About This Pipe Tobacco

Sextant from G. L. Pease is a classic mixture harmoniously married to a Navy flake. Ripe Virginia tobaccos are first blended with Cypriot Latakia, fine Orientals, and a touch of dark-fired Kentucky leaf, then infused with a hint of dark rum before being gently pressed, matured, and sliced. The flavour is rich, bold and satisfying; the aroma an enchanting interweaving of traditions.

My guess is the more adventurous English smoker will love this blend, and the Navy Flake bunch will not. Ever smoke a traditional English or Balkan, and ask yourself if it wouldn’t taste better with a little Dark Fired and sweet rum topping? Then this is for you. A sensitive Virginia smoker who likes subtle tastes and flavors, each perfectly balanced? The blend isn’t for you. Very smoky, with the addition of Dark Fired to the Lat. Contrary to one review, the orientals come shining through for me, and the strong rum sweetness makes it unlike any other English. It does, however, along with the smoke, overshadow the Virginias, making them body and burn more than flavor. If you don’t have to taste the Virginias in your English blend, this is a strong, rich, deep, flavorful and new take on tradition. Dinged half a star for a slight lack of complexity....Read More

From the tin note to the retro hale this blend does not miss a beat.

One of the innate pleasures unique to pipe smoking is the relaxing calm & welcome contemplativeness it brings to a restless mind. A comfortable pipe and certain blends, especially Sextant, somehow magically take me there from first puff: soft, creamy, leathery, smoky, sweet, with a fine gentle spice, Sextant graciously provides that elusive Zen I constantly seek. A sure blessing in every pipeful....Read More
Not my tobacco

Product: G. L. Pease Sextant 2oz
Well mates this Sextant here is no Francis Drake’s “Golden Hind” or even Captain Blood’s “Arabella”. Personally I blame Rum toping. It applied skillfully of course and it does provide sweetness. Also, with noticeable exception of Latakia, it diminishes tastes of the components and actually fuse them into single one. No matter what pipe I used I really couldn’t distinguish Kentucky, Orientals, and Virginias. What I get is a somewhat sweet, not unpleasant, tobacco taste shadowed by strong Latakia presence. I had no problem smoking it but also didn’t find it to be of particular interest. Therefore, on this particular exploration Captain Pease will have to go on without this old sailor. Will not buy this blend again....Read More

Tin note of sweet and smoky with a little spice. The multiple shades of brown Broken Flakes rub out easily. Tobacco is damp and may need a little drying. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is medium. Flavoring is mild, with notes of sweet rum. Taste is full and consistent, with complex notes of smoky, herbal spices, musty wood, floral, dry earth, mild tangy sour, sweet grass, mild orange bitter, toasted bread, spicy, mild tart dark fruit, a sweet nutty background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is barely leading the Virginias with Oriental/Turkish supporting. Kentucky is providing support where needed. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More
