Germain & Son commenced manufacturing tobacco back in 1820. A family business located in Jersey boasting perfect climatic controlled conditions.
The experience gained by succeeding generations in the art of blending has produced the range of fine individual tobaccos available today. Their new factory is situated on the site of the original premises facing the harbour of St Helier from whence, 180 years ago, Jersey-built schooners sailed to many parts of the world, some returning with cargoes of leaf tobacco for Germain's factory.
The name of this tobacco originates from the early days when all tobaccos were pressed into cakes before cutting. Four types of Virginian tobaccos are blended with Cavendish and a specially prepared Black Tobacco.
The complete blend is then flavoured in accordance with a 70 year old formula to produce a honey sweet smoking tobacco with a unique aroma.
"We have been reliably informed that the highly sort after Esoterica Peacehaven is made using the same blend as the Goldleaf. Due to the usual red tape and legislation we cannot get Peacehaven in the UK. Therefore the Goldleaf is the closest Tobacco you will get to match Peacehaven in the UK."

A superb tobacco blend produced by the artisan blenders, the Goldleaf is made using a blend of the highest possible grade of Golden and Brown Flue cured Virginia leaves full of fresh Virginia flavour.
The leaves have been mildly pressed to give it a broken flake feel and help keep the burn down rate so the full natural raw flavours of the Virginia can be appreciated and enjoyed.
