The more I smoke of it, the more I like it. I am tasting more of the perique in my latest bowls, so I can see the Haddo's comparisons a bit more, but this is still quite unique in the GLP lineup.

Smoking mine now.Not bad,so far,but the jury is still out.Not like Haddo's Delight, in my most lowly opinion. ?
Didn't get any. Isn't it gonna be a regular issue, gonna be stocked all the time blend?
With the many Lebowski references I've seen by posters, perhaps Pease should do a related blend... A CBD infused offering, with a Kahlua topping. A good name for it would be "Logjammer". 
It is a rational idea, Tim. Arugula, on the other hand, is pure WTF.
Should be a regular release.
Ordered 2 tins from Smoking Pipes late afternoon 2/12, USPS First Class shipping. They were delivered yesterday 2/17. (Columbus Ohio)
Wife ordered a Shark (vacuum) 2/13 from Amazon with free shipping and it was also delivered via USPS yesterday.

After 3 bowls of it - it's not to my likings. Waaaay' too much perique which overbears everything else. I'll jar it up and hope aging helps it. IMO, this is nothing close to Haddo's. At all.
One star and 2 thumbs down. And this is coming from a GLP "fan-boy."
I'd rather have pineapple on my pizza.

Do you think some age will tame the perique?
I saw a review by Shane that said age will do good things for it. I bought 2 tins but thinking I’ll let it age before smoking it.
Probably. I’m sure these are very fresh tins so even a few weeks can make a difference let alone a few months.
To be fair, that's true for many C&D blends.
6 months to a year in a Ball will likely open it up a bit... sounds like another Pease winner. ?

Will aging help it ? One can only hope. Both went into mason jars and will be forgotten for a while, I couldn't smoke any more of it. Just add it to my list in which any tobacco with a ship on it ? I dislike. Damn' ships. "Literally like totally,"
Disclaimer: Remember this is just my opinion and I'm not a heavy perique fan. I think lots of other guys will like this blend.
I think I'll go fire up some of GLP's Spark Plug as that stuff is the schitz'. And the aftertaste is Heaven.

I can’t get on board with Spark Plug due to its hideous tin art. No joke. It makes me think the tobacco is going to taste like rust, or I’m a mechanic or something. The name and tin art just killed it for me. Obviously, that’s just me, as many others like it. To each their own.
As I’ve heard someone say: pipe smoking is also done with the eyes.
You may be onto something there. My first profession was heavy equipment/diesel mechanic so I love the name, tin art and the greasy taste and smell...lol
If you already don't like the perique Im not sure aging it will do you any good. If Im not mistaken perique is already aged due the long process of creating it.
Now that you describe it as “greasy” I may actually have to give it a try. It was either Penzance, Nightcap or Artisan’s Blend (or all three) that has an “oily” taste, and I quite like it.
Well it's @danimalia fault I have a few tins coming. Got me with "... Windjammer is sweeter and richer, and has a bit more of a "darker" flavor profile. I can taste the rum more in Windjammer as well..." Seems like my kind of blend, also seems from the profile that jarring won't hurt.
Gaslight has it too.,,,greasy, oily - but flavorful.
