Amphora 全香型烟斗烟草

Not your typical drugstore blend.

Any time tobacco comes in a pouch, or is widely available, people tend to assume it is somehow lower in quality. Now you and I know that’s not true. Just because something is popular, doesn’t mean it’s bad. And I can rattle off a long list of high-quality pouch tobaccos. Today, that list grows even longer, because I can include Amphora Full Aroma.

This blend has been around for decades, it has just been scarce to find in the US market. Full Aroma is a true old-school aromatic recipe, one quite different from the aromatics we know today. This Dutch-style Cavendish blend uses rich dark-fired Kentucky leaf, along with a base of Burley and sweet Virginias. On top of all of that, light notes of dark cocoa and dark fruit are added. Unlike your traditional aromatic blend, these top notes are not the focus of the blend. They are present enough that you can taste them, but the natural flavors of the tobacco shines through as well. When you try Amphora Full Aroma, you’ll find an aromatic blend unlike others you’ve experienced before, one that is truly a top-tier tobacco (pouch, tin, bulk, or otherwise).
