Ogden's Tobacco Company was founded by Thomas Ogden in 1860 when he opened a small retail shop in Park Lane, Liverpool. Within a short time, he had established several branches throughout the city and in six years, his factory in St James' Street.

In 1870, additional premises were acquired in Cornwallis Street, and by 1890, Ogden's had six factories in Liverpool. The present factory at Boundary Lane was built in 1899, and all operations were concentrated at this site when it opened in 1901.

Gold Block consists of Virginia and Burley tobaccos sweetened by a secret process. The perfect tobacco to smoke peacefully and ponder on what the day will bring!

Tasting Notes

Gold Block pipe tobacco is blended from top-quality, rich and naturally sweet Virginia, spiced with Flue-Cured Burley and other choice tobaccos, sweetened by a secret process.

This gives this tobacco a medium smoke with a distinctive Continental aroma.

It is truly the aristocrat of pipe tobaccos. Smoke this tobacco peacefully.
