Van Erkoms Fox

Gents this traditional South African Blend is unlikely to go out of fashion - ever. It is inexpensive, mild enough for an all day smoke, has a great 'honest' room note, and a burley like appeal. I will never have this blend missing from my list.

Hi all.

I have always pulled up my nose at this blend until some elderly gentleman basically put it in my pipe and handed it to me.

It has a very light burly taste thats is unlike most burly mixtures in that it does not get bitter. Its mild tasting with a decent tobacco flavour and medium vitn. Its not bad. I have been smoking this exclusively for a few weeks and am not tiring of it.

Its well priced and a very decent smoke. What more does one want?

This is as advertised, a very nice smoke for every day puffing. I however find it has a tendency to die on you when you least expect it.

It is a very nice "neutralizer" for some of the aromatics out there. It works particularly well for Rum & Maple. This particular mixture however has a tendency to engage you in conversation halfway threw the bowl. Thus, keep a pipecleaner handy, or practice your wrist flick, actually my favorite way to get rid of oil.

This is my second favourite tobacco next to Jock (also Van Erkoms). Very affordable. An everyday smoker. I also inhale my pipe and this inhales fine 🙂

Dit is my beste tabak, lekker smaak en aroma, vul vertrek met smaak en geur van pyp oral en ek soek niks anders nie, dit streel my smaak.

I grew up with my dad smoking this tobacco and the smell of it is what inspired me to take up the fine art of pipe smoking. This tobacco is suprisingly good considering the price and something that you can smoke all day. It also works good in house blends, especially when paired with an aromatic.

This is the only tobacco I have smoked for over ten years after trying various other types and not finding anything suitable. I really dislike any tobacco that has even a hint of flavouring. I am going to be working in Dammam Saudi Arabia from October does anyone know where to buy tobacco that side?

Another amazing blend by Van Erkoms.

It is definitely closely related to its canine brother Jock, yet milder and with a few other tricks up its sleave. The pouch note resembles cattle feed, an earthy/nutty/grassy aroma that is very mild yet inviting.

Lights, pack and burns well, producing a mild taste that translates accurately from the pouch note.

Not something that "could" be smoked any time, but something that is smoked throughout the day for nothing more than the absolute pleasure it is. Unpretentious and comforting.
