Tin note of sweet raisins, apricot/stone fruit and spices. Tobacco is a ready rub of a reddish brown, light brown and a little dark brown. Moisture content is great. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. Stone fruit flavoring detected, though it doesn't seem to be a topping, maybe a casing? Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of dark sour plum, spiced fig, savory, sugar, wood, tart raisin, very earthy, bready, floral, lemon grass, fermented vegetation, slightly bitter orange peel/zest, a rich semi-sweet and tangy stone fruit like background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Perique and Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Is it really worth it??

YES!! I was skeptical about it seeing how due to its scarcity it’s hyped up, but wow! It truly didn’t disappoint. Now granted, I stashed a tin away and forgot about it for 6 years, but with some age, those Virginia tobaccos sing, sweet in the best possible way, the perique adds depth and flavor. Truly a remarkable smoking experience....Read More

A+ Va/Per
January 25, 2020

How can Va/Per blends be so different? Unlike your usual "raisin bready" Va/Per, this is refreshingly light and bright. Very grassy, very citrusy; and just a hint of spices. Absolutely delectable.

Three Years of Waiting

Product: Esoterica Dunbar 2oz
I finally got some. Esoterica’s formula seems to be keeping their output extremely small and by doing so it keeps the hype and rarity of their tobacco always on the minds of smokers. Esoterica blends go for hundreds on auction sites which seems crazy to me. The high demand and low production reminds me of certain brands of quality bourbon and the extreme lengths people go to acquire them. I finally acquired a tin of this after about three years of waiting. Got an email alert and immediately logged in and picked up this and another Esoterica blend. I’d say that they were all completely gone within 30 minutes, as some friends I alerted were out of luck when they tried to get some. I don’t stash 25 tins in my cellar to smoke when I’m 75. I open the tin and smoke it every so often. Tin notes of raisins and figs. About as smooth a smoke as can be. Virgina’s are very enjoyable for just about everyone and this has seven different kinds of Virginia’s in it, along with Perique. Remarkable flavor. There is a wonderful floral top note I’ve yet to taste in any other Virginia blend. The floral lemon note to this blend is unlike anything I have yet to smoke. The Perique must be used sparingly because hardly any smokiness associated with the Perique was noticeable to me. Upon opening the tin you can see the 7 different types of leaves blended to make the cakes which are ultimately rubbed into rough cut ribbons. It ships quite moist. Due to the majority of the blend being Virgina’s it burns hot. Frequent tamping is necessary in order to keep the heat under control. Is it very good? Yes. Are there other tobacco’s that are readily available year round that come close? Yes....Read More
