Pesse Canoe Flakes Now Available In The UK

[smudgersmissingleg]

Just a heads up to my UK mates that these are now available in the UK.


Pesse Canoe Oriental Flake:

Crafted exclusively from Virginia and select Oriental leaves, Pesse Canoe Oriental Flake is a refined blend made entirely from tobaccos grown on Gladora’s own fields in Turkey.

This flake-cut mixture offers a beautifully balanced profile with a naturally sweet aroma and delicate floral undertones. The initial flavour is rich with notes of dried fruits such as figs and raisins. As the bowl progresses, deeper spicy and floral nuances emerge, evoking the distinctive character of the Orient.


Passoe Canoe Latakia Flake 20 :

Passoe Canoe Latakia Flake 20 is a distinctive blend of Virginia, Turkish Orient, and rare Turkish Latakia—offering a fresh interpretation of the classic English style. Unlike its Cypriot or historic Syrian counterparts, Turkish Latakia brings a unique smoky character with a fruity depth, evoking dried fruits and ripe plums.

At the forefront is the natural sweetness of Virginia, delivering a smooth foundation. As the bowl develops, layers of spicy and woody notes emerge, creating a well-rounded and satisfying smoke.


Pesse Canoe Latakia Flake 40 :

Designed for fans of traditional Latakia blends, Pesse Canoe Latakia Flake features a bold 40% Turkish Latakia content, placing its rich, smoky character front and center. Unlike other varieties, Turkish Latakia adds a subtle fruity nuance, reminiscent of dark plums, that sets this blend apart.

Balanced by the natural sweetness of Virginia, this flake offers a harmonious interplay between deep, smoky intensity and gentle sweetness, making for a layered and satisfying smoking experience.

Wow, those sound really good. Looking forward to your take on these, especially the first one.

Unfortunately not as good as it reads imho. But P. Jensen is supposedly helping them to improve their blends, let’s see what the future brings.

Gladora, if you are reading this start using a seal on your tins!
Your price point is too high to gamble either how long it has sat on a shelf to dry out.

Forewarned. Thank you.

Yes its a cute little hinged tin with no silicone seal. It has a clear plastic seal on the outside but that is not close to enough.

If you get some immediately move it to a jar.

Mine wasn’t too dry. It was about right. It does take extra lights but it seems to burn very slowly. A small bowl seems the best solution if you dont want to smoke for hours.

You won't be hearing a take from me. Two out of the three contain Latakia (which I hate) and I haven't got any spare cash to try the other one. Plus, i've got plenty of blends and tobacco in the cellar, already.

I've currently got 35lb of tobacco consisting of over 200 different blends - many of which I haven't even tried yet. I'll be interested in hearing what people think if they do buy some, though.

 

[Sigmund]

I tried it again today. Its very far from lat forward. Its a bit strange. I doubt I will buy more. I dont think Id smoke it more than once every couple of months

I love the tin art. Those big black letters on the white background really make it pop. Would be funny if the retailers gave you a free sticker with your order to cover it. LOL

We have to modify them.

I've had the opportunity to sit down with the folks from Gladora, it's very interesting what they're doing. They are VERY Oriental forward, that's their main thing. More Virginia and especially Dark Fired would make their blends better imho. Their aromatic flakes will hit shelves soon!

It's good to see a new blender enter the market. Especially the UK one.

 

[condorlover1]

I'll have to give it a go as I absolutely used to love Turkish cigarettes when I was in my 20s.

 

[Puff nstuff]

The oriental one was what piqued my interest, actually. It is encouraging to see a new blender.

Ordered some of the Oriental yesterday.

Also, speaking of, C&D are now up on GQ, not a huge number - but five I'm pretty excited to try.

Just seen this. They are in the usual round tins rather than the usual ring pull jobs that are sold in the States. Fair play to C&D for doing that, we finally have access to it.

I really hope they sell well & a few more blends get included next time. But even if this is all we get, I'm chuffed. It's great that there's a range too - not just Aromatics. Really excited about this development.

Looking forward to see their collaboration with Per Jensen. So far, I find their blend underwhelming.

This really is awesome news. I remember Glynn Quelch imported a handful of C&D blends when he was working at Gauntleys, but they were very expensive.

Great to see some of their blends over here and at a decent price.
