New In: White Elephant Pipe Tobaccos
African-inspired aromatics from a Bavarian pipe-making legend — four 50g tins, each named for an iconic landscape
Founded in Bavaria in 1945, White Elephant began life as a small, independent briar pipe workshop. Their early use of Tanzanian meerschaum for bowl inlays gave the brand its iconic name — and forged a lasting connection with Africa that continues to inspire their pipe tobacco range today. Now part of the Kopp family of brands since 2019, White Elephant launched their pipe tobacco range in 2023: four beautifully crafted African-named aromatics, each evoking a different landscape of the continent.
The African Safari Collection
Four distinct 50g tins of aromatic pipe tobacco, each blending premium Virginia and Cavendish leaf with an exotic casing inspired by the flavours and spirit of Africa.
Sahara — Date & Honey
Inspired by the golden dunes of the Sahara, this warm and indulgent blend combines Black Cavendish, Broken Virginia, Cube Cut Virginia and Burley, delicately seasoned with an irresistible date and honey aroma. Rich, sweet and deeply satisfying — an effortless smoke with a beautiful room note.
Size: 50g Tin | Price: £21.70
Etosha — Marula Liqueur
Named after Namibia’s vast salt pan and game reserve, Etosha is a vibrant exotic blend of Broken Virginia, Black Cavendish and Burley — finished with the distinctive fruity-caramel aroma of Marula liqueur, the prized fruit of the African bush. Uniquely flavoured and endlessly interesting.
Size: 50g Tin | Price: £21.70
Kalahari — Fig & Nut
Drawing inspiration from the ochre sands of the Kalahari Desert, this refined blend pairs Broken Virginia, Dark Virginia and Black Cavendish with a subtle fruity-nutty fig aroma. Smooth and understated, Kalahari rewards the patient smoker with layers of quiet complexity.
Size: 50g Tin | Price: £21.70
Serengeti — Prickly Pear
As expansive and refreshing as the great Tanzanian plains it is named after, Serengeti blends Black Cavendish, Broken Zimbabwe Virginia and Burley Cube Cuts with an exotic prickly pear cactus aroma. Bright, fruity and thoroughly distinctive — a blend that truly stands apart from the crowd.
Size: 50g Tin | Price: £21.70
