Rauch Pfeifentabak aus Österreich

This is a pipe tobacco from Weinhof Rauch, which farms on volcanic soil in Austria's Styria region; the family business grows tobacco on small plots alongside its vineyards. The product is prepared from one hundred percent natural Austrian tobacco with no additives, and every stage from cultivation to processing takes place within the country.

The operation states it uses no pesticides and relies heavily on manual labor. Being unflavored, it is positioned as a natural (natur) tobacco rather than an aromatic. Under Austria's tobacco monopoly regulations it cannot be sold directly and is only available through licensed dealers called Trafik. The maker has not published a detailed specification of the blend's leaf composition or cut.
