White Elephant Sahara

Sahara is a member of the Afrika aromatic tobacco line introduced in 2023 by White Elephant, a brand founded in 1945 as a small briar-pipe workshop in Bavaria. The brand takes its name from the Tanzanian meerschaum it used in its early pipe bowls; since 2019 it has been among the brands under the Kopp umbrella, keeping the blend tied to the German tobacco tradition. The composition combines black cavendish, broken Virginia, cube-cut Virginia, and Burley, topped with a date and honey-based casing. The mixed cut, offering both slow-burning cube pieces and quick-catching broken leaf, means little pressing is needed while packing. On the flavor side, cavendish's dark sugary base leads; Burley adds a nutty body and slight dryness. Nicotine level is measured. It's offered in a 50-gram tin.
