About This Pipe Tobacco

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.

A burley lovers English blend to savor
May 06, 2026
By: Bradley G.
Product: Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court 100g
This is a most comforting smoke! Inns of Court really opened my eyes to what burley can do when incorporated into an English blend. Upon initial lighting, the nutty burleys take the lead, with the orientals and virginias giving support with sweet and sour notes and Latakia giving a pleasant smoky backdrop. As the bowl progresses, the orientals start to ramp up more, slightly more than the sweet nuttiness of the burleys. The Latakia is still in the background supporting with delicious smokiness. All around this blend is simply wonderful. I will be discovering more from Mr Pease’s Drucquer & Son’s!...Read More

This is my home base tobacco, the core of my rotation. I smoke more of this than any other tobacco and always keep some around. It is not the strongest or the most complex I smoke regularly but its the one I always come back to after a hard day or when I just want comfort. It delivers loads of nutty richness from the burley, has good body, perfect nicotine and the Latakia is in the background and provides a bit of interest instead of dominating the taste. Its right in the sweet spot for me....Read More

Dry English Like Champagne
July 06, 2025

Up to this point in my pipe smoking journey, I've come across 2 basic types of perique notes: raisins/stewed fruits and blue cheese. This blend employs the latter . The tin note is pungent. The flavor is complex and decent. I was expecting the black Cavendish to sweeten up the smoke, but it does not. The flavor is dry like champagne or wine. I don't enjoy the perique note in this one. It isn't bad... I just don't prefer it. I added just a bit of sweet black Cavendish and it seems to have toned down the perique flavor and strength. I'm glad to have tried it. To me this tastes like three friars with Latakia....Read More

Great Tasting Blend
August 17, 2023
By: UncleDave
Product: Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court 100g
If it was good enough for Byrd to carry to the Antarctic I think it's certainly good enough for most everybody else. It provides a smooth and rich all-tobacco flavor. This is a blend that will please lots of folks and offend almost no one. It's all about the great balance in the Burley and Virginia mix--exceedingly well-proportioned with the nuttiness of the Burleys a bit in the lead position. There's just enough Latakia to detect in both the flavor and the smoke aroma to qualify this as an "English", but the Latakia is subdued. The Perique is also held in reserve making only an occasional appearance in the flavor. 3-4 out of 10 for strength and a 4-5 out of 10 for flavor. Absolutely no detractors whatsoever and extremely worthwhile! It's not quite a 5 out of 5--4.75 overall. I strongly advise that you give a freshly opened tin some time to breathe. Like a fine wine, air brings out the flavor....Read More

great blend
November 30, 2022

As a Tobacco Enthusiast I enjoy thinking about those classic blends we no longer have. I often find myself watching folks enjoy a pipe in old movies wondering what is in those bowls!?.
So the opportunity to taste a blend with a proven history is a rare treat.
This is also the second 5 star rating 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
