CAO Tobacco

Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend - This tobacco is for the pipe smoker who misses the type of strong, full bodied flavor of Latakia blends that disappeared from tobacconists' shelves will be pleasantly surprised by this blend. This mixture combines the best Virginia grades with various Oriental tobaccos, 10% dark fired Kentucky leaf, and over 40% Latakia with a pinch of Perique.

Blue Note - Mild, golden Virginias, that possess a naturally high sweetness, are mixed with a very mild Black Cavendish. These tobaccos are aged for weeks together in pressed cake. A fresh flavor with essences of exotic fruits and a touch of Bourbon Vanilla is added to make this an extraordinarily mild blend.

Da Vinci - A delightful blend of light Virginia grades combined with Black Cavendish. Natural Tuscan flavors are added including infused Tuscan red wine, which gives this blend a wonderful taste and room aroma.

Gordon Pym - We recommend this tobacco to everyone who has preferred aromatic mixtures and who now are interested in getting to know "real tobacco". This blend contains Golden Yellow Virginia, Maryland, and a little Dark Fired Virginia that gives this blend a profound flavor. Precious Oriental tobaccos give Gordon Pym a soft, tangy flavor that is complimented by Syrian Latakia. The square cut supports the even and slow burn of this blend, especially in larger pipes.

Hamborger Veermaster - A genuine classic Virginia flake just like the sailors on the old German four mast (Veermaster) windjammer sailing ships used to smoke.

This tobacco is a blend for all lovers of classic Virginia flake.

London Blend No. 1000 - This blend is a wonderful, full-bodied, dark "after dinner mixture". This blend consists of Latakia, Oriental tobacco from Izmir, and Zimbabwean- Virginia tobaccos. It is extremely smooth and has a profound taste. With a clean and even ash, this full strength blend is for all pipe smokers who enjoy strong and richly flavored tobaccos.

The Malthouse "Founders Reserve" - This blend is named after the venerable former malthouse in which the tobacco is prepared. The Malthouse is a superb mixture of provincial Virginia tobaccos that are infused with Scottish Single Malt Whisky. The tobacco is then pressure fermented for approximately 12 weeks until it is fully aged. The Malthouse offers a mild, classically light smoke. This is a great transition tobacco for aromatic smokers into traditional straight blends.
