Esoterica: And So To Bed 8oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-024-0009

This mixture is absolutely ideal for the evening, ergo. We borrowed the name from the diaries of Samuel Pepys, Esquire. Finest grade Virginia and Maryland type tobaccos are carefully aged and blended with Greek "Oriental" leaf and top grade Cyprian Latakia. The blend is then specially processed and additionally matured to produce a mellow, full-strength smoke with rich flavor and unique aroma.

Wonderful way to end the day.

Got lucky and found a tin of this at a local shop in Seattle, it is excellent. Was a big fan of English blends back in the day, lately I've tended more towards VA/Burley blends, but this reawakened my love of good English tobacco. It is smokey, but surprisingly light, and has a sweetness that matches most aromatics out there. If you get lucky enough to snag a tin of this, you won't be disappointed....Read More

nice change of pace

Tin note of sweet spices, sour dark fruit and smoke. Tobacco is a shag cut of brown, dark brown and black with a little tan mixed in. Moisture content is ok. Some pipe smokers will want to dry this a bit. Burns moderately fast with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No topping detected. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of sweet smoky, spices, peaty fermented hay, wood, floral, earthy, tangy dark fruit, sugar, savory, toast, tart musty bitterness, mildly spicy, mild cocoa, an herbal sweet grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Latakia, Maryland and Oriental/Turkish supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

The long wait is over

Because of the expectation, it's nothing special. Tin note: English. You may be tempted to smoke it right out of the tin. Don’t! If you do it will smoke hot right from the first light and taste like Presbyterian Reformation with a little Latakia added. Let your pinches dry out for at least 30 minutes so that some of their “special process” dissipates. Smoke delicately at an adagio cadence with pauses in between puffs. You should have to relight several times. The taste will then be more savory-sweet. Not worth the very long wait on a one-time email alert list....Read More

Amazing sweetness without any topping
August 05, 2020

Product: Esoterica And So To Bed 2oz
Really high quality stuff with an amazing natural sweetness and richness without any topping to get there. Glad I was able to get a tin along with a few other esoterica blends. Still, if it was more easily available it's distinctive sweetness would probably not become an every day smoke for me.It's definitely crave worthy like a dessert, but it's just not the meat and potatoes for me....Read More

And So to Bed

A great blend, but honestly it’s probably not worth the trouble of hunting it down, when there are so many amazing blends out there that are readily available. The topping is apricot, mostly, and is not quite as obvious as the topping in Pembroke in my opinion.

More of an Aromatic
August 07, 2020
By: Aaron N.
Product: Esoterica And So To Bed 8oz
This is more of an aromatic I my opinion or a crossover. I wouldn’t call it an English blend. I don’t taste a natural sweetness. It’s more of a topping like aromatics have. I get the same weird artificial waxy plastic taste from aromatics. It’s not a bad smoke, but not worth the hype. Into my first bowl I don’t feel any bite and it seems to smoke cool which is good. I purchased this from a local as it’s sold out everywhere online. I was not impressed....Read More

New Favorite II

Product: Esoterica And So To Bed 2oz
I have to agree with Phantom Wolfe's assessment of this blend. It pretty much mirrors my first experience as well. Pure delight to the very bottom of the bowl. This will be an all day smoke I am sure.

A New Favourite
December 09, 2018
By: PhantomWolf
Product: Esoterica And So To Bed 2oz
Sweet, smokey, chocolatey with some sour cinnamon and woodiness. It reminds me of an English holiday fruit pudding in smoke form. A true symphony of a blend. From the first bowl, I was sold. I am usually a bit of a cynic but I have yet to smoke a blend by Germaine's that isn't special and worthy of the hype. The only exception here is how freaking exceptional this smoke is. If you disagree, feel free to sell me yours. haha

Impossible to get tongue bite. Can be an all-day. It has been for me....Read More
