Margate. Isn’t It the Cats Meow!

[telescopes]

I just love this blend. Don‘t you? What are your thoughts about it?

Yes. I brought some with me to Nova Scotia and plan on lighting some up this week. To be honest, I’ve enjoyed every Esoterica blend I’ve been lucky enough to get a hold of thus far; I especially enjoy Pembroke.

I like it very much
If you like this, you should try Pembroke - ostensibly the same blend as Margate, but with a cognac topping

Bee's knees. Who's selling them?

When I heard that years ago, I jumped all over Pembroke. But much prefer Margate. Pembroke is gone, and I am lucky to have 4-5 pounds of Margate, plus a half dozen tins.

Relatively easier to acquire than some of the other Esoterica unicorns and more enjoyable, in my opinion.

Velvety smooth smokey goodness, I’ve got a jar half full I need to break into soon.

Margate and Pembroke - both excellent smokes.

Margate and Pembroke - both excellent smokes.

These are the only 2 eso blends I have in my cellar. I’ve never smoked any of these or their other offerings. Is their a peak age to smoke these at?

I like them right out of the tin.

 

[jpmcwjr]

I let mine age a few (4-5) years, but agree, fine as is.


For the long timers:
"Don't faff around"!!

I think Margate is the smoothest English blend that I've tried so far.

Do they still make St Ives?

Along with Margate, that was one of my favorites.
