G. L. Pease: Cairo 8oz Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-029-0022
Cairo is a wonderfully complex mixture of Red, Orange and bright Virginia tobaccos, exotic Oriental leaf, and just a whisper of Perique. The flavor is naturally sweet, slightly nutty, delicately spicy and rich. Subtle citrus-like notes harmoniously support the more robust flavors of the darker Virginias. A medium-bodied tobacco with a delicate aroma, Cairo will satisfy Virginia lovers and the connoisseur of Oriental mixtures alike.

notes of wood, dry earthy, raisin, herbal spices, floral, spicy, mild smoky, musty grass, mild sour lemon, a sweet bread background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading with Virginias supporting. Perique comes and goes as it wishes. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good....Read More

he nostrils with peppery spice and grassy sweetness. The tobacco itself is a typical ribbon cut with appropriate levels of moisture. Packing this tobacco is simple, and I found myself not having to relight it too often, though it can burn slightly hot if pushed recklessly.
But this is no blend to enjoy recklessly. At first, this blend reminded me other VaPers in Pease's lineup, particularly their "Stratford" blend. Like that blend, there are lot of bright and red Virginias and touches of Perique. What sets it apart are, naturally enough, the Orientals. In addition to the traditional bright and slightly citrusy lemon flavors of the Virginias and the peppery notes of the Perique, the Orientals add additional smokiness and a more seasoned sweetness; the taste of cloves are omnipresent, but cinnamon and nuts also leave their imprint on the palate. When all things work in unison, and by and large they do, this proves to be a very enjoyable and zesty blend with some punch. The first two-thirds of the bowl in particular shine, but I find the last third tends to give way to a more ashy and sometimes overwhelmingly peppery profile. Not always, but often enough.
Despite the flaws, Cairo is a blend very much worth trying, especially those who relish a spicy VaPer and are looking for a unique twist to an old favorite....Read More

ets you with a wonderful tangy almost sour notes. Right behind it is bready, somewhat spiced notes and of course some smokiness that i gather from the Perique. this is just a fun lively blend that is satisfying and just a pleasure. not strong, feels like i can go all day with this blend. Very Solid and would recommend to everyone...Read More

er. It may be simply due to trying this blend in the Fall but it does come off as a “Fall” blend for me, possibly in light to the cinnamon notes.
Smokes wonderfully in a poker, like my Ashton 220. Has a lot of similarity to We Three Kings without the topping of that blend. And I think it speaks of the natural flavors of WTK. The Virginas and Orientals are well balanced. 8.8/10
