Amphora Original Blends

Amphora Original Blend pipe tobacco really caught on fire here in the states during the early 1970s. but in the 1990s  the manufacturer, Douwe Egberts, sold its tobacco interests to another company and it soon became lackluster, blend of very simple Burleys and ribbon cut  Virginia’s that was almost tasteless and often sold stale. Then, in 2006 the famous Mac Baren Tobacco Company purchased Amphora Original Blend, along with the rest of the line, and the brand got a fresh new coat of paint!

Today, Amphora Original Blend pipe tobacco features a  well-rounded blend of aged  Burley and Cavendish, balanced with top-quality Turkish, Virginias, and dark-fired Kentucky tobaccos. Once again, a  world-class name in pipe tobacco, Amphora Original provides the smoker with rich chocolate top notes backed by cream, cocoa, and the natural nutty sweetness of the Burley.
