I figured it was about time I did another review from an amazing package I received a while back from Brandon @bfreebern.
Today’s pick was GL Pease Westminster
When I opened the bag I was sucker punched by the aroma of a chimney that hadn’t been cleaned in decades. That being said, it’s right up my alley.
Knock knock
Who’s there?
Creosote
Didn’t require much dry time at all, it’s a very fine cut ribbon.

Upon lighting I was met with a very familiar profile. That creamy, peaty GL Pease Latakia. I love it! Honestly by the bright color of the blend I was not expecting much in the way of a lat forward smoke. But I was pleasantly surprised. I also got sweetness and a bit of a floral flavors (Virginia/Turkish) in the finish.
As the bowl went on, it was more of the same, which was fine by me. It was a very dry smoke and got a little warm a few times because I tend to smoke faster when I enjoy the blend (is that a thing or is it just me?)
The total burn time in my loosely packed MM was about 20 minutes. I probably could have gotten another five or so minutes, but I always feel guilty if I step outside for too long at work.
This blend was a very nice treat, and as always I was very grateful for the opportunity!!
