Well balanced
February 21, 2016
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
I found this to be a well balanced tobacco with the flavours of it progressing as you go. Looking forward to putting this on my regular rotation
Good English

Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
This is a very tasty mild English blend. I would recommend this for fans of English blends. But it is on the milder side of some other blends.
Favorite Balkan
March 17, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
This is one of my all time favorite blends. Always satisfying with it's rich, sharp and clear flavors, but some roundness. There is nothing thin about the flavor. It's balanced but with highs and lows. You could say it's a Lat bomb but on a different... Read More
day, a different pipe you could say it's oriental forward. It seems to make a statement on all flavors; sour, bitter, savory, with pops of sweetness (a trick of Mr. Pease is the little birds eye shaped snips of Virginia flake-Union Square?) and on re-lights some hint of salt and a great oriental spiciness. I happen to like or love a lot of G.L.P. blends -Quiet Nights, Abingdon, Gas Light and Key Largo (once I figured out how to make it stop biting) in the love category and might go for a month before I get around to this blend (I like a large rotation), but every time I light up a bowl of this I wonder why I waited so long.

Being a fan of Blue Mountain, I do enjoy a good Balkan. Perhaps more than I enjoy anything else. The addition of Virgina leaf make this appear much lighter than Blue Mountain, but make no mistake, it is every bit as good. Almost. Very smokey, and spi... Read More
cy. I think if your looking for a really top notch Balkan, you won't go wrong with this. Read Less
What Nightcap should be
January 30, 2023
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 8oz
Back when I was introduced to the YouTube Pipe Community, I saw multiple videos exclaiming how stout and strong Dunhill Nightcap was. When I finally tried it, while I thought it was decent, it seemed pretty middle of the road. Of course, I think my e... Read More
arly love affair with Billy Bud had something to do with it.
Anyways, I’m supposed to be talking about Charing Cross.
I bought an 8oz tin of this stuff and it struck me as an English blend for a man’s man. I cellared two jars of the stuff back in 2014 and just recently cracked one back open.
This reminds of GL Pease’s Odyssey but more oriental forward. Like makes your mouth tingle level of orientals.
I don’t enjoy Latakia like I did as a novice pipe smoker, but when the mood takes me, I load this up on my biggest stoutest pipe a float off to Neverland. Read Less
good to go.

Tin note of tart fruit, smoky, and mildly sour. Tobacco is dark brown, black and a little tan. Cut is a mix of fat ribbon and course cut. Tobacco moisture is good, no prep or drying needed. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and n... Read More
ic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with complex notes of very spicy, very musty dry earth, herbal spice, very woody, sour citrus, smokey, floral, bread, tangy dark fruit, a sweet grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading with Virginias supporting a little more than Latakia. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less
Just very good

Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
Rich and satisfying smoke. For me a close second behind Quiet Nights. This is delightful.
Classic Style
March 15, 2022
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
The fresh smoke character of the Latakia is the same here as Westminster.
Unlike Westminster this has an underlying malty sweetness which makes it unique. Made in the classic British style of vintage Dunhill, Sobranie and others, but not reminiscen... Read More
t of any particular classic mixture.
The latakia is very fresh, and a few years of age might soften that. Still tire easily of the dominant , heavy smoke character of the Latakia used in these blends. Tin age was 6 months. Read Less
Good Solid Smoke

Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
This is the reason I lean towards English blends. From light up to final puff, C.C. delivers. Great English. Great Blend. Great smoke.
Just don't get it.

Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
Looks yummy in the jar and the Tin note is like smokey BBQ but the taste of this burning reminds me of standing down wind of my end of year Hop and construction lumber burn pile.
Smokey to the point of almost making me sick. Going to Jar this up an... Read More

Not quite a Balkan
May 08, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
Although they call it a Balkan, I don't think that it's quite there. Not quite enough spice.
But a Very Good English, why yes it most certainly is.
A Perfectly Rounded Tobacco
March 23, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
This is one of the best English mixtures I have ever experienced The constituent tobaccos each play a part in the harmonious whole. It burns cool and relighting is average. My current favorite English blend. Recommended.
A gentle giant.

This is a bold smoke. I’m taken away by so much flavor but none of it tries to fight you. This is a full comfortable smoke. Very well done.
Weak and faint Latakia Blend.
December 26, 2016
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
A typical English mixture. Basically a successful Latakia-forward blending. Sadly, far too faint. After lighting the pipe, all tobaccos in this blend start to deploy. Unfortunately they stop half way, making a good mixture weak and faint.
Not bad at all! Milder than BlackPoint
February 06, 2016
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
Nice bit of smokiness, mild Latikia, good cooling effect, perfect afternoon smoke.
Not strong at all, milder than BlackPoint, the flavor and strength develope as you smoke it, towards the end of the bowl.
As always, a great blend from Master Pease!... Read More

Another great smoke!!!
September 30, 2014
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
Charing Cross is an awesome blend that stablishes a great dialogue between those great Pease´s virginias and latakia, while orientals sing wonderful notes from the background. I find this one not stronger or bolder than Blackpoint, just different. I ... Read More
