About This Pipe Tobacco

Now in its fourth generation of producing fine pipe tobaccos, the Stokkebye family tradition began with Erik Peter Stokkebye, born in 1855, and continues to this day with bespoke blends, many paying homage to important dates in their family history.

The 1989 Max Erik blend is a special release from the Danish brand, and has been named in honor of the birth year of Max Erik, Erik Stokkebye's son. This addition is representative of the 5th generation which will eventually lead the company, looking toward the future's possibilities and celebrating the continuation of the family's craft. The blend comprises a combination of ripe Virginia tobaccos from Georgia and the Carolinas which have been pressed into cakes for a week before being sliced into flakes. Delicious and subtly sweet, 1989 is sure to appeal to enthusiasts of pure Virginia blends crafted with care.

Mild Virginia
August 21, 2026
Product: Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Max Erik 1989 1.75oz
This is indeed a mild Virginia blend. Nice citrus, just enough sweetness. I could slow-smoke this all day. My first venture with this, but I’m fixin’ to order a few more tins. It’s mild enough that it smoked well right out of the tin, and that’s something I look for more and more these days. I’m 73 so decades of cellaring ain’t gonna happen. I question buying green bananas at this point in time. It’s certainly worth the price tag. I’ll be using it regularly Update: A couple of months into this I’ve become a great fan. If I feel like stuffing a big bowl with a mild burley, I go straight back to Carter Hall. I’ve found myself doing that with 1989 for the Virginia side. Stuff a big bowl and ride. I just grabbed up 6 more tins....Read More

For me, on my first try of M.E, I could say it was wonderful. I don’t judge brands by their prices; I do when I get exactly what I want, and that’s all that matters.
Aromatics to English to Virginias!
September 12, 2026
Product: Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Max Erik 1989 1.75oz
It’s been a little over a year since I started my pipe journey. I began with aromatics, as I think most people probably do, and eventually moved on to English blends. But I have to say, now that I’ve had a taste of pure Virginias, I’m addicted to them. I’m now hoarding as many of my favorites as possible so I never run out. I plan to cellar quite a few tins for aging and try them after they’ve had several years to develop. I haven’t yet had the chance to try a tobacco that has been aged for several years. The closest I’ve come was about one year, and even after that short amount of time, the taste of certain Virginias was amazing. As for Max Erik 1989, it has quickly become one of my favorites. Smoking it straight out of the tin is already great. The taste and aroma are both excellent, so I’ve now bought six tins, lol! I can’t wait to see what it tastes like after a couple of years in the cellar....Read More
My Birth Year Tobacco and a sleeper tobacco.
June 03, 2026
Product: Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Max Erik 1989 1.75oz
I was attracted to this tobacco because it is my birth year. I was surprised by this tobacco. I tried other straight Virgina blends and they tasted bland to me. It has a nice sweetness. The flakes look nice when you open up the tin. You can not beat this price for a tin. It will be in my regular rotation....Read More
My New Go-To Summer Blend
July 02, 2026
Product: Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Max Erik 1989 1.75oz
Ever since Sutliff 507C disappeared, I searched far and wide for a in-production replacement to smoke this summer in the heat. I can gladly say that search has ended. 1989 fits the bill. Grassy, tangy, mild and sweet. An all day, not overly complicated, straightforward virginia flake. Slightly less tang than 507C and a fraction more strength. Easier on the wallet at this tin price point. Big aging potential too. This is worth a try, even to throw a tin in the cellar to pop a decade from now....Read More
