More Details |
Erik Stokkebye's father, Erik Peter, known to the pipe smoking world as Peter Stokkebye, was a gregarious man who was liked and respected around the world. 4th Generation 1931 salutes Peter with a uniquely aromatic flake made of top-notch air-cured and aged Virginias with some velvety black Cavendish and a subtle top-note which sets it apart. 4th Generation tobacco and pipes are a great addition to your collection for when you want to relax with a pleasing tobacco blend.
This is my first review of a tobacco product so I may not be as flowery as some but here goes! I first ran into 1931 at my local B&M, I had finally made the switch from regular Aero smoking (one day I woke up and they had just become too much - Goodbye 1-Q my old friend) and I was now tearing through my B&M's Virginia selections seeking that "perfect smoke". I had just about tried all of the bulk straight Va's and Va Per's, flakes, cubes, ribbons, ect... Every time you go in and purchase they always offer you a 'bowl for the road" of something new you may be reluctant to purchase. Well on this day there was nothing that I had not sampled and he said... "Have you tried any of the tins?" I responded, No a little too risky for me. Don't want to go wrong. He reached into his blazer and pulled out a tin of 1931 and said, "I know you well enough to know that you will LOVE this" It's what you've been looking for - SMELL! I was like, "Okay buddy - You aren't getting my money on humbug!" The tin note was amazing!!! Grassy, Hayloft, with a slightly floral and spice top note... NOW YOU'VE GOT MY ATTENTION!!! He said "TAKE ONE, This one's for the road!" He was right and knew me better than I knew myself. 1931 was an amazing smoke. Fold, Stuff, and Puff away. Great from char to bottom! Very little left behind, not to hot, absolutely no bite and I puff like a mad man when I drive home. My only regret was not getting a tin right there! Last night my order arrived, very fresh, a little moister but all the same rich grassy hay like flavor that I remember, with just a hint of sweet to remind me of my long forgotten friend 1-Q! If you are a flake lover: Navy, Bullseye, Etc. YOU'VE GOTTA TRY THIS!!! Only second too my all time fav "Dunbar", but definitely a top contender that will always be on hand in my cellar!
