Only discovered your channel a few days ago, and very much enjoy the videos - just subscribed! Balkan Sobranie was a firm favourite for years, as were the traditional Germaines, but I’ve not had any of the Esotericas. Haven’t been able to get any of these for years, so thank you for the advice. I join my compatriot, Mr. Bats, in sending you warm greetings from Greece! 🇬🇷
Very helpful. I’ve been trying to find some Ramsgate for the last two years. I’m on the alert lists, but it hasn’t been in any drops. Is there a Germaine equivalent in the UK?
Hi Varrj, there’s nothing quite like Ramsgate in the UK, we do have liquorice in a few GH blends but not comparable to Ramsgate. There was one drop last year, I hope one this year but may be a long time off. Cheers, Ross
724 subs by the way........cheers for the info re the elusive ones and the strategy to get on the supply line. BTW - next time you are at the Amex let me know and I will say hello!
Thanks for the terrifically informative video. I took your advice and joined Facebook’s Esoterica Pipe Club. Hopefully, I can one day try Germain’s Dark Flake or Esoterica’s Stonehaven. I’m fairly new to pipe smoking, but since Virginia Burley blends seem to be my favorite things to smoke, I’m worried I’m really going to like those. Fingers crossed, I don’t lol. What’s your Facebook name? Mine is Gene Madulin. I’d like to friend you, if you don’t mind.
There is enough tobacco to last all of us Brits a million years available right here.Just try to get through all Gawith and Hoggarths blends and then see how old you have become.Jim.Liverpool.
Thank you for the video. I am also from the United Kingdom and I am able able to get all of the blends branded J. F. Germain. I cannot, however, get any Balkan Sobranie (which I am very keen to try) or any of Esoterica blends. I thought that Esoterica was only for the American market. How/where do you get these tobaccos, from the perspective of somebody in Britain? Regards, Burn-A-Briar
Hello Ross my friend! Great information on how to get a hold of these tobaccos. I tend to just pick some up a my tobacconist as they come in, nut there is so many other good tobaccos to try, I hardly pay much attention to these. Wonder why you can't upload longer videos, I haven't had any problems doing so? Take care and be well, Corey
I’m just curious.. I stumbled upon a few of your videos and I enjoyed them. I just have to ask do you smoke weed at all? Your view and opinion on it? Would you ever smoke it recreationally, if you haven’t already?
this is what I got from my B+M " Arango does not want to become licensed in Arkansas. We talked to them multiple times but they will not budge. The best chance would be to change Arkansas law..." Shame isn't it? Does anyone know if this is true here in Arkansas.?
Hi I have a mate going to jersey what would you suggest I get , I like St.bruno and am new to pipe smoking . I have some Virginias ,and St.bruno ,I like different strong flavours.👍😬
Mick Hanlon Hello Mick, in Jersey I'd try to get JF Germain tobacco, as many different Ines as possible to try out. I enjoy slot of St Bruno too. Have a look on My Smoking shop, Gawiths Virginia Flake is superb if you enjoy straight virginias.
Unbelievably, Germain's Esoterica 'could' be purchased everywhere but Europe. That's so stupid that would put any business out of work in lees than a week. I joined many US online tobacco shops mailing list, and I've never even get close to open a page and see that at least on 50gr tin was still available. That's it, the rest is a myth of modern globalised business. What's left of it. (If there's an kind heart who would help me to try this tobacco before the inevitable I'd be vet grateful) 8)
Hi Birdseyebriar nice from you. I'd like the usual Penzance even if I never had any tin of esoterica line. That would be great. Let me know if need my email!

Portland Pipe Smoker Hey Corey, thanks my friend. I know you have a great B&M near you. Hope you have a peaceful weekend. Best wishes, Ross

Julian Gonzalez Hi Julian, I don't smoke it I find I'm pretty relaxed without it to be honest. Cheers 💨👍🏼

Better to pay B&M prices than Ebay prices.....
