G.L. Pease JackKnife Plug - Pipe Tobacco Review
July 27th, 2011
By Bob Tate
The tin aroma of this blend is a nice sweet and tangy smell that tickled the nose some. For this review I decided to mix the cut of the tobacco up. I shaved some of the tobacco off of the plug into a very fine ribbon cut and then I cut off a flake and cube cut it. After rubbing out the ribbon cut portion, the tanginess became a little more pronounced, but overall it smelled pretty much the same as it did before cutting the plug. The moisture level was a tad on the moist side, so I let it dry for a bit. I then mixed the ribbon and the cube cut tobaccos and loaded up my pipe and proceeded to the charring light.

G.L. Pease Montgomery - Pipe Tobacco Reviews
August 23rd, 2010
By Bob Tate
The tin aroma of this blend is a nice tobacco smell with a pretty tart and tangy aroma of, what I can only describe as, plums. The tart and tangy plum aroma is a smell that I get with a lot of blends that contain dark fired Kentucky tobacco. The moisture content is perfect for smoking right away. I loaded up my pipe and proceeded to the charring light.

2010 U.S. National Slow Smoking Championships
June 15th, 2010
By Bob Tate
Every year, since 2003, the United Pipe Clubs of America (UPCA) hosts the annual U.S. National Slow Smoking Championships at the Chicago Pipe Show. This year it was held on Sunday May 2, 2010 which was the last day of the show. Slow smoking contests are where contestants get together and see who can smoke their pipe the longest with just one light. Once your pipe goes out, you are out of the contest. The last person smoking is the winner and, at the U.S. Championships, is declared the U.S. Champion.

G.L. Pease Fillmore - Pipe Tobacco Reviews
June 8th, 2010
By Bob Tate
The tin aroma of this blend is slightly sweet and very tangy with a hint of plums. There is also a note of, what I can only describe as, darkness to the blend. There is a very small amount of Latakia in it (I think that it is 2%) and you really have to search for the aroma of it. At first I didn’t pick it up, I had to keep smelling it and I finally picked up on a very, very faint hint of it. The tanginess of the aroma starts my mouth to watering and I love when a VA/Per blend does that.

G.L. Pease Union Square - Pipe Tobacco Review
June 3rd, 2010
By Bob Tate
The tin aroma is a nice, straight forward, lightly tangy tobacco smell. There is also a hint of, what I describe as, hay. Some might call it grassy. The moisture content is good and no drying time was needed. I took a few of the broken flakes and fully rubbed them out, loaded my pipe, and proceeded to the charring light. On the charring light, I was greeted by a nice, sweet, tobacco aroma. The flavor was a nice tobacco taste with a hint of sweetness to it. I finished lighting the pipe and settled in for a nice relaxing smoke.

2010 Chicago Pipe Show - Pre-Show Part 2
May 6th, 2010
By Bob Tate
I arrived in Chicago on the afternoon of Thursday April 29, to cover The 2010 Chicago Pipe Show held by the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club (CPCC). Kevin picked me up at the airport and we drove back to the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, IL. and I checked into my room. The resort had accidentally booked me in a handicapped room (everything was made shorter to be assessable and I am 6 feet tall) so I had to change rooms and Kevin upgraded me to a suite next to his.

Interview with Greg Pease of G.L. Pease Tobacco - Part 2
April 16th, 2010
By Bob Tate
In Part 1 of our interview, Greg talked a little bit about how he got started blending tobacco, how he goes about developing new blends, a new blend that will be released soon, and many other things.
Here is Part 2 and the conclusion of our interview with Greg Pease.
PM: What are some of the changes that you have seen in the pipe and pipe tobacco industry over the years?
GLP: I’ve been smoking a pipe for about 30 years, now. Some blends and blending houses have changed dramatically. Companies have merged, or outsourced their brands to others, sometimes with less than optimal results. There’s been a drastic decline in pipe tobacco consumption over the years, and it just hasn’t been cost effective for a lot of the old blenders to keep their doors open. And, far too many retail tobacconists have shuttered. The days of walking into a great brick and mortar shop in any major city, talking pipes and tobaccos with knowledgeable staff seem to be behind us. There are still some fantastic shops, but they are fewer and farther between.

Interview with Greg Pease of G.L. Pease Tobacco - Part 1
April 15th, 2010
By Bob Tate
Greg Pease is the owner of G.L. Pease, Intl. Greg began blending pipe tobacco over 30 years ago and in 1998 left his regular job of 18 years to pursue tobacco blending full time. In early 2000, G.L. Pease Tobacco was born. G.L. Pease tobaccos have become one of the better known premier pipe tobacco blends today. Greg makes it a habit of using only the best quality tobaccos that are available at any given time in his blends. G.L. Pease tobacco blends are made by hand and in small batches to maintain the integrity of his blends.
He also runs his own website [glpease.com] which is loaded with useful information about pipe tobacco and the G.L. Pease tobacco blends, all of which is written by Greg himself. You can see all of the G.L. Pease tobacco blends with their descriptions at glpease.com and cornellanddiehl.com.
I recently had the opportunity to ask Greg some questions. Here is our interview with Greg Pease of G.L. Pease Tobacco:
PM: When you first started blending pipe tobacco blends, was it more of a hobby or did you have plans to make it into a business?

G.L. Pease Cumberland - Pipe Tobacco Reviews
March 10th, 2010
By Bob Tate
The tin aroma of this blend is a nice sweet and tangy straight forward tobacco smell. It smells pretty good. The moisture content is perfect for smoking right away. I loaded up my pipe and proceeded to the charring light. Upon the charring light, I am greeted by a straight forward tobacco taste and aroma accompanied by a slight sweetness. There is also a sort of a sharpness to it has well. I detect the sharpness on my palate, but it is not a bite. That may be the Kentucky tobacco. I finished lighting the pipe to see where this blend would go.
At the start, I taste a nice naturally sweet tobacco taste. There is a bit of fullness to the smoke that I would attribute to the Kentucky. The sharpness is still there, but it moved more to the background. There is some smokiness to it as well, but not a Latakia smokiness. It’s more of a natural straight type of smokiness. The sweetness is very light and subtle and seems to be detected more on the finish than the actual smoke. Read the rest of this entry »
