So who makes that blend you love so much?
Ah, the name on the label may not tell the whole story. Let us take a look at our friends at Villiger Stokkebye International. Villiger brand tins and Peter Stokkebye bulk blends? Oh yes of course, and ...
Orlik
W.O. Larsen
Stanwell
Erinmore
Escudo
Balkan Sasieni
Skandinavik
Sail
Troost
Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself!
But wait, hold the presses. Check out the site for Scandinavian Tobacco Group (the name on your Escudo tin). The same names, and even more brands! I assume this is the parent company to Peter Stokkebye. But who actually MAKES the product? Your guess is as good as mine!
And more breaking news. On their homepage, the news release states:
"14 January 2011 - Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S signs agreement to acquire Lane, Limited, which strengthens its US market position and global leadership."
Pipe Tobacco Cellar Blog
A blog on pipe tobacco, especially the aspects of cellaring and consuming. Why cellar tobacco? For the same reasons we cellar wine, to improve the flavor and increase its value through careful preservation and aging. Most pipe baccy blends taste much better with age, and considering the shortages and taxing problems that pipe smokers are facing today, could well be a sizable investment for the future! Puff on!
