Description

You could say that the story of the remarkable Peter Stokkebye Cigarette Tobaccos began in 1931, when Peter was born in Odense, Denmark. But in reality, the story begins two generations earlier, when Peter’s grandfather, Erik Peter Stokkebye, opened the family’s first tobacconist shop in 1882.

Peter spent decades perfecting the tobacconist’s art. In the 1950s, he worked for the Universal Leaf Company, where he learned about leaf from the ground up while touring the tobacco fields of Kentucky, the Carolinas and Tennessee. In the 1960s, he gained an education in the manufacturing process while serving as the production manager at the L’Orange cigarette factory in Geneva, Switzerland.

Having perfected his craft, Peter started his own tobacco factory in the 1970s. It was then that he began his quest to reinvent cigarette tobacco in the United States. He recognized that there was a new type of consumer emerging who didn’t want to simply chain smoke through a pack of cigarettes. These new consumers were connoisseurs who wanted to savour their smoking moments and desired nothing less than the finest tobaccos in the world. As a third generation tobacconist with decades of experience, Peter was uniquely suited to meet this desire.

The result: Peter Stokkebye Cigarette Tobaccos in six distinct blends designed for discerning palates. From the bold smokiness of Amsterdam Shag to the delicate and aromatic Turkish Export, each blend is distinct with no equal.

Peter passed away in 2003 at the age of 72, but the family’s rich legacy in the tobacco trade continues with his son, Erik Stokkebye

When you read in the description of a tobacco "perfect for blending with flavoured tobaccos" you know it's not going to have much of its own. I occasionally substitute this for my favourite straight Virginia, Royal Yacht, just for a change. It is an ok tobacco, mild, cool smoking and definitely benefits from a few drops of Bourbon to tweak what little flavour it has. Since it is sold loose and because the quality does seem to vary somewhat it is fair to say that when fresh it merits four stars. Alas, this month's delivery was a bit dry and at best deserves no more than three.
