Gladora Pesse Canoe

With Pesse Canoe, Gladora Tobacco brings three distinctive flake tobaccos to Europe, each with a profile firmly shaped by Turkish leaf tobaccos. Virginia from the Adiyaman region meets aromatic Oriental tobacco from Yayladagi and Bitlis, along with an unusual Latakia produced in Turkey by the company itself. The Oriental and Latakia tobaccos in particular give these pipe tobaccos a distinctive character, making the series especially appealing to experienced pipe smokers who would like to explore classic tobacco varieties from a less familiar origin.

Pesse Canoe Flake: Pipe Tobacco Made from Turkish Tobaccos

Gladora Tobacco is still relatively new to the European market, but had previously established a presence in Turkey and Asian markets. The company was part of the sphere of the former Turkish tobacco monopoly and uses exclusively Turkish-grown leaf tobaccos for Pesse Canoe. One distinctive feature is the locally produced Latakia made from tobacco leaves from Izmir. It combines the characteristic smokiness of this tobacco variety with fruity, earthy and slightly floral notes. The prominent role of Oriental tobacco is equally unusual: rather than merely adding accents, it plays a defining role in the blends.

Turkish Virginia, Oriental and Latakia in Flake Form

The three Pesse Canoe Flakes showcase different facets of this Turkish tobacco composition, placing the natural characteristics of the varieties used at the forefront. Virginia from Adiyaman provides the base, while Oriental tobacco from Yaydalagi and Bitlis contributes a distinctly aromatic component. Turkish Latakia adds smokiness, earthy depth and a surprisingly elegant fruitiness and floral character. Neatly cut flake slices make it easy to prepare the tobacco for the pipe according to personal preference; they are carefully layered in a rectangular metal tin with a hinged lid. Pesse Canoe is therefore particularly suited to connoisseurs looking to discover flake pipe tobacco with a clearly recognizable Oriental character and a distinctive interpretation of Latakia.
