About This Pipe Tobacco

Manufactured in a century-old brick building in picturesque Lauenburg, Germany, Dan pipe tobacco has gained quite a worldwide reputation among smokers, with a wide variety of blends and cuts on offer. Andreas Mund became the successor in charge of production when master blender Jürgen Westphal retired, and is assisted by Heiko Behrens as well as Michael Apitz of Dan Pipe.

Part of the American History series of pipe mixtures, Old Ironsides from Dan Tobacco celebrates the oldest battleship in the U.S. Navy, the USS Constitution or "Old Ironsides." A Latakia lover's dream, it offers a high percentage of Cypriot Latakia, complemented by Dark-Fired Kentucky, Perique, and Virginia varietals. Pressed and aged for twelve weeks, it's then cut into flakes — the perfect homage to America's tobacco tradition.

As Deep as The Oceans and as Bold as The Men that Sailed them

Product: Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides 50g
Like the USS Constitution herself, this is my flagship. Of the tobaccos I've known over the years, this is my favorite. Bold jerky, peppercorn, applewood campfire ash, and plum/raisn. She's an adventure. Much like a ship bucking a sea swell, she starts hard, but once the initial kick is gone, she finishes calm and soothing. Warms the soul on a cold, wet winter day. Enjoy with an Islay single malt or a hot cup of black coffee around a campfire or in the shadow of a bright lighthouse beacon....Read More

This is a smoking good blend that has everything you want in a good english cake. Smokey, sweet, floral, barnyard with a side of Nicotine sweats! Who could ask for more! Get it today, smoke it tomorrow and then wait 6 months for it to come back in stock. This is one of those tobaccos. Don’t just buy one tin you will likely slap yourself later. But don’t buy so many that your wife slaps you either. I know, life is full of hard choices....Read More

I am almost certain this is the best pipe tobacco i have ever had. I am an english lover but this really was the first of the family where the orientals really jumped out at me. The addition of Kentucky works so so well. So much velvety flavor. This is eating Texas BBQ while sitting in a busy street market in Istanbul with a camp fire off in the distance. I need to buy several more tins of this to store in the bunker....Read More

Truly exquisite smoke. I love Latakia, even smoking it by itself. My go to has always been Mississippi Mud. This stuff is now replacing it as my #1.
I have never truly known love.

I have learned to love many different tobaccos. This is not like that. Upon lighting, the smoke is cool, dry, and as smooth as silk. Unlike many other blends where the flavors have to be teased out, here the flavors come as choreographed dancers, each in turn. The orientals dance and speak of the long-forgotten riches and pleasures of the Sultans of old. Rich incense, spice, smoke from the latakias, and perfumes are yours to savor. After the incense and spice, the virginias begin to suggest the faint smell of forbidden sweets. The faint aromas of balkava, honey cakes, and pistacios come forth in turn through the dance, blending together with the incense and spice in a complex and beautiful performance. As the bowl burns down, the sweet moves forward. Tempered by the smoke and spice the virginias transform the orientals into flowers. Honeysuckle, roses, lavendar, and teas swirl together in your nose as your mouth savors warm milk and honey, as the smoke becomes thicker, creamy, and impossibly more smooth. Even the ash is smooth. The beauty of Helen of Troy launched a thousand ships. This tobacco is my Helen. I realize now that what I thought before was love was just appreciation. Now I have to figure out what to do with all my other tobaccos!...Read More
