The 66 Aromatic Taste has delightful as soon as crack the tin, a rich and pungent aroma of marzipan fills the air. The fluffy ribbon cut is comprised of Virginia and Black Cavendish, which packs easily and thanks to conservative use of sugary casings.
Poul Ilsted is one of Denmarks finest pipe makers, his passion for briar and leaf started at around 14 years old. As soon as he left school he went to work with the Iconic Erik NØrding, back then Erik had 7 employees and Poul soon began dreaming of branching out on his own. To this day Ilsted pipes are highly prized among collectors and connoisseurs alike.
As with all those that make pipes, the biggest thrill is smoking them and what better than your own blends. Working with the master blenders at Kohlhase & Kopp, one of Europes most prestigious blending houses. These high quality blends were created with Poul and hand blended using only the finest leaves and natural casing/toppings.
