New GL Pease Blend

[sablebrush52]

You can have a moist tobacco in a shag cut and it will smoke effortlessly.

Though it won't have the depth of flavor it will have if dried.
I'm very happy to see this new blend from Greg. I'm assuming that it's pretty interesting or he wouldn't have bothered. I'm looking forward to tasting what Greg hath wrought when my order comes in.

Load 1000 or so into your cart and it will give you a warning that they only have 437 ect... doesn't work when they place purchase limits on the items.

Thanks! :D

Ram74 said "I thought Greg was retired? Did he actually blend this?" Interesting there is not a mention of this new blend (that I was on either Greg's Facebook or his home page.

Sounds interesting, I do like C&D dark fired blends.

I asked Greg the same question today and he said. It is his baby....a long time in the making, but well worth it. He also said he’s been keeping it quiet and some timing things caught him by surprise but he was glad it was ready by the IPCPR show. He will get a write up on his website when he gets back to California.

Great news, jon11. One of my favorite things about GLP is the connection between those blends and their creator. I love smoking GLP blends, but I also love to read GLP writing about his blends and what he was going for.

I am enjoying this blend. Only had 2 bowls so far. I like packing a shag a little tighter then normal. Perfect moisture out of the tin, no relights. Virginia’s are excellent but I expect that. The Perique is great on the retrohale, seems like a fair amount in this blend. Kentucky is barely present for me. Looking forward to spending more time with it.
Plus great tin art without a warning label!

Pretty tasty stuff. Burned a cob full with no relights. Flavor reminds me of Royal Yacht without a topping.

I popped a tin of Six Pence last night. It does have a liquor tin smell, but it's really good stuff. I will look forward to hoarding getting some of this ASAP.

I should pack shag tighter, no?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Garageboy, It will feel like you are packing tighter, but still check the draw to make sure you aren't over-packing it. Shag allows more air to pass, so you have to press harder to get the bowl at the same density that you may be used to with a regular ribbon cut.

There are a few shags that I enjoy. The cut definitely affects the flavors. Some I like, some not so much. YMMV

Just finished my tin. I am not sure I had a red Virginia in a shag cut before. I really enjoyed it, should age nicely. I would stay with a more narrow chambered bowl, did not care for it at all in my wide ones. I will stock up when it is on sale.
