Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - 1957 1.76oz
Light and enjoyable, great break-in tobacco for newer pipes
Certainly agree with other reviewers on the note of vanilla, slight note of blackberry and a certain moistness/oilyness to the finish. That said, once lit, the tobacco burns nicely as a sipper, and for this Virginia / VaPer smoker, I find the mixture to to be gentle enough and thus very suitable for breaking in new pipes. Having smoked pipes off and on since the early 90s, several years ago, I returned to purchasing Peterson pipes and smoking Virginia and Virginia mixtures like Capstan Gold Navy and Orlik Golden Slices. These burned hot and I managed to damage a pipe or two. Restocking my collection, I have been gradually breaking in several pipes and found this particular mixture to be extremely well suited to the task. Just bought another tin! Am very much enjoying exploring the entire Stokkebye tobacco collection.
