G.L. Pease blends

[mrgunnar177]

Considering trying some of his blends for my next tad order. Thoughts on the tobacco and what your favorite blends are?

 

[doctorthoss]

I think he makes -- overall --- the best line of tobaccos on the market today.

The ones I recommend the highest are:

Odyssey (best Balkan around, IMO)

Maltese Falcon (a great all-day English)

Chelsea Morning (a great light English)

Filmore (my favorite Va/Per)

Cairo (orientals and VA)

Sextant (a Navy flake with latakia)

It's nearly impossible to go wrong with a G.L. Pease blend.
My favorites -
Maltese Falcon

Lagonda

Sextant

Westminster
All of those are pretty much in the English-style.
For a really great Virginia, try Union Square. It's delicious.

I love Quiet Nights. I have some Sextant but have yet to crack open the tin. I have been wanting to try some Odyssey. It sounds really good.

only one i know of personally is haddo's delight. It's spicy and has a good nic hit - both pros in my opinion.
edit to add: it's also very dry-smoking. Never a gurgle or goop at the bottom. easy to smoke all the way down.

Haddo's Delight, Union Square and Maltese Falcon are the only ones I've tried. I love Haddo's and Maltese Falcon. Union Square not so much but others love it... I'll have to try some aged and see if I like it then

Westminster. Second only to Penzance in the world of English blends, in my opinion.

 

[rcstan]

I have only sampled GLP Westminster. This blend is on par with Samuel Gawith offerings. As I'll make my way through other GLP blends I'll have more thoughts. But I was thoroughly satisfied.

 

[cigrmaster]

Haddo's and Jackknife Plug are two of my favorites. When I was an English smoker, I used to smoke a lot of Pease blends, I thought he made just about the best English blends on the market.

Oh yeah! Quiet Nights! Love it, love it, love it!

 

[jbbaldwin]

Jackknife! Simply stunning.

 

[daytonsean]

Jack knife is most excellent.

 

[macattack]

Jackknife Plug and Union Square are the only GL Pease Blends I have tried and they're both fantastic. Cairo and Haddo's are gonna be next for me.

 

[mrgunnar177]

Awesome! TAD order is being placed tonight or tomorrow

 

[lordofthepiperings]

I've thought about maybe grabbing a GL Pease blend. I'm not into Latkia/Oriental tobaccos at all really. So, I'd have to hunt down a VA, VAPer, or VA/Burley blend in his line.

 

[mick]

All the hype over Odyssey made smoking it a bit of a let down. It's not a lat bomb or the best balkan I have ever had. It's decent, but I found it lacking latakia and lacking VAs/Orientals: allow me to explain. The latakia was very strong, but not as strong as (in my opinion) 3 Oaks Syrian. It was also not balanced enough to make the latakia an equal partner in the blend, like (in my opinion) Robert McConnell Oriental. It was neither enough latakia nor too little and for me it wasn't "just right" it was just meh. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't BAD, far from it, but when you read reviews, you expect to be WOWed, and I wasn't.
Bottom line: you just have to try them for yourself to see. :lol: Happy shopping!

 

[dhizzy]

I have smoked Maltese Falcon, very nice blend. I have unopened tins of Westminster and Trlple Play.

 

[bclarke]

Maltese Falcon is a favorite. To me, it tastes like my meditation incense smells, if that makes sense. I also think gin tastes like Scotch tape smells, so take that for what it's worth.

 

[sparroa]

Bclarke, People use "incense" as a descriptor for latakia all the time, so you certainly aren't wrong...
