Windjammer is my favorite for sure from what I’ve tried. Union square was fine for me but I actually prefer Opening Night.
Favorite GLP

Love orientals.
I've had several tins of Cairo from the first couple years of production. It aged as beautifully as any blend I've experienced.
Rajahs Court sounds like a fine blend, if they'd just omit the damned latakia.
I'm really surprised that only one person mentioned GasLight. A few years ago, you couldn't get people to shut up about that one, ha ha. I like it, but not as much as others with a lighter tough with the latakia. But, when it came out, it seems like everyone jumped on that bandwagon. But... I guess someone is going to tell me that it didn't happen, ha ha.
Same.
It usually takes me about 2 weeks to work my way through a tin. I finished my first Windjammer tin in 6 days. I just kept reaching for it.
Delicious!
Have not purchased any in years because I purchased a lot two decades ago in early days, through a decade ago. Still have a lot because I smoke less than most folks. Now a bowl a week or so.
Haddo's, Abingdon and Samarra. Haddo's used to be and hopefully still is amazing with age. All his blends are thoughtfully done; he's a very bright guy and has worked hard. Funny as can be as well with a sophisticated dry sense of humor. Like Craig T. was, in ways.
Samarra was my first 'transcendental' smoke. Epic memorable, even 20+ years later.
I don't know if the tobacco's have changed, that's not up to him as I recall...just the weather (presumably) and market. But, top shelf.

Cumberland, Embarcadero, Fillmore, Union Square, Haddos.
If this thread continues there won't be any blends left unmentioned. That speaks greatly to Pease as a blender. Pick the blends that sound good to you and order with confidence.
I'm in the UK so GLPease tobacco aren't easy to get. But I love Regent Flake and Key Largo. But they are also the only ones I have tried!
One of the GLP English / Oriental / Balkan / Cigar blends I haven't had yet is Key Largo - that's up next for me! 
I have the most tins of Union Square and Telegraph Hill, but you will also find Quiet Nights and Gaslight on my shelf for an occasional.
I haven't tried Chelsea Morning, but I'm burning through a supply of Squadron Leader at the moment and notice the rave reviews on Chelsea, perhaps I'll get some in my next order.

After a few bowls, I’m adding Geometrie. This stuff is fantastic in all respects. I really enjoy the various flavors being distinct, but all tied together by a surprisingly palpable sweetness that to me is both white sugar bright and brown sugar dark. I’m aware I’m veering into tasting-notes dbaggery there, but so be it. But beyond flavor, there’s zero bite, and it just smolders forever with a simple cube cut and minimal drying.
Smoking right now Union Square. I like it. It's the only blend from G.L. Pease i've tried.
I look forward for:
-Westminster
-Gaslight
-Odyssey
-Abingdon
-JackKnife Plug
-Key Largo
-Triple Play
-Cairo

This is interesting. I remember an exchange with a well known long-time forum member, about a year ago. On the subject of the forum that deals with FS, WTT, etc etc, he stated "Pease blends don't get a lot of love here".
On 4/3 I listed a group of 4 Pease blends for sale at what I thought was a reasonable price, considering their age. But maybe I was mistaken about the price, cuz there's been nary a nibble. To quote Fats Waller : "One never know, do one ?"
At this point, I'd be happy if the only blender left standing were Watch City.

Gas Light is my favorite GLP blend. Has been since it came out. It's a great Latakia blend, and I love Latakia blends.
