For G. L Pease's Embarcadero, red Virginia tobaccos are deftly combined with just the right amount of choice Izmir leaf, then pressed and aged in cakes before being sliced into flakes. The result is a richly flavored and harmonious natural tobacco blend, as comfortable as an old pair of jeans, but with a delightful complexity to engage those who choose to explore its depths. The Orientals provide an elusive spice, while the Virginias deliver substance and body. A unique and thoroughly satisfying blend.

Really good Oriental

October 27, 2024

By: arp4257

Product: G. L. Pease Embarcadero 2oz

It is rather very good oriental blend. I really enjoy Virginias in this blend. Red Virginias produce its classical dark, very slightly sweet overtones. Izmir, in support, produces a lot of spice and taste of earthiness with element of bitterness. The end result is not sweet at all but entirely satisfying. The blend should be of interest both to lovers of oriental leaf as well as VaPer. The blend is pipe dependent. It tastes the best in large thick walled briar pipes IMHO. The interplay between Virginia and Turkish in this blend is not nearly as sophisticated as for example in Skiff, Ashbury, and Chelsea Morning. On other hand your old school friend doesn’t need to be overly sophisticated to bring delight with his presence. I have been smoking this blend for years and plan to continue doing so in foreseen future....Read More

Perfect For Cigarette Smokers

I'm an Oriental tobacco fanatic--especially when it shines in a superior Balkan style blend. This one reminds me of a Camel cigarette, but with a lot of quality flavor. If you are a former cigarette smoker, moving over to pipes for health reasons (not inhaling), this might be the perfect blend for you. I smoked Camel when I was young and the Turkish really pops in this blend....Read More

nice change of pace

Tin note of Rasins, spices, and hay. The reddish-brown broken flakes have a small amount of tan. It's not moist enough to need drying, larger chunks rub out easily. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and somewhat consistent, with notes of strong earth, strong wood, strong herbal spices, dried tart fruit, roasted nuts, bread, floral, mild bitter burnt toast, mild lemon grass, mild cigarette, and a slight peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Izmir supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good....Read More

Pleasant Blend for Summertime

June 28, 2022

By: Blake R.

Product: G. L. Pease Embarcadero 2oz

When it gets hot I gravitate toward the Virginia blends and flakes. The tin was dated 11/21. Tin note was pleasant, so I packed a bowl, and let it sit overnight. About mid bowl the complexity and harmony really come together. Not too spicy for medium sipping. Last third of bowl transforms, and is super deeelicious. Gotta love the honeysuckle spicy bread notes, which is leaving me wanting more. Need to stock up. My G.L. Pease cabinet is loaded already too....Read More

Perfect with Coffee

Embarcadero... a bowl of this is a journey! At the charing light you set sail from port Virginia, the red's are way out front initially, taking all the attention, sweet, grassy, bready, and mildly zesty. By midbowl a full nutty, earthy flavor from the Izmir reaches parity with the Virginia's. By the end of the bowl you're coming into dock at camp Izmir. The air is musty, deeper and earthy, a burley-esque type affair that is full bodied and satisfying. Perfect on a summer evening and equally apropo on a cold winter morning. Pairs well with coffee. A few relights. No bite....Read More

Gotta get some more of this

May 23, 2021

Product: G. L. Pease Embarcadero 2oz

GL Pease's Fog City Series has become a "Murderer's Row" for me, with each blend earning a spot in my lineup. Embarcadero is a little different from the VaPer offerings in this series (Fillmore, Telegraph Hill) in being a Virginia-Turkish blend. Where the perique-spiked blends offer some peppery spice, Embarcadero offers a more heady, almost floral edge for the Virginias that I miss already. I will get more....Read More

Fog City Series for the Win!

May 20, 2021

Product: G. L. Pease Embarcadero 2oz

I have really enjoyed making my way through all of the matured Virginias and VaPers in the Fog City Series from GL Pease. Each one is a home run. And Embarcadero is too. Rather than its VaPer cousins, for this one he combines that tangy Virginia base with Izmir Oriental leaf. And the result is a slightly lighter, even floral, entry into this series. The Virginia is nicely complemented by the Izmir, and you get the tang and the nice oriental aroma in one blend. Love it....Read More

So-so

The Red Virginia doesn't come through as strong as I would prefer. The Orientals don't add much for me, either. Interesting to try, but I doubt I'll revisit this blend after the tin is gone.

An Excellent Choice

This is one of the best Virginia/Oriental blends out there, in my opinion. I am a huge fan of Temple Bar and this, though similar, scratches a bit of a different itch. Often, While smoking, I wonder if there is not just a bit of Perique in it. No matter. It's superb tobacco.
