About This Pipe Tobacco

Select Virginias, Burley, and a pinch of Perique comprise this distinctive rope-cut pipe tobacco from Wessex — originally a Peter Heinrichs offering. The tobaccos are all pressed and fermented for six weeks before being cut into smaller sections and packaged, maintaining the rope cut to allow pipe smokers to cut their coins according to their preferences.

Note: While most packages of Wessex Curly Block come in one section of rope, some may vary in their presentation, having been cut by the manufacturer to ensure consistent quantities.

Hype For THIS?

December 01, 2023

Product: Wessex Curly Block 275g

I see this came and went... again. I miss the days when you strolled into your tobacconist and everything under the sun was readily available and in large quantities; Penzance was sold in bulk out of a jar, Solani was stacked deep on the shelves, McClelland of every tin was stocked and available and every Sam Gawith, which we now call 'unobtainium', was easily within reach. Yes, even Mac Baren, and now STG to K&K, was well stocked and available in any quantity you wanted. The novelties like Gold Brick and Curly Block, which were once overlooked, now spark interest with their unorthodoxy, but they still fall short on the taste and mechanics. If you missed out, don't worry, you're not missing much. What bothers most isn't that these mediocre offerings are so elevated in demand, but rather that they are now so scarce due to Governments throughout the world dictating what you may or may not have. What we're seeing in this world today is such a dramatic departure from the liberties we enjoyed just 20 years ago... it's sad, really. Newcomers to pipe smoking live in a very, very different time in which waiting for years to over-pay for mediocre offerings has become normal. I have Curly Block in jars. It's not comparable to say, PS-403, which is so much better and easier to prepare and use. This has an artificial sweetness to it, which I encounter in most German tobaccos. Beyond that, it lacks cavendish to mellow and smooth the flavors. Don't expect the same creamy body you encounter in PS-403, this has quite a few harsh spots and has a 'raw' quality to it, which is why I've had a couple of these cellaring for almost two decades. It's quite potent in nicotine. I can remember cutting smaller and smaller slices and using smaller bowls to use this. It can be difficult to keep lit and the larger leaf pieces make tamping a pain....Read More

Product: Wessex Curly Block 275g

What we’re seeing is, buyers who Don’t even partake in smoking a pipe that are purchasing large amounts of tobaccos so they can sell them later at an exorbitant price. True, pipe smokers be damned. But, can you blame the seller? No. It’s capitalism. Is this tobacco good? Probably, just knowing the tobaccos used....Read More

Cool idea and very good tobacco not in my top five but definitely worth having a few in the cellar if you can afford the ridiculous price tag
