Perfectly Balanced
July 10, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Kensington 2oz
Bought this based off the Smoking Pipes series exploring Pease's blends. I recently returned to pipe smoking after smoking very sparingly over the past 18 months or so, and I find I enjoy blends that are more judicious in the Latakia than the bombs I... Read More
preferred previously. This is a textbook example. The Latakia content in this blend doesn't seem particularly light or heavy. It's a perfect medium where it plays its role without showing up the other components. Overall, I find this blend more dry than sweet. I've never had a blend that better fits the Medium English label more perfectly. This blend can be enjoyed at any time of day except for when one wishes for a bit more nicotine. It's a beautiful thing when expert blending and quality ingredients come together like this. Highly recommended. Read Less
Very good

Product: G. L. Pease Kensington 2oz
Kensington is a great blend, I'm glad I tried it. I would compare it to Pease's Westminster, which is 1 of 5 Pease blends in my rotation. In Kensington I taste a lighter than usual latakia portion and for that reason I'll keep some handy. Some days I... Read More
need my English blends but it's too darn hot out, this blend seems to work for those occasions. Read Less
Smokey & Spicey
January 02, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Kensington 2oz
Delicious and smokey on the light up, the Cyprian Latakia and Oriental are very prominent but the bright and red Virginia quickly join in with a bready, zesty twang. I get a lot of Oriental spice on the edge of my tongue with this blend. The Orienta... Read More
l and Latakia kick up quite a strong smokey, spicey, woody, espresso note but never reach the smokey blast of a lat bomb. I'd call it a medium/full blend rather than light/medium. Read Less
Nice Balkan

Product: G. L. Pease Kensington 2oz
Nothing to add, just a really nice Balkan that's easy to smoke.
Product: G. L. Pease Kensington 2oz
Another high quality tobacco from Pease, in the style of an early morning smoke. Personally I find this one a little too light in taste, and it doesn't produce the high volume of smoke I prefer.

I smoke tons of different blends. I keep coming back to Kensington. It has become my baseline by which I judge all other blends. I don't know... it just feels like home.

tected. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of earth, lemon grass, tangy spices, mild sweet dark fruit, smoky, bitter dry wood, floral, and a moderately spicy retro. Virginias is leading with Orientals supporting. Latakia is supporting from afar. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good. Read Less
