Esoterica Tobacciana Dunbar

In the pouch, this smells sweet and somewhat grassy, like a warm breeze over a field full of hay. It's both sweet and musty, with the undernote of perique very noticeable with its aroma of figs and raisins.

The flakes are broken, and it can be packed as-is or rubbed out for indoor smoking. It lights and burns quite well, with a nice subtle sweetness and pleasant woodsy undertones. The flavors start out rather mild but quickly wax in fullness to a solid light-medium body. The room aroma is sweet and "tobacco-tasty", but some may find it too cigarette-ish for their taste. I love the stuff and have several pounds stashed 🙂

While it starts out mild, by the end of the bowl it takes on a very full, musty character as the perique comes to the fore. It also responds well to a DGT and is GREAT with an IPA or Belgian ale.

Here we have a strange, unique but ordinary blend. Cracking this tin for the first time (literally the first, never have had any ET or G and sons) the smell reminded me of so much of other grassy Virginia blends, but a better version of anything In relation. The smell vaguely reeking of Orlik golden sliced, but with an ancient maturity. This was no golden slice, this was a hardened, experienced warrior with a beard. A great blacksmith with long, ancient knowledge, looking down at its apprentice,Orlik golden sliced… There’s something wonderful and jarring happening as you experience this Tobacco. Both in smell and taste. It’s almost as if you can feel, smell and taste all the knowledge and experience that went into the Tobacco. Calm and collective smoke, smooth and grassy, with the perfect hint of spice. https://youtu.be/fjVY7Gl72rs

went to my local B&M in November and found a tin of Dunbar. I knew of Esoterica but not Dunbar. I like VaPer's and picked up a tin of Dorchester as well. Great tin aroma as others have stated. First light with Dunbar and I knew it was special. Really smooth creamy smoke which had a sweet undertone. Not aromatic sweet but quality tobacco sweet. This is an amazing blend if you like vapers. Mild but can punch if you push it some but a gentle very satisfying smoke if you sip it. Burns well and deserves a special place in the cellar. I also picked up Margate, And So to Bed. My local shop had a big drop and while I do not smoke English blends often I am sure they will be special.

Excellent in bulk and tin. This is a goto blend for me.

An excellent everyday VaPer. The quality is very high and when purchased in the 8oz bags the price is quite modest. This offering from Esoterica is hitting on all cylinders, imho.

When I opeaned the tin the aroma was a bit "stinky" but after I smoked a pipe full I was amazed. This is a wonderful tobacco. I highlly reccomend this tobacco!

Hi, I like esoterica tobacco very much.If I have a chance,I would smoke it all time.Certainly Dunbar fit me the best for the natural ,and pleasant aroma.Luisiana and Virginia is a very good mixture.I would like to taste all of your brands ,but especially dunbar(multiply marriage works great),I hope I will get some to enjoy it. to

I bought my tin eight months ago and upon opening not only was the tobacco odor overwhelming, but the paper liner was stained brown and somewhat sticky. I jarred the tobacco and let it air a few hours as someone else suggested. When I lit the first bowl, I knew I'd be looking for more of this. Of the six or so Virginias I've had recently, I rate this number one!
