Pegasus 8oz Pipe Tobacco

There’s a website called Tobacco Reviews and if you track down Pegasus, Runowski talks at length about this blend…his creation. He goes so far as to suggest a deep narrow bowl as the ideal for smoking it. I’d tried it in the past with mixed feelings but after hearing what he had to say, I started all over. I grabbed a favorite Savinelli Spring 614 and loaded up using conventional packing technique and lit up…a charring light that I let die before a light swirling tamp and relight. I spent over an hour smoking it to the bottom and relit several times as I didn’t feel like hurrying through this delicious Burley blend. I concluded that I’d hit on the right combination and enjoyed several relights, each tastier than the last. I’ve been trying to find something that beat some old favorites like PA of which there are no substitutes…I’ve been a pipe smoker for over 50 years and have smoked more different blends than I can recall but always lean towards Burleys as I enjoy the depth of flavor and ease of smoking them…if you do it right, they don’t bite thus, Take your time…Pegasus showcases Runowskis knowledge of building a good blend and how to smoke it for best effect. A rich flavorful taste with depth and jus the right strength to satisfy. At 78 I suppose I’m a true codger but good Burley blends are good smoking and worth your time so Take your time and enjoy this one....Read More

This one is the blend where true art of Master Blender is demonstrated to all. I thoroughly enjoyed this blend though wouldn’t call myself Burley connoisseur.
Burley takes the main stage providing its usual nutty taste with a touch of bitterness, not unpleasant one I have to add. Virginias and Cavendish take the back stage providing some additional taste and sweetness while smoothing down typical Burley harshness rather well. Blend is exceptionally well balanced.
IMHO it tastes best in large briar pipes. I have especially enjoyed it in my extra-large Northern Briars Poker.
A truly excellent blend which I intend to add to Irish Flake as part of my Burley rotation....Read More

I bought this after having Haunted Bookshop. I like this better. Easier for me to smoke.

If you like thick and creamy burley smoke, this is for you.

This is a great smoke. There's nothing that will grab your attention here. It's simple, honest tobacco. It burns cool, produces billows of smoke easily, and tastes good. An excellent beginner blend, a great all-dayer for anyone who likes the flavor of tobacco.
