The new Greg Pease blend is on the streets

July 13th, 2008 | Category: Pipes and tobacco

It seems like Maltese Falcon was just released - I guess it has been about six months. Now Key Largo has been released, according to C&D. I’m looking forward to trying this one.
Key Largo pipe tobacca blend by Greg Pease

I dig the new art deco label design. I hope he sticks with that.

Greg’s description:

Deep, earthy and creamy. A distinguished broken flake of red Virginia tobaccos, small leaf orientals, and a measure of Cyprus Latakia, spiced with velvety cigar wrapper leaf. Key Largo develops throughout the bowl, offering a satisfying and sturdy smoking experience, with beautifully balanced, richly textured layers of cocoa, dark roasted coffee, leather, and a lively, lingering finish. Available in 2oz tin only

Surprisingly, cigar leaf does give a nice Latakia laced blend a creamy sort of feel. I love Robusto. Robusto is probably my favorite of Pease’s blends, so I’m obviously anxious to see how this one works for me. Red Virginias and cigar leave make a nice combo - I know this becuase I’ve smoked enough McClelland’s Dominican Glory Maduro to be sure. Add the Latakia….

More later….I need to go get this on order.
