One of the all time Great's By: Mark G. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz Put 5 years of cellar age on this one and you will think you died and went to pipe smokers heaven!!!!!

Not a fan By: Gideon P. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz Boring compared to many other Englishes. Completely overrated. And for being a shag cut it is very difficult to keep lit

Nice By: Rick H. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz One of the easier Esoterica blends to get. An enjoyable oriental blend that is worth the hunt.

Va/Lat with a Healthy Helping of Orientals By: Eddie C. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz I'm a freak for Turkish/Oriental leaves so this is by far my favorite Esoterica. Va/Lats are dime a dozen but the introduction of Turkish leaves really takes this to the next level. Think cirtusy sweet virginias with that musky, woodsy latakia; a...

Clean English Blend By: Brendhain D. Product: Esoterica Margate 8oz Margate is a clean English blend. If you miss the quality tobacco blends from before the large U.K. production got shut down or moved to Denmark then this is about as close as you are going to get.

great English Blend By: Phillip E. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz i can say that this is one of my favorite blends from Esoterica. Just perfect.

A Nice Traditional By: Marc R. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz A few years ago I acquired a large amount of Penzance along with a good number of miscellaneous tins - seveveral were of 1913 Margate. I have to admit, when I first decanted a tin into a mason jar, I wasn't impressed. And so the jar sat in my cella... Read More r untouched until now. On this retry I discovered that the tobacco fairy had converted what was a fairly washed out shag into a near perfect light english. Smooth and slightly sweet, burns cool - an all day smoke if there ever was one. It's sad that this blend and its brothers have all but disappeared from the market. But if you do get a chance do try it out. Read Less

So good so what? By: crisalfo Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz Rich, smooth almost like velvet, deep and wonderfull...

Fair By: Nick b. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz Not the best old school English out there, but is made up of quality tobaccos.

On Point English By: Ski Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz This blend was really on point. Have not had a better blend english wise so far! Aroma was sweet with a little spice. Taste was great and got better towards the bottom. I would recommend some air time or it has a issue with staying lit. Great blend... Read More , great company! WORST thing about it AVAILABILITY. lol. Read Less

A fantastic vintage like English. By: Swiss-smoker Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz A fantastic, traditional, old style English blend, indeed. Evokes good old memories. Very balanced and skilfully selected Orientals, kind of warm, creamy, full body aroma, no beak pecking spiciness. Scrumptious Latakia. Rich palette of flavours. Natu... Read More ral tobacco sweetness accompanies you throughout the smoke. A gorgeous blend for all lovers of the old style English mixtures that have gradually disappeared from the market. Thanks to Esoterica, MARGATE fills the gap. It’s on my favourites list now. Read Less

Quality By: Daniel S. Product: Esoterica Margate 8oz one of the better english blends I have tried. Burns well and does not bite. If english blends are your thing - this might be your new favorite. . . . if it ever comes back in stock

really? By: drinksoda1one Product: Esoterica Margate 8oz I literally saw this email notification pop up. It was sold pout in 5 seconds. I am starting to think the smoking pipe employees are buying these esoterica blends up.

너무하네 By: Park g. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz 새벽 세시에 알람보내고 네시에 품절되면 어떻게 사란말야

The Definitive English By: Liquid360 Product: Esoterica Margate 8oz The cut, the moisture level, the note, and most importantly the taste... what I imagined an English blend tasting like before I'd ever tasted an English blend. I've tasted quite a few but always come home to Margate. It's burn is flawless, leaving a ... Read More nice gray ash. It's just sweet enough. Needs to dry a bit, but I prefer it as such. In my eyes it's the perfect English benchmark. Read Less

Not as good as I had expected By: Ease Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz I love english and lat heavy tobaccos, this one really doesn't do it for me. Picked up 2 tins while it was in stock, I've smoked the first one and really tried to like it, unfortunately it just falls flat for me. Perhaps I had expected more due to th... Read More e good reviews everywhere, leads me to believe its just overhyped due to short supply. I've tried it in a whole lot of different pipes, packed tight and loose as well as somewhere in between. No matter how I've tried it, it seems to be a bland boring smoke although it does smoke cool and dry. Not unsmoke-able but hoping this one gets better with some age. Read Less

Good By: John p. Product: Esoterica Margate 8oz If you like latakia then this is a tobacco for you, there is some sweetness to this tobacco. Not that interested in the shag cut, but that is not to take away from this tobacco, just a good smoke.

Superb By: John L. Product: Esoterica Margate 2oz Superb! Possibly the best English blend from possibly the finest blender J.F. Germain. A Rich, exotic, smooth and cool smoke. Cellar a tin - its even better with age.
