The Courlander Story
Washing dogs with “Pop”, Cape Town 1978.
Just the hint of pipe tobacco wafting in the breeze can bring childhood memories flooding back. Don’t we all have a story about someone we loved who smoked a pipe? Here’s mine.
Long ago in a faraway land - known then as Rhodesia - my grandfather mixed, by hand, his own signature tobacco blend.
He’d sample each batch in a small clay pipe. Adding a pinch of brown sugar or a dash of ground dried plum until the smell and taste were just as he remembered.
Granddad is a remarkable man. This candle is my tribute to him. Hand-crafted with the essence of his one-of-a-kind tobacco blend, it burns with the same fire that sparked his clay tasting pipe more than a half century ago.
Its aroma will fill your room, allowing your thoughts to wander to simpler days. As mine do, every single time.
What makes it smell so good?
A house rests on its foundation. A tobacco blend rests on quality cured tobacco.
Brown sugar imparts a smooth sweetness that lingers in the air.
The sharp licorice bite of anise keeps the blend from veering too far from its roots.
A subtle hint of tart, sun-kissed plum was my Grandfather’s secret ingredient.
