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.
The fullest of Drucquer & Sons' pipe tobaccos, Levant Mixture is a rich, luxurious, and aptly named Balkan blend, comprising generous portions of Latakia and Orientals with Red Virginias for a subtle sweetness. It's a blend of eminent distinction.

Quite literally the best tobacco I’ve ever had. I’m really really hoping this stays in production for awhile. It’s so good that I want to dedicate a giant part of my cellar to this, so I never run out....Read More
It definitely has its place with other peas English blends. More mild than gaslight or quiet nights, but the smoke is still thick as those are with a creamy texture. This is probably closer to Maltese Falcon with maybe a little more body.
Really an excellent blend....Read More
I feel like a lot of English blends fist fight over which tobacco should be driving the bus, meanwhile the Levant cruises alongside the bus in a Bentley, waves, and vrooms off into the sunset. Get this tobacco. It’s an experience....Read More
