Other Cigar Brands That Also Produce Quality Pipe Tobacco?

[vosBghos]

I have a meeting tomorrow with a Cigar shop owner Who‘s looking to expand into pipes and tobacco.
I have noticed that at a few of the fancier cigar joints they only carry Ashton and Davidoff Pipe Tobacco.
I’m Wondering if this might be just out of convenience as they can easily just throw in some tins with a cigar order and not have to open separate accounts with Pipe Tobacco Distributors?
Would make sense to me and of course Ashton and Davidoff make quality stuff.
Are there any other‘s ya‘ll might know of ?
Id like to start setting up shop with stuff he can easily get his hands on and then work on getting some staple assorted tins and bulks through a proper pipe tobacco distributor.
thanks in advance …

General Cigar (owners and distributors of Macanudo, Cohiba, CAO, Hoyo de Monterrey, etc.) also serves as a distribution arm for ST-Lane (Lane, Peter Stokkebye, Peterson tobacco, etc.).

I don’t believe that any of those cigar manufacturers actually produce pipe tobacco. It’s just a licensing agreement.

But there are brands that use cigar tobacco in their blends.

Their pipe tobacco is made by Kohlhase & Kopp and Orlik.

There is no Orlik. Orlik is a brand owned by STG.

Dockers is owned by Levi but still called Dockers. Peterson isn't called STG either.

Guys, I don’t care who makes it or where as long as I can get it when I want it and I don’t have to sell the car to pay for it.

My point is that nothing is made by “Orlik”. That company has ceased to exist. There are still Orlik-branded blends, just as there are Dockers, Jeeps and Skippy peanut butter, but those cigar blends are made by STG.

I've always been curious as to why almost all blends branded by cigar companies are aromatics. Why not put their name on a cigar blend? Maybe something with some of their own leaf?
Meanwhile, so many great tobacco companies are making great cigar blends.

I think I'll head to Kempczinski's for a Big Mac, while smoking some Sutliff Blackhouse in a Laudasi Sherlock Holms pipe.

Thanks for all the info gents my meeting is in a couple hours. I understand that “produced” was the wrong word “branded” would be more accurate. I hope we can get some good brands to start the pipe corner. Incidentally I have a tin of Davidoff Flake Medallions and PipeStud said on the radio show that their Royalty blend is loaded with good Orientals so I’m excited to try a tin of that. Any more recommendations would be greatly appreciate.

As I said in another post but more to your point. I have a tin of Davidoff Flake Medallions that is supposedly highly sought after and PipeStud said the their Royalty mixture has some really good Orientals and I’ve also heard good things about Ashton’s Artisan blend. So hopefully we can get some good Englishes and Virginias to start the pipe corner.

Nat Sherman comes to mind. The pipe and cigar shop in Manhattan closed, but the brand is still carried by cigars and two or three blends of pipe tobacco, though who actually makes these products and under what licenses or contracts, I do not know.

MacBaren owns Sutliff! ;-)

I don’t know who macbaren is but Mac Baren does.

Think I’ll have some Cornell & Diehl Union Square.

Arango Cigar is a large importer/distributor of pipe tobaccos in the US. There are a whole bunch of brands listed on their website. Some that have already been mentioned on this thread.

 

[kanaia]

I'll second that on Arango. They have the best prices unless you go direct.

The Gurkha pipe tobaccos are very good.
