Drucquer & Sons: Inns of Court 100g Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-756-0005
Founded in 1841, Drucquer & Sons was a famed London tobacco shop that relocated to Berkeley, California, in 1928. The shop was more than just a tobacconist though; it was a community. It was where some of the greatest tobacco-blenders in recent memory — like Charl Ehwa of McClelland and Gregory Pease of G.L. Pease — first plunged their hands into flagrant tobacco. The historic shop may be gone, but its rich history and brand of pipe tobaccos continues, reformulated from their original recipes by Gregory Pease (and made by Cornell & Diehl) for the modern smoker.
For many decades, Inns of Court was one of Drucquer's most popular blends, and it was even known to have comforted members of Admiral Richard Byrd's crew during their second Antarctic expedition. This finely balanced mixture of Virginia tobaccos, White and Brown Burleys, and just a bit of Latakia and Perique keeps Inns of Court in high regard among aficionados of English blends, offering a complex, nutty taste and wonderful, nostalgic aroma that is sure to suit many palates.

Great Tasting Blend

ttle in the lead position for my tastes. There's plenty of flavor and I find it to be very pleasing and satisfying at any time and on multiple occasions during the day. In my opinion this hardly qualifies as an "English" blend because the Latakia is far from substantial--not much more than a pinch or two. And the Perique is also equally reserved. Straight-forward tobacco taste and aroma--tastes like tobacco and smells like tobacco. Deserves closer to 3 circles for strength rather than just 2 circles--this is not a mellow blend, but it is quite smooth and flavorful. Absolutely no detractors and extremely worthwhile!...Read More

d very consistent, with notes of fermented vegetation, very woody, molasses, Rasin, cocoa, very earthy, brown sugar, leather, spices, bread, floral, savory, sweet grass, tangy citrus, acidic/spicy, a sweet nutty background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Burley is leading with Virginia, Cavendish and Perique supporting. Latakia is supporting from the cheap seats. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More

great blend

ing I have given a blend with burly. oddly the other blend is a GLPease blend too.
The burly is of the delicate variety with plenty of flavor to the foundation it provides.
As a blend that comforted a tired crewman on a long voyage it has a power level that can be over medium at the end of a large bowl.
But the flavor is well worth the effort and in a smaller bowl it is quite tame with a lively flavor profile.
Recommend to all Enthusiasts and newcomers wanting to taste a delicious blend with a unique history.
Edit: 12/24/22
As my region has been frozen by an Arctic blast I am limited to small bowls of my most potent blends and as this recipe went to the South Pole I was excited to test it out.
I found the blend to work very well in cold temperatures with the burly tamed even more than normal yet still providing a great foundation with a lot of flavor still present.
I used a cob for the subzero temps and an old canadian when above zero degrees. I do caution using mixed material pipes (metal, acrylic, plastic etc. in such conditions.
I find the long shank of the canadian/lumberman,lovat pipe to resist cracking
far better than other types and the smaller vulcanite bit seems to tolerate the cold as well.
Enjoy this blend year round!...Read More

Not a fan of Latakia but it is very light and works well in this blend. It is best to let the tobacco breathe before smoking. Sweet and sour and musty. Pull slowly and let the smoke surround your face.

d. This one doesn't put the Burley out front where it needs to be in a blend like this. This is one of the very few Pease blends I don't care for. It might be a good blend for someone just starting out or trying to transition into unadorned, pure tobacco mixtures. Oh well, I suppose we can't like them all...Read More

15 or 20 minutes, allowing the mixture to reach a level of sustainable combustibility that released the wonderful subtleties of this blend while remaining bite free. Highly recommended if you are new to English mixtures or looking for a good "all-day smoke"....Read More
