About This Pipe Tobacco
The second entry in master blender Greg Pease's Zeitgeist Collection, géométrie is a strikingly modernist reinterpretation of traditional Virginia/Oriental mixtures. Aged Red Virginias artfully layer with and accentuate vintage Basma and Izmir leaf, reinvigorating the Virginia/Oriental archetype in an elegantly pressed, plug-cut format. It offers considerable aging potential and a deep, matured flavor right out of the tin: Notes of freshly baked goods overlap planes of subtle spice; rich, malty sweetness; and a hint of floral zest on the palate. Captivating, expertly balanced, and inventive, géométrie captures the artistic vision behind Pease's Zeitgeist Collection.
About the Zeitgeist Collection: The Zeitgeist Collection is a pipe tobacco series from Gregory Pease that pays tribute to the avant-garde and rebellious themes of the modern era. Each carefully formulated pipe tobacco in this series evokes the spirit of a particular location, time period, or cultural milieu. This mixture, géométrie, is a nod to early Cubist paintings and sculptures and the artists, like Picasso and Braque, who pioneered the intrepid movement, with the tin depicting an abstract, Cubist design milieu that incorporates crisp, geometric patterns and vibrant colors.
Customer Reviews
There's a common gripe in my reviews of these VA blends. Where's the nicotine? The flavor, cut, and room note are each pretty good. Above average.
But it's quickly forgotten by the bowl of Old Joe Krantz I have soon after. Geometrie couldn't scratch my itch even if it was Mr Fantastic with a back scratcher. Good blend, but way too weak....Read More
The blend itself is simply more red-virginia and oriental leaf from C&D,
which I found to be uninteresting.
I tried smoking it 4 or 5 times over a two month period and eventually tossed it in the trash. This is because life is simply too short to waste time and effort cutting pieces from dense plugs of tobacco....Read More
Smoke with the right amount of nicotine. The tin note was really pleasant and it will take a bit of smoking to fully appreciate what it has to offer.
