No Bells & Whistles...
February 26, 2018
Product: Esoterica Tilbury 8oz
A fiend of mine told me that this tobacco has no bells and whistles but it's an outstanding VaBur... I concur. This is another blend from Germain that I would consider a daily smoke if it were not for all you people buying it all up before I can get ... Read More
to it. Lol. This is a smooth, slightly sweet smoke and I see people using the word "buttery" to describe it in several different reviews and for good reason, it is somewhat buttery in flavor and texture. Again, Germain has a way of curing their Virginia's like no one else on the face of the earth. What is it that they do to their VA's that other people can't figure out? Well... that's half the fun, the not knowing, that is where the magic lies. This and Dunbar are my absolute favorite blends from the Esoterica line of tobaccos, you all can have your Penzance and Stonehaven. Give me Tilbury or give me death! Okay that is a little extreme but you get the point. Oh, and I agree with DK on the roomnote, it's absolutely stunning! The best of the best!

Subtile. Complex. Challenging. Rewarding.

This and Germain Brown Flake are my two favorite Va's. This tobacco taught me to tease a Va blend. For me this blend will taste like hot air if ignore or it will taste like a well spiced holiday pie if I pay attention to it and I do.

I only have dreams about this blend before. A friend gave me some and took me to an almost out worldly wonderful experience.

I normally am not a fan of burley, but the deepness of the VAs in this blend balance it really nicely
Virginia Burley blend

Product: Esoterica Tilbury 8oz
I just opened an 8 oz packet of this which I purchased over 12 years ago. (2010)
It is very mild and cool smoking with 12 -13 years age. Similar in flavor to other Germain blends like Bridge mixture/Brown Flake.
I don't care for the very fine cut, ... Read More
but it causes no problems
There are other blends available which are just as good, such Rattrays virginia blends.
It's nice. Read Less

As my palate continues to develop over the 2yrs of pipe smoking, im growing more fond of the virginia leaf. Reading the description of this mythical blend sounded like heaven in a tin for me. But as i went through my burning bowl of tillbury, i quick... Read More
ly became disappointed. What is touted as some of the finest tobacco ever produced, I couldn't help but disagree more. The taste was middle of the road at best. It left a nasty aftertaste that lingered for an eternity. The smell...my goodness, I couldn't get it off of my hands, clothes, whatever it touched just saturated through everything. Im glad it ended up being something i didn't enjoy, because it is so hard to find. Read Less
Not so ordinary

This is not a run-of-the-mill burley/VA. It's mild to my palate, with a sweet and slightly nutty flavor that begs to be enjoyed slowly. My only complaint is that it;s seldom available.

I have smoked a few virginas in my time and I find myslef reaching for it quite a bit. I put it back for another blend frequently as I dont want to run out as I only have the one tin and it doesnt come around much. Hope I can afford a few more tins ... Read More
