G.L. Pease: 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee 2oz.

Celebrating 25 years of G.L. Pease, Silver Jubilee is a distinguished expression of traditional Virginia flakes. Crafted from special 25-year-old Red Virginia leaf, select flue-cured grades, and subtle whispers of rare Italian Dark-Fired Kentucky, the blend offers a rich, layered profile...

Crumble it a little, then loosely pack it into the bowl; that works for me.

Incredible pipe... can I ask the maker?

I would say that this blend has less than most of the others.

So I caved in and bought a tin from my local shoppe. Went out to the car and loaded a pipe. Before I got to far down the street I was on the phone having them reserve a few tins for me until next week when I return another delivery! You are right, the DF isn't too pronounced, it has that JUST RIGHT flavor. Nice and spicy reds and the DF just gives it some rich fullness. Thanks Jim

You're very welcome. If it wasn't for the three aspects of the DF that I mentioned, I'd have rated it lower on the flavor level which is why I clarified it as I did in my review.

I'm curious, which one do you prefer, Dusk or this one? (*￣︶￣)

Thanks for the FYI, 2 tins incoming!
I had checked 4Noggins earlier and they were out, so they must have received a new shipment.

Got my Christmas present to myself yesterday and true to form I've never found a Red Virginia/Dark fired blend I didn't like. based on Jims review I ordered the max and am happy I did.

I know I'll smoke through the 1st tin quickly then I'll have to restrain myself to ration it out maybe throw in a little Sansepolcro and Firebird in between.
