Rich, smoky Cyprian Latakia and a variety of wonderful Oriental tobaccos set the stage for this blend. Lemon and Red Virginias provide support, while adding a hint of sweetness. Finally, just a touch of air cured leaf is added for a slightly fuller body. Caravan is full and exotic; rich and spicy. G. L. Pease's classic Balkan style blend with a special touch.

很理想的口味

Light, grassy and - yes - lemony leaves which burn smoothly and easily. The tobacco it contains is all Virginia and it is mildly flavored with Lemon and honey.

Tasty...with solid Lat/Oriental taste

Just had my first bowl of this blend... smoked in a (new to me!) meerschaum estate pipe from SmokingPipes. Nice cool smoke; about 2 hours with some relights. I'm not as perceptive on tastes as many of y'all. I found plenty of taste of dried fruits together with the smoky taste of the Latakia and the orientals. Loved it!...Read More

not my favorite.

Product: G. L. Pease Caravan 8oz

Tin note of smoky, stewed sour fruit, and mildly spicy. The light brown, brown and black ribbon cut is not too moist. No drying or prep needed. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of smoked spices, leather, wood, mildly sweet fruit, mild toasted nuts, mild lemon, mild bitter dry earth and a slightly peppery retro. The Cyprian latakia fighting Orientals for the lead, each supported at times by Burley or Virginia. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is not my favorite....Read More

Good and bad

Product: G. L. Pease Caravan 8oz

I’m really torn on this stuff. I got an 8 ounce tin. The first half was incredible. One of my favorite tacos ever. However, the second half was terrible. So terrible that it has been about a year and a half maybe two years and I still haven’t finished it or honestly even tried to. But the variance in taste was within a week. Tried switching pipes at no avail. I don’t know take that for what you will just hope you get the good half....Read More

A beautifully balanced oriental mixture

Another GL Pease blend which is made in a classic British style. The burly softens this and seems to give the latakia a cool faint sweetness. There is no heavy charcoal taste here.
When I read the term "balkan", I think Balkan Sobranie Original mixture.
And this DOES remind me of the 1980s version I knew well.
I dry this tobacco and smoke with 9mm filters.
So, this is quite cool smoking....Read More

Orientals Aplenty

Product: G. L. Pease Caravan 2oz

Tangy, citrusy, lightly smoky, fragrant, and complex. I don't really know how to put it into words, but if you love orientals, you will absolutely love Caravan.

Turkish show

Very nice. G. L Pease never let's you down. Another fine blend. From the wonderful smokey tin note to the complex, smokey, nutty, woodsy, herbal, floral pipe experience, this is a showcase of Oriental tobacco. Remember, Latakia is fire cured Oriental leaf. The spice from the Izmir (my guess on what type of Oriental leaf) and smokeness from the Latakia grab you and spin you off your feet almost simultaneously on light up. If I was smoking this in a blind taste I would have attribute the spice and fruitiness to Perique. Definitely a winner. Very similar to Westminster with a bit heavier mouth feel....Read More

I have found this tobacco to be one of my all time favorites. It's consistent through many tins. I like the medium body and full flavor. Easily smokable all day.

One of the Best

Just finished the last of my 2012 stock. Campfire and leather. Then smoked meat and cheese. Then mulled wine and spice cakes. Then an elderberry brandy. Every bowl is a vacation in the Carpathians.

Not for me, thank you

I am afraid I am having to disagree with the more favorable reviews of this blend by Mr Pease. To my palate, Caravan remains harsh to the point of being unsmokeable. I have tried many a different bowl and day but the negative traits of this mixture remain essentially the same. The flavour is harsh - perhaps the right metaphor is shrill - and the overall experience rather unpleasant. I hope to find better offerings among Mr Pease's impressive line up. This Caravan, I let pass....Read More
