Description Ref # 409T

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.

Tasting Notes

Germains are renowned for their straight undressed pipe Tobacco’s but they do have a few aromatics under their belts and the Plum Cake is a true classic!


This is a traditional pipe mixture of which 80% is prepared from six different types of Virginia leaf. The remaining 20% is a specially prepared black tobacco (nor Cavendish or Negrohead) made from air-cured leaf.

This is possibly the only British made tobacco containing this particular ingredient. The flavouring comes from natural Plum and Blackcurrant extracts and provides a unique added flavour gives an agreeable taste and pleasant aroma.
