Pipe Tobacco

“Our” Kentucky Club Mild is a basic Burley with traditional tobacco flavor and character. If this easy-burning, mild, and bite-free smoke reminds you of the original Middleton blend, then our work here is done. Blended with just the right portion of golden Virginias Pipe Tobacco in Cans and Burleys, the basic blend of toasted Cavendish tobaccos is a mixture that gets better as you smoke it all day long. Midnight leaves an alluring vanilla aroma wherever it is smoked. The ribbon cut produces a mild and flavorful smoke – even for the beginner.

Offering a cool smoke without bite, Triple Crown provides new pipe smokers with a pleasant introduction to English blends while still pleasing the experienced pipe smoker. We have carried Middleton Prince Albert Pipe Tobacco in Bags for over one hundred years and produced “Our” Prince Albert for our customers when the iconic OTC blend became difficult to acquire. “Our” Prince Albert is a mellow, clean-burning mixture of Burley and Cavendish with subtle notes of nuttiness and natural sweetness. Sit back, light your pipe, and wrap yourself in nostalgia as the familiar aroma wafts around you. “Our” Prince Albert is made possible with special thanks to our Middleton customers who smoked samples and provided invaluable feedback along the way.

In the U.S., burley tobacco plants are started from pelletized seeds placed in polystyrene trays floated on a bed of fertilized water in March or April. Transplanting begins in May and progresses through June with a small percentage set in July. Producers must contend with major diseases such as black shank and blue mold and insects like aphids, hornworms and budworms. Plants are topped by removing the developing flower head at approximately 60 days from transplanting and treated to prevent the growth of side shoots called suckers. Topping allows energy that would have produced a bloom to promote leaf expansion.

Cherries galore describes this highly aromatic blend. A quality mixture of toasted Black Cavendish, smooth Burleys, sweet Bright Virginias topped with a generous helping of cherry extract creates this mild, very pleasing pipe tobacco. Cherry Velvet packs easily, lights effortlessly, and burns clean for a wonderful smoking experience. Disagreement exists about distinctions between an English blend and a Balkan.
