Esoterica: Margate 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-024-0003

Esoterica's Margate is a classical English mixture done in the "old style" of many of the fine tobaccos that have now disappeared from the market place. Choice Orientals and generous quantities of premium Cyprian Latakia keynote this rich, full-bodied blend. A well balanced, robust, and eminently satisfying smoke.

Good stuff

A rich, complex, all-day English. This stuff reminds me of Presbyterian Mixture crossed with Early Morning Pipe. I recommend it. I only wish it was more available. If you'd like to know more, check out my youtube video. My name is the predestinedpiper on all socials.

I think I'm an English Guy

I steered away from Englishes for a long time because tasting "leather" didn't sound appealing. I understand that description but it is very misleading. I have loved Englishes since the first time I tried one. This one wasn't my first but is one of my favorites! Just a great smoky savoriness with sour/sweet in the background that comes to the foreground here and there, with a floral spice from the oritentals. Esoterica's own description is correct! "Imminently satisfying"...Read More

Package note of smoky, sour dark fruit and barnyard hay. Tobacco is a Shag cut of black, dark brown and tan. Moisture content is great. No drying/prep needed. Burns fast with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of smoky, sweet musty hay, spices, toast, herbal incense, floral, dry wood, sugar, tart and tangy citrus, savory, fermented sour fruit, moderately spicy, a zesty orange peel and sweet grass background note, and a peppery retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading most of the time (but not by much) with Latakia and Virginia supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Best English blend I have smoked. I wish I preferred something easier to get, but alas! I have an easy time mechanically, too. Only 1-2 relights, maybe 3 in a very deep bowl.

Got this a while back. My first English so nothing to compare it to. Like it a lot and could end up in rotation once I have some comparisons. Lots of different components all playing a role. Depending on the puff, can be sweet, tangy, spicy or smoky. Smoky wins out by the end of the bowl.

Of the three Esoterica blends I've tried so far, this one is just so....bland. The best way i can put it, is like smoking a piece of wood. It left an awful aftertaste that i could not get rid of. I personally think Artisans Blend is better, cheaper and more easier to come by than this.

The absolute best

My favorite tobacco's are all from the English family, and this rises above the rest. It might not necessarily be the most traditional English, especially if you just consider the different tin-notes. This one doesn't smell and taste like a brisket in a jar, but a little more mild and sweeter. This smokes very cool, and very smoothly. It can sometimes be a bit moist when first opened, but once it's dried a little, it smokes like a dream. I love the complex, tangy, smoky sweetness, that actually seem a bit salty, which sounds odd, but round out all the harsh edges of some Englishes very, very well. It's hard to get, but it is very, very well worth it....Read More

One of the easier Esoterica blends to get. An enjoyable oriental blend that is worth the hunt.

Va/Lat with a Healthy Helping of Orientals
January 25, 2020
By: Eddie C.
Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
I'm a freak for Turkish/Oriental leaves so this is by far my favorite Esoterica. Va/Lats are dime a dozen but the introduction of Turkish leaves really takes this to the next level. Think cirtusy sweet virginias with that musky, woodsy latakia; and a touch of that incensesy taste of Orientals....Read More
