Mississippi River     

The Original best-selling blend that started it all.

Mississippi River actually appeared to Master Blender Joe Lankford in a dream.  Awakened from a sound sleep he grabbed a pencil and scribbled the recipe before the memory faded.  The next morning he used those notes to create a Virginia blend like no other.  Mississippi River was born.  The rest is history in a tin.  Enjoy the rich Virginias pressed in cakes with oriental leaf, a pinch of Latakia and Perique.

“Delightful mild English.  The pleasure grows as the ash thickens and the sweetness of the leaf develops.  Excellent balance, packs great and smokes cool.”

Rainier Levant

Full English Balkan mixture of Latakia, Turkish Orientals, and Red Virginia.

Some of Joe Lankford’s favorite old tobaccos were made by the legendary Drucquer & Sons Ltd in Berkeley, California.  While the shop is a distant memory, an ancient tin of Drucquer’s Levant Mixture inspired Joe to create his Rainier Levant blend.  This is a Latakia lover’s blend with rare complexity.  Rainier Levant is redolent with the richest tobaccos.  Aged Turkish and Latakia spiced with a bit of Red Virginia leaf.  Joe’s homage to Drucquer & Sons is a celebration of days gone by.  But you can enjoy it today.

Wild Man

Master Blender Joe Lankford’s tribute to the Pacific Northwest legend of Bigfoot.

The locals call him Wild Man.  Many have sought him yet the mystery remains unsolved.  Now we can reveal the location of our mysterious and delectable English tobacco. It can be found right inside this tin.  Joe Lankford created his medium bodied all day smoke from four complex leaf ingredients: rich and smoky Cyprian Latakia, exotic Orientals, and select sweet Virginias, pressed into an easy-to-prepare crumble cake. The aroma is very fragrant but the flavor is smooth, smokey, and intriguingly unique.  Enjoy a delicious bowl of Wild Man but know this: he’s out there somewhere.
