Where have all the flowers gone?

This is one of the best blends ever smoked. Top quality leaf with an excellent spice.

Holy nicotine Batman!

November 25, 2018

Product: Esoterica Ramsgate 8oz

First let me start by saying I am not an aromatic guy, but there are a few gems out there and I believe this is one of them. I was hesitant when I read licorice, but I must say it compliments this blend well. Upon initial light I was hit with a sweet tang. That gave way to a robust and smooth Virginia. I can't say I really Tate the licorice in this but that may be because the nic hit threw me for a loop. I won't be scrambling for this tobacco again but if it comes my way I will be anxious to get back into it....Read More

Nice Aromatic

March 31, 2018

Product: Esoterica Ramsgate 8oz

I'm not really an aromatic guy, but I really enjoy this. I love the taste and the room note. I can't place the flavor I'm getting, but I'm not sure it's licorice. Maybe it's because I've never been a fan of licorice and didn't know it could be so good.?

Pure virginia with a little lakeland character

November 21, 2016

Product: Esoterica Ramsgate 8oz

Think of Ramsgate as an aproximation to the blending ways and style of Samuel Gawith and Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.
If you are expecting an experience of licorice -in your face- this wouldnt be. This is pure straight virginia with delicate and sublimated undertones of licorice, rich soursweet grassy flavour and mid strength virginia body with a very subtle addition of the character of an aromatic.

It comes in beautiful stoven broken flake, a bit oily and demanding rubbing exercises, the smell is pungent and piquant while on pack. A bit of ferment and mildly vinnegar note circumvented by a little licorice note.
In its first ignition presents a dense white smoke that comes to the palate as a very mild virginia, the licorice is very distant yet distinguishable, astringent smoke with a dry mild sweetness properly associated with pure virginias.

As it advances its character defines more the body of a robust and fermented virginia, aproximately to the league of "Lakelands" yet, never as floral, a lot less subtle in aroma but with all the strong body of a typical aged and stoved flake, mid strength in the nicotine department and electric blue smoke. The virginias will denote its more characteristic grassy and soursweet qualities by the mid of the bowl and decreasing onwards when it will become more a mild virginia with a vague licorice aroma.

This is a very potent and exciting blend, it gets better by aging, softening its smokey and robust temper. Apt for a day of intellectuañ endeavours or a large lunting....Read More

Blackpool with umph

April 29, 2013

Product: Esoterica Ramsgate 8oz

I really like the extra flavoring in this. It has more than Blackpool, and this does require slow smoking, or you'll get bit. But the taste is very unique to me, and I enjoy a break from time to time from my burleys and virginias. Licorice? Every now and again. I'd say marzipam moreso. Don't try to light it without several days of drying....Read More
