Distinct. Excellent.
July 27, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 2oz
Sweet, Smooth, Rich and Brisk are all good adjectives to use. Cigar leaf, Latakia, are easily discernible and in perfect proportion. The use of the cigar leaf allows this to be a heavier dry (at times) English blend while still being light on the Lat... Read More
akia. The Latakia is applied with real restraint to great results. It seems to have around as much as Chelsea morning does, but packs much more weight on its body. The tin art is god awful. It looks like something you’d see on a bundle of awful generic discount cigars. ‘Easy Miamis’ is a good name for them. Maybe they will change it but if not look past it and do your best not to let it give you any preconceptions. Highly recommend Read Less

Conflicted
September 03, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 2oz
Being a fan of the film by the same name, as well as a fan of Pease tobaccos, I bought a tin of this the minute I saw it advertised. When I started to smoke it I was delighted by the flavor but it frankly knocked me on my ass! I figured that was bec... Read More
ause I had only recently got back into smoking my pipe, and perhaps I needed a little more build up before I could appreciate it: so I put the tin away for a year and recently decided it was time to try it again. This time I smoked it in a Peterson system pipe with the P lip, and indeed the channeling of the smoke upward in my mouth revealed more of the wonderful flavor. But it still knocked me for a loop. A single bowl full of it took me a whole day to smoke, and each time I lit up I could manage barely a few puffs before I had to stop and recover. That is why I headed this review 'conflicted.' I love the flavor, I think it is a wonderful blend, but I am just too much a lightweight to handle it. Other tobaccos listed as stronger don't seem to phase me, but this one really sends me reeling.

makes me happy.
Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 2oz
Exceptional blend, the cigar leaf adds a robust flavor but does not overpower. Smooth, creamy and destined to become a classic.
Two pipe fulls too many.

Terrible tongue bite. Very large nicotine buzz, almost like a Cuban cigar. No thank you.
Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 2oz
Tasty and creamy. The Red Virginias really make this blend for me. I wish there was maybe a little more small leaf orientals, and a little less Latakia, but I'm still quite happy with it.
very nice!

Tin note of sweet smoky, spices, and tart fruit. Tobacco Broken Flakes are brown, light brown and black. Moisture seems a little high, recommend drying a bit. Rubs out nicely. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium to strong and... Read More
nic is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with complex notes of very earthy, cigar, dry wood, leather, mildly smoky, floral, mild herbal spices, mild sour lemon, spicy, mild cocoa powder, mild sweet grass background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is barely beating Cigar for to lead with Oriental and Latakia supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less
Funky Tin Art, but Excellent Smoke

Summer Blend #1

Surprisingly Sweet
May 13, 2022
Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 2oz
Too sweet for me. No earthy cigar taste at all. Lat hint fairly strong. Prefer Billy Budd to this. More sophisticated-ish than BB, also goes to say that BB is more masculine. Very soapy, you get a mild headache if you're not expecting it.
Edit: Tu... Read More
rns out my cheap briar was too wet the night before. Much better balance the day after, still soapy but not overwhelming, subtle nuances all around, very pleasantly creamy overall. Can taste the cigar leaf and the dark coffee as advertised. BB still the winner of the two due to simplicity, but if you like complex baccy, Key Largo is the one. Better aftertaste too. So delicious that you don't want to let go, no break needed unlike other stronger baccs. Comparison off top of my head: BB = Whiskey, KL = Cocktail.
Bottomline, wouldn't order again. It was a nice experience, but the freshness gets rather stale to the end. Read Less

This is like smoking a mild to medium Connecticut cigar. The cigar leaf is dominant and the Virginia’s add a nice sweetness. The orientals add some sour and the Latakia is in the background. Has a cigar like aftertaste, however much milder than if I ... Read More

Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 8oz
As its namesake hints at, Key Largo is truly lovely. It’s very much a cigar forward pipe blend, with the sweet Virginias and herbal Orientals enriching the creamy cigar wrapper. I find it full bodied enough to settle my pipe cravings for days. On ope... Read More
ning my first tin, I was met with a blast of air that rolled out smelling faintly of manure and strongly of fermented vegetation. After the initial waft, the tin note settled into a mild vinegary red Virginia (McClelland like) riding over a Cigar note. The flakes were intact but delicate, with a perfect moisture content, easily rubbed out and ready to smoke. Key Largo lights up on the first match, produces voluminous smoke and smokes a bit dry. Pairs well with coffee, expresso, whiskeys and rum.
In the pipe, the cigar is the lead of the show. Creamy, velvety, woodsy, earthy, full bodied and plenty of nicotine. The Virginia, bready, yeasty and sweet, supports, complementing the rich earthy, espresso cigar. The Oriental and Latakia work primarily in a small role, rarely coming to the forefront but enhancing the flavor profile of the leads. Key Largo is well balanced, reminding me of the smooth steady cigar note in Habana Daydream but slightly more dark and a level heavier. I’ve added this to my cellar list and bucket list. I need to get myself down to the Florida Keys if for no other reason than to enjoy the luxury of a beach and bowl at sunset.
The room note and aftertaste are lingering and may dampen social interaction yet I'm absolutely positive there are many a bachelor who will be inclined to choose this absolutely superb pipe tobacco as an all-day smoke! Read Less

얼씨함이 그렇게 나쁘게 느껴지진 않았습니다

Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 2oz

gle in a way that's not overbearing because of its smooth and sweet leathery earth. A very interesting blend that has a good punch to it and it wants you to think there is a rough edge only to not be the case. Its smooth and bold and full while tasting great and not harsh. It's pretty much what I've been looking for in a blend. I do not like cigars and the way they smell and was put off by the cigar leaf mentioned in the description however, this is a rich, flavorful smoke and the tin description is spot on. Try it and be ready for a blend not for the faint of heart, but heroism is not required to love. Read Less

Complex and good cigar blend
June 22, 2015
Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 2oz
There is nothing like a good cigar. This blend gives that cigar flavor and combines it with an English woody, smoky pipe tobacco. It can be bitter. But still gives that pleasant woody pipe flavor. This is one I keep in my pipe tobacco stash.

Good cigar blend
November 17, 2012
Product: G. L. Pease Key Largo 2oz
This is a good cigar blend, and very interesting as it develops as you go through the bowl. Starts gently but gets tougher. Tastes very rich and natural. However, as I am used to Billy Budd, I miss some more latakia here.
