I still have quite a few Tsuge tins left, and I could have sworn that they were a Mark Ryan D&R creation. Whether STG or Drew Estates did the rest, I am certain that Mark did the blending.
A lot of aromatics in that group. I thought the only aromatic he did was London Dock.

Mark is connected to Drew Estates. D&R and Drew Estates did these. This was all Mark’s pet project, along with the perique cigars he designed with DE.
He was at the New Orleans Pipe Show with Drew Estates. They had the god series spotlighted along with several cigars that Mark designed.

I stocked up at that show and came home with 10 boxes of tins at cigars.
But, just happens the Tsuge tobaccos were a favorite of mine for a stint. I really liked the artwork too. I also really liked the orientals and perique ones.
