into an old-fashioned crumble cake. Available here in a 2oz. tin.
From the tin: An English Balkan blend like no other. Rare tobaccos, crafted and pressed carefully together. Many call it the perfect tobacco. "Nirvana," said one reviewer. Master Blender Joe Lankford created this treasure for the Seattle Pipe Club many years ago. Delicious, smoky, spicy and positively addictive. Truly an exquisite mixture. Enjoy this original cake of six rare ingredients — Latakia, Turkish Orientals, Virginias, Cavendish, and Perique.

Plum Pudding: More Attention to What It's Becoming
June 06, 2026
By:
Aaron C.
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding 2oz
As the bowl settled in, the texture evolved. The smoke became less creamy and more velvety, carrying a fuller sweetness that reminded me of molasses and dark bread. A gentle spice emerged on the retrohale—not peppery in the Perique sense, but something drier and more fragrant. Cedar, incense, and warm spice came to mind, though none stood apart long enough to be easily named.
Around the middle of the bowl, the blend began to change in a way I hadn't anticipated. The Latakia never disappeared, but it ceased being the main attraction. It became structural—more like the mug holding the coffee than the coffee itself. The individual flavors became harder to isolate—not because they disappeared, but because they had begun working together.
The closest comparison I can offer is not a flavor but an experience: a rich chai latte. Not because Plum Pudding tastes like chai, but because the sweetness, spice, texture, and warmth became inseparable. Smoke, molasses, cedar, leather, and spice no longer arrived as separate impressions. By that point they seemed to occupy the same space.
What surprised me most was the ending.
I spent the final portion of the bowl waiting for a grand finale that never came. There was no dramatic surge of flavor, no nicotine crescendo, no final declaration. The pipe remained comfortable in the hand, the draw became lighter, the flavors gradually faded, and then the bowl was simply over.
At first I found that disappointing. Then I realized the disappointment belonged not to the tobacco, but to my expectations.
I had assumed the bowl was building toward something larger. Instead, what mattered was how it changed along the way. The feeling reminded me of leaving a Tenebrae service. Nothing dramatic remained to be seen or heard, yet the experience seemed larger in the silence that followed. The service was over, the sanctuary dim, and the congregation dispersing quietly. The meaning of it seemed to arrive afterward.
Looking back, the ending was never the point. I spent the final portion of the bowl waiting for a crescendo that never arrived, only to realize afterward that Plum Pudding had been doing something else all along. Rather than building toward a dramatic finish, it spent its time drawing its various flavors into a coherent whole and then quietly stepping aside.
The next time I smoke it, I suspect I'll pay less attention to where the bowl is going and more attention to what it's becoming...Read More

English for those who don't like English

Great blend. Burns amazing and is easy to handle.
It is a softer English without the depth of others I am fond of. Not a bad thing though.
Smoke is sweet and doughy.
Could definitely smoke this all day.
