A selection of fine, ripe Virginia tobaccos is enhanced with the perfect measure of Maduro cigar leaf to provide an alluring spice, the suggestion of the richness of a great cigar, and a creamy smoke. A little Cyprian Latakia adds roundness and smooths the edges, while fine Oriental tobaccos fill in the gaps. Complex and full flavored, yet very gentle on the tongue, Pease's Robusto is perfect with afternoon coffee, as a delicious finish to a wonderful meal, or as a stout companion throughout the day.
Not just a great tobacco but one of the all time great tobaccos - equal to or better than the best of Dunhill or Sobranie thirty years ago (I smoked most of them then and really loved some). It is a traditional English with some cigar leaf giving com... Read Moreplexity, depth, balance and elegance. Smokes slightly dry rather than sweet at just over medium strength - taste most resembles one of the top Sobranies (Directors' Reserve Ready Rubbed in UK) but impact and complexity exceeds even that lovely tobacco from around 30 years ago. Through the bowl Robusto evokes varying levels of coco, nuts and coffee balanced by raspberries and dry plums. Improves dramatically with age up to at least eighteen months. Great but also friendly - a jolly good smoke at any and every time of day. Read Less
The tin note is a wonderful bouquet of earthy fruits and gentle smoky campfires. The Virginias add a bit of spice as well as a small sweetness, especially when smoked at a slow pace. The orientals round this blend well as they come into play about ... Read Moremid-bowl. The cigar leaf is ever present but not overpowering. Smoke this at a slow to moderate pace and it is a great afternoon or evening smoke. If you smoke it at a moderate to slightly fast rate, the cigar leaf tends to take the forefront. This blend is one that I will always have in my cellar. I do enjoy a mild cigar, from time to time but I find that this blend fills that niche nicely. I always get comments from folks stating "Wow, that pipe smells great!" The aftertaste will linger for a while but is pleasant. It burns reliably with few relights and as one would expect, a nice gray ash is left in the bowl with minimal moisture. It does cellar well and gets better with age. Read Less

The first few smokes left me in doubt, but this stuff grew on me quickly and strongly, leaving it on my favorites list to stay.
