Indian Summer is a pipe tobacco brand that was introduced in the 1990s. It was developed by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, a leading manufacturer of high-quality tobacco products. The brand was created especially for lovers of flavoured blends and was intended to create a link between traditional pipe smoking culture and modern taste preferences.
The speciality of Indian Summer
The name ‘Indian Summer’ symbolises late summer with its warmth and variety of colours - two characteristics that are also reflected in the aroma and packaging. Indian Summer is characterised by its sweet and fruity aroma, which sets the tobacco apart from other blends. The base consists of exquisite Virginia tobacco, which is given a soft and creamy smoky flavour by the addition of Black Cavendish. The trademark, however, is the intense flavour of ripe plums, which makes the blend a real treat.
This combination offers a harmonious smoking experience that appeals to both beginners and experienced pipe smokers. The room note is pleasantly sweet and is perceived as particularly inviting by many non-smokers.
The target group: connoisseurs of fruity tobaccos
Indian Summer is aimed at pipe smokers who prefer flavoured blends but do not want to compromise on quality and a pleasant tobacco aroma. The brand enjoyed growing popularity in the 2000s in particular, as the trend towards fruity-sweet flavours increased. Many smokers appreciate Indian Summer as a change from classic tobacco blends.
Packaging and design
The brand relies on appealing packaging that visually picks up on the ‘Indian Summer’ theme. Warm colours and nature motifs convey a feeling of cosiness and enjoyment. This design sets Indian Summer apart from other brands and remains in the customer's memory.
Indian Summer through the ages
Indian Summer has hardly changed since its launch. The blend has remained unchanged, which makes the brand reliable for long-time fans. Nevertheless, minor adjustments have been made to the packaging time and again to meet the modern demands of the market. The brand is still a firm favourite in many tobacco shops and is sold both in Germany and internationally.
