About This Pipe Tobacco

An exceptionally smooth blend of Virginias and Burley, and the personal favorite blend of the late Danish pipe maker Peter Heeschen, Briar Fox is pressed into an old fashioned crumble cake, making it easy to prepare for whatever consistency you prefer. Its flavor profile starts with a clean tobacco taste, heightens complexity at mid-bowl and finishes with a spicy character that will make you come back again and again.

Real tobacco flavor

If your present favorite is Captain Black or similar you probably won't like the fox. If you like Pegasus or Old Joe blue I bet you'd appreciate this tobacco. If you do give it a try and it's not your thing jar up the whole cake and try it next year. I believe our taste in tobacco is a dynamic experience. I know my preference changed over time. Happy smoking!...Read More

I don't get the hype. I don't even understand the love or hate theory, yeah it's good, but that's it. Would I be upset if this was my desert island? Probably not. Would I buy it again? Maybe.

I can’t get enough of this stuff. Honestly, after faffing around for ages, I’m glad I finally just went for it. It comes as a vacuum‑sealed 16-oz pressed cake, and it’s got a proper spicy kick to it, so I was convinced there had to be some Oriental leaf in there. Checked the description again… nope. Just burley and red Virginias. Which explains why it hits like a truck. If you’re used to stronger blends, you’ll be fine, but it definitely deserves a bit of respect. And don’t bother crumbling it down to dust before packing. I’ve tried both ways, and it smokes miles better when you just chuck it in a bit chunky. Defo grabbing another sealed bag when this one’s gone....Read More

Nuff said
Fox is one of those blends that has always been highly controversial — truly a “love it or hate it” tobacco.

Some smokers find it excellent, while others think it’s extremely difficult to enjoy.

When it was fresh, I smoked around seven or eight bowls and honestly couldn’t quite figure it out. The blend contains a noticeable amount of Burley, which many people describe as having a slightly “funky” or
animal-like note. That initial aroma was something I personally didn’t enjoy at all.

Now, after nearly ten months of aging, the tobacco has clearly changed. It no longer smells or tastes like it did when it was new. In the early to mid bowl, I start to pick up a gentle sweetness, accompanied by subtle nutty notes. The smoke has also become much smoother and more rounded.

My impression is that this blend simply needs time to settle and mature, and it likely benefits from further aging. There’s a reason many people say that young Fox and aged Fox are essentially two different tobaccos.
