Next time I'm in Madrid, I'm going to El Rastro hunting for pipes!
Yes Caporal Export and Superior * are those French domestic Tabac Gris *blends so to say very similar to Toscano fire-cured burley tobacco, the taste of those is quite a much reminiscent of Tabac de Semois Belge
I think there is what is called the second channel, which is not part of the monopoly, but tobacco is more expensive there.

I didn't know it was a state monopoly. I know it's illegal to order it online, so I'm not surprised. I've a few Spaniards say they stock up on overseas vacations or have a PO box in France, Andorra, or Tangier if they live close enough to one.
I had to download the list of the Spanish state and remove the tobaccos for hookah, because the list is more than 4000 different blends.

Wow I don't even recognize half of these and there's a whole bunch I would've expected to see but don't. My state had a monopoly on liquor sales up until maybe ten years ago but the individual stores could sell whatever items they wanted. Had no idea there were so many hookah blends, that's nutsI had to download the list of the Spanish state and remove the tobaccos for hookah, because the list is more than 4000 different blends.
But these are the pipe tobaccos that are sold in Spain.
Leave only the first blend of each brand because if you do not exceed the character capacity of the forum messages
There are 400 blends
