Milan Pipe Tobacco Blends (English)

Centenary is a wonderful traditional English blend reminiscent of pipe tobacco blending recipes used when our store first opened. This blend has a rich taste of hickory with subtleties of nut and wood, and a nice proportion of spice on the finish. Fifteen different tobaccos were used to create this complex blend, including a healthy dose of Latakia, but we think you'll agree the result is well worth it.

Categorized by our master blender as an "English," Chartwell is enjoyed by many of our customers as a crossover because it is a light-bodied English blend that offers a balanced taste of sliced Burley, Latakia, Turkish and a hint of plum on the finish. A smooth and mild pipe tobacco with a moderately pleasant room note.

Joe Milan is the 'Joe' behind Joe's Blend. The eldest son of Milan Tobacconists' founder J.H. Milan, Joe was a passionate pipe smoker who created his own blend in the 1950's and proudly recommended it to nearly every pipe smoking customer with whom he conversed. As the decades passed, it became more and more difficult to obtain the special tobaccos used to create Joe's Blend, and it finally became impossible to consistently produce the original blend. We decided to reformulate the classic and retain the name in honor of Joe. The "new" Joe's Blend is a very light English that makes an excellent choice for those who wish to dabble in the world of English blends. A small amount of Latakia is blended with Burleys and Virginias to create a smooth, rich, and slightly sweet smoke with notes of nut, hickory, and just a touch of spice. We'd like to think Joe would have thoroughly enjoyed it, and we certainly hope you do.

King's Ransom is a traditional English blend from bygone days. Two types of Virginias, select Burleys, Orientals, a generous portion of Latakia, and a whisper of Perique make up this bold blend. Considered medium- to full-bodied, King's Ransom has a rich Latakia flavor, subtleties of nut, and just a hint of spicy sweetness on the finish.

Our master blender created this English blend as a stand-in for our customers who enjoy the elusive Balkan Sobranie's Original Smoking Mixture, and these same customers tell us our Milan's Balkan Blend bears an uncanny resemblance to the legendary tobacco. Of course, we'll leave that all-important comparison to you. This Latakia-based recipe contains a medley of fine tobaccos, including Orientals and Virginias, that offer a bold, earthy, and spicy smoke with a touch of sweetness.

A superb, medium strength ribbon-cut mixture, pleasing to the taste with no trace of sweetness. This mellow English-type blend is created with five full Virginia tobaccos, adding touches of Latakia, Perique, and toasted Cavendish.
