Back in July of 2014, Tsuge and Drew Estate debuted eight new tobaccos at the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers (IPCPR) show in Las Vegas. We've had the first four, the "Four Seasons series," for a while now, but fans of Tsuge, Drew Estate, and the first series have been eagerly awaiting the next. Well, here at Smokingpipes.com, today is that day, as we finally offer the "God" series.
Fujin, Gunjin, Raijin, and Ryujin, four of the major Kami (gods, or more accurately, spirits) of the Shinto religion, are the embodiments of the forces of wind, war, thunder, and water. Revered as elements of nature, animals, creationary forces and, quite often, as ancestors, the Kami live in harmony with nature.
Appropriately, the "God" series features classic, natural blends, with two bold English mixtures, an American style Burley/Perique, and a more subdued Scottish blend. As fierce and powerful as the sea, as calm an unrelenting as the stream, the "God" series is sure to please those looking for a more traditional tobacco.
