"Hi-Plane Pipe Tobacco" What Was It?

mike660 · May 31, 2017

I bought a Hi-plane tobacco tin and I was wondering what origional made up the blend. I have spoken with Steve Laug of rebornpipes, Charles Lemon of dadspipes, and Russ Oullette master blender of Hearth and Home and no one could help me. I tried searching online for tobacco, copyrights, and catalogs but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone here know how to help me here? Any help would be appreciated. The blend was made by the Larus & Bro. Co.

From what I could find it's a pipe or cigarette blend so it sounds like a mix of Virginia and Burley.

It's what you smoke immediately after joining the Mile High Club. :mrgreen:

^^^That is a tough one to follow. :clap:
I will say that Hi-Plane must have been exceedingly good, because people spend hundreds of dollars hoping to get crumbs from emptied old tins of the stuff.

Interesting, learn something new every day. I love how no matter how many baccos youve heard of, chances are there are a bunch more youve never heard of...

If true, then wouldn't they have called it Biplane?

Virginia and burley usually pair well, especially if you happen to like the proportions in a blend. Plus, the Virginia usually improves remarkably with age, and burley keeps well, so with proper storage, it only improves. I enjoy blends that also include a condiment portion of Cavendish, and if this happens to be based in Virginia leaf, well! Plenty of these blends around, starting with PC Log Cabin, for example.
