Golden Era pipe tobacco line planned

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

G. L. Pease tells about a "Maltese Falcon" blend he's going to launch soon, maybe beginning a whole line of traditional blends. The descriptions sounds very promising:

Ever since the loss of our vintage Syrian leaf, I’ve been promising to do a blend based on the original Raven’s Wing using only Cyprus Latakia. I’ve done it, and this is it. The blend has a nice natural sweetness from the aged red Virginia leaf, and plenty of leathery, smoky Latakia notes. There’s an undercurrent of oriental spice, but its really the VAs and Latakia that dominate.​

I've smoked several of his blends in the past, and at least to my taste, they are about the best you can get.

oh boy, can't wait to try it...

Will we get a launch notice?

 

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

I'm getting his updates, so unless I forget it, I'll pass it on right away.

Sounds delicious! I smoke GL Pease blends quite regularly and am constantly impressed with them. Tasty, tasty stuff.

 

[Copper]

I too am looking forward to this release. I will probably have to get my local shop to bring some in specially, or wait until my next trip South of the border...

 

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

The stuff is in the shops now, including some online shops.

I'm curious already.

Very Excited

I'm really excited. Now that Dunhill pipe tobacco is no more

(moment of silence)

, I've been looking for something tasty, classic, and non-cavendish. This looks like it's worth a shot!

 

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

Yes, sad about Dunhill. It was German-made, but in the best Dunhill way, not the sugary stuff of the "Danish" type.

G. L. Pease's tobaccos are very Dunhilly in general.

G. L. Pease's tobaccos are very Dunhilly in general.

Especially Pease's Westminster...give it a try.

You'll never believe it

...but I found a seven-year old tin of Murray's-mixed Dunhill My Mixture 965 here in Taipei (!) I just opened it, and it's absolutely phenomenal.

Yet I digress. I look forward to trying the Pease mixes. I doubt that I'll find them here, but I'll be back Stateside soon enough.
