Pretty Good

October 19, 2024

Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz

The more I smoke it the more I like it. It's a latakia lover's blend. Plenty of body, not too much nicotine. Virginias are sweet and dark, orientals are spicy, and latakia is smokey and incensey. What's not to like? Well, if you like your flavors to sort of alternate throughout the bowl, you may not be best served by Abingdon. It's something of a one-note wonder, dominated by latakia the whole way through. It doesn't change or develop much. Overall, it's pretty good. Just not as good as Westminster. I guess there's a reason Westminster gets a 16oz tin and Abingdon doesn't. The people have spoken....Read More

Absolutely amazing!

Abingdon is tied with Balkan Supreme as my absolute favorite Balkan blends. I'm a Balkan lover, and have tried every Balkan I can get my hands on. The amount of Oriental spice and Latakia smokiness here is absolute perfection. Standard English blends are genuinely more Latakia forward. Balkan style English blends generally more Oriental forward, which give you that delicious spice I love so much. But with Abingdon, the Latakia & orientals seems to be in perfect tandem with one-another. I've tried a lot of Balkan blends, and most don't hold a candle to Abingdon in my opinion. If you like Balkans, or are curious about them, pick up a tin of this stuff!...Read More

Abingdon, for such a full-flavored

April 28, 2024

Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz

FINALLY I've found the right Pease blend for me, in Abingdon. Warrants a category higher than "highly recommended" Perhaps "enthusiastically" or "fanitically". Burns very slow, cool, clean, smooth and a little creamy with a mostly consistent flavor (gets less sweet near the finish), and won’t bite or get harsh....Read More

My Daily Favorite

Abington has quickly become my go to blend. Abingdon is not too strong, not too mild, just right, an all day smoke. I particularly enjoy the floral/citrus notes on the retrohale.

This is my favorite Balkan blend. If I'm being honest it is my favorite all-time blend. Fresh out of the tin it is immaculate. A year cellared, it's somehow even more immaculate. It's the Goldilocks of Balkans. Spicy, earthy, sweet, creamy, rich, smoky, savory. Gregory Pease is a Magician with a grimoire full of perfect blends. This is his Love Potion #9. Sobranie is a penny compared to Abingdon's Silver Dollar...Read More

Tin note of smoke and spiced wine. The very thin ribbon cut is brown, black and tan. Tobacco is moist but not dry, no prep or drying needed. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of very spicy, moderately smoky, musty woody, earth, floral, mild ripe fruit, herbal spices, bread, mild lemon grass, and a moderately peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Oriental/Turkish supporting the best they can. Virginias are lollygagging around in the background. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

One of my first blends.

I've been smoking pipes for about 20 yrs and one of my first blends was Abingdon. I was new to pipe smoking and loved the blend so I bought a lot of it. As is the way of pipes I began trying a lot of other blends and have had many favorites. Somewhere along the way I stopped smoking Abingdon.....until recently. I have 10 tins that have about 15 yrs or so on them and I figured I'd go see what they had become. Well, where I had expected a dead smoke I found a really lovely balanced smooth english that I am just crazy about. Perhaps a little less latakia forward than in its youth, maybe more of an oriental feel to it. But really delicious. So don't be afraid to let this one sit for a while. It does really well with age. My opinion of course.........Read More
