G. L. Pease Virginia Cream Pipe Tobacco

Upon opening tin it smells decent. Fairly dry. Upon lighting, first couple puffs are alright. It gets significantly worse from there. I’m not picking up any bourbon flavor, just vanilla. The room note is pleasant but the flavor gets awful and really harsh before I’ve even made it halfway down the bowl. I’ll try this a couple more times but if I get the same result it’s going in the trash.

It's a quality blend, it doesn't ring my bell. I'm not big on deer tongue, the special condimental used in this blend. The Virginias in this one are nice, but for me, the deer tongue detracts from them. Obviously, everyone has different tastes. So, don't let my review deter you from trying it. You might find it's spectacular for your tastes. Again, it is a quality blend.

I find this tobacco quite enjoyable. I love smoking it in my 320s. Don’t pack the bowl too tight, take your time smoking it and it will reward you with a very enjoyable smoke. I recommend this blend.

Well balanced mild/medium aromatic, taste, etc., for reading, studying & writing sessions hours long so I find this excellent for my projects.

This is my 4th GP blend and man can he blend. On my last big tobacco purchase I was most excited about this one. It even exceeded my expectations. GP blends are so masterfully blended, bringing out a very complex experience. If you're a Virginia tobacco fan, look no farther. They are incredible, grassy, fresh cut grass, sweet hay, like a wonderful walk thru a field on a beautiful summer day. I recently tried GP haddo's delight so I can start to distinguish perique. This isn't perique dominant. It is just a pinch, offering a little sour, spicy, gentle nose tingle. The vanilla and bourbon topping are just enough to notice, but marries incredibly well with the Virginia. This is a must try for all levels of pipe smokers from years of experience to beginners. Newbies be a little cautious with more nic hit than other aros but don't be afraid. It's not as nic strong as other GP's but it's not a baby. I don't know how GP does it, the blends are artworks of craftsmanship. You would be doing yourself a great disservice not trying it. As for tobbacopipes.com, awesome company n living outside Philadelphia PA it gets here in a couple days, earlier then the original delivery date every time. One last note for experienced smoker this is not goopy from 1st opening and doesn't leave a wet bowl.

This is the first blend in the Virginia category that I actually am quite fond of. The vanilla is sweet and upfront, but subtle and mild. The smoke is very creamy, my wife actually liked the room note. I'm seriously considering adding this blend to my permanent rotation. I am not sure what particular tobacco in this blend is drawing my attention, but this is good stuff.

Smooth and mild at both taste and smell. The vanilla aroma is not strong. Finding an alkaline stimulus from the middle of smoking, it's not bad. Enjoy sensitive and complicated virginia brend.

Very harsh and the flavor is horrible. It reminds me of the days when I used to smoke bugler rolling tobacco. Yuck! I tossed almost the whole tin in the trash. I do not recommend this tin and I will not purchase this tobacco again.

Smokes nice. I'll buy this again.
