Erik Stokkebye is the 4th generation tobacconist from a stellar lineage steeped in tobacco tradition.
Erik pays tribute to the Stokkebye heritage with the creation of these blends, 4 of which are named after each of the Stokkebye patriarch's birth year and a 5th representing the year in which the Stokkebye family business began.
Each blend reflects unique personalities and blend preferences beginning with great grandfather Erik Peter, who founded the family business in Denmark, and finishing with Erik's own personal favourite 1957 and his brother Lars' 1966 blend. You will likely find your own personal favourite among this wonderful selection of premium pipe tobacco blended by a true master.
Quoted as a personal favourite of Erik Stokkebye, this medium strength vanilla Black Cavendish, Burley, and Virginia tobacco is notably Danish in character, as opposed to American aromatics which are more heavily flavoured. Complex and considerately blended there is enough to keep your taste buds busy without spoiling them. Simply put, this is not your run of the mill vanilla Aromatic.

Take a pinch of the superbly textured ribbon to appreciate its quality. Notice that there is a lesser amount of Black Cavendish than many of this tobacco’s counterparts. With a higher yield of Burley and Virginia, you get more crisp flavours than dark stewed fruit and the conclusion is more creamy and savory than you might have first expected.
A highly rated, highly recommended fairly easy smoke with great character.
