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 i... Read More
n 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 Less

今天凌晨SP上e家和寿百年，听说SP还设置了购买门槛。如果是真的话，我只能说SP这个老六真是太狗了。

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

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; a... 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.
Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
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.... Read More
Smoky wins out by the end of the bowl. Read Less

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 a... Read More

Clean English Blend
March 08, 2019
Product: Esoterica Margate 8oz
Margate is a clean English blend. If you miss the quality tobacco blends from before the large U.K. production got shut down or moved to Denmark then this is about as close as you are going to get.
great English Blend

i can say that this is one of my favorite blends from Esoterica. Just perfect.
Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
Boring compared to many other Englishes. Completely overrated. And for being a shag cut it is very difficult to keep lit
A Nice Traditional

Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
A few years ago I acquired a large amount of Penzance along with a good number of miscellaneous tins - seveveral were of 1913 Margate. I have to admit, when I first decanted a tin into a mason jar, I wasn't impressed. And so the jar sat in my cella... Read More
r untouched until now. On this retry I discovered that the tobacco fairy had converted what was a fairly washed out shag into a near perfect light english.
Smooth and slightly sweet, burns cool - an all day smoke if there ever was one. It's sad that this blend and its brothers have all but disappeared from the market. But if you do get a chance do try it out. Read Less
So good so what?

Rich, smooth almost like velvet, deep and wonderfull...

Not the best old school English out there, but is made up of quality tobaccos.
On Point English

Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
This blend was really on point. Have not had a better blend english wise so far! Aroma was sweet with a little spice. Taste was great and got better towards the bottom. I would recommend some air time or it has a issue with staying lit. Great blend... Read More

A fantastic vintage like English.

Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
A fantastic, traditional, old style English blend, indeed. Evokes good old memories. Very balanced and skilfully selected Orientals, kind of warm, creamy, full body aroma, no beak pecking spiciness. Scrumptious Latakia. Rich palette of flavours. Natu... Read More
ral tobacco sweetness accompanies you throughout the smoke. A gorgeous blend for all lovers of the old style English mixtures that have gradually disappeared from the market. Thanks to Esoterica, MARGATE fills the gap. It’s on my favourites list now. Read Less

one of the better english blends I have tried. Burns well and does not bite. If english blends are your thing - this might be your new favorite. . . . if it ever comes back in stock

I literally saw this email notification pop up. It was sold pout in 5 seconds. I am starting to think the smoking pipe employees are buying these esoterica blends up.

The cut, the moisture level, the note, and most importantly the taste... what I imagined an English blend tasting like before I'd ever tasted an English blend. I've tasted quite a few but always come home to Margate. It's burn is flawless, leaving a ... Read More
nice gray ash. It's just sweet enough. Needs to dry a bit, but I prefer it as such. In my eyes it's the perfect English benchmark. Read Less
Not as good as I had expected

Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
I love english and lat heavy tobaccos, this one really doesn't do it for me. Picked up 2 tins while it was in stock, I've smoked the first one and really tried to like it, unfortunately it just falls flat for me. Perhaps I had expected more due to th... Read More
e good reviews everywhere, leads me to believe its just overhyped due to short supply. I've tried it in a whole lot of different pipes, packed tight and loose as well as somewhere in between. No matter how I've tried it, it seems to be a bland boring smoke although it does smoke cool and dry. Not unsmoke-able but hoping this one gets better with some age. Read Less

If you like latakia then this is a tobacco for you, there is some sweetness to this tobacco. Not that interested in the shag cut, but that is not to take away from this tobacco, just a good smoke.
Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
Superb! Possibly the best English blend from possibly the finest blender J.F. Germain. A Rich, exotic, smooth and cool smoke. Cellar a tin - its even better with age.
Perfect blend
July 12, 2013
Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz
This is a delicious blend, with great latakia and fabulous orientals. However, considering the proportions and the role they play, and despite what many people say, I call it a Balkan mixture. Anyway, it's great and worthy of the fame.
