Black Sails Pipe Tobaccos? Is It Real?

[GandaulfTheGrey]

I've bought a pouch of pipe tobacco, it claims to be made in Denmark, under license of Sutliff Tobacco. However, I think it's fake, as I don't even find such a brand on google. Have you ever seen this brand?
I attach photos from it.

Only one way to find out. Smoke it and let us know.

That's interesting. It's not listed on Tobacco RFeviews, either. Did you buy it locally in Iran?

A local version or a knock-off, maybe.

@spartacus I like it. It has a nice taste (chocolate and vanilla) and doesn't burn my tongue, but it's low in nicotine. Compared to what I used to smoke (Captain Black Gold) it has a better flavor, but lower nicotine amount.
But again, I'm not sure it's actually from Denmark.
@danimalia Yes I've bought it locally in Tehran, Iran.

Maybe it's one they make just for certain regions. Since there is no listing on TR, you could add it and review it if you were so inclined. Glad you like it, anyway.

It's hard for me to believe anyone is making money off gray market pipe tobacco. Despite perhaps evading taxes and fees, etc., I don't see it as a revenue stream. Maybe a local basement repackaging scheme. If so, I suspect it's a loss.

I've been smokin' this one for about 6 months now, great aromatic... Don't let its not being listed fool you, it's quality tobacco... Definitely an STG product, no doubt...

if it's made in Denmark by a Sutliff co it's Mac Baren made IMO.
