Meridian, from G. L. Pease, is balanced, poised and sophisticated. Cyprus Latakia is layered with fine Virginia tobaccos and small leaf orientals, then pressed, sliced, and tumbled into ribbons. More savory than sweet, with classic structure, medium body, and captivating complexity. Meridian is the perfect companion for a mid-day stroll, or with the afternoon tea.

An awesome “activity blend”

December 19, 2024

By: Chase G.

Product: G. L. Pease Meridian 2oz

A newly found appreciation for GL Pease tobaccos, after being gifted a nice 4 year aged tin of Maltese Falcon, has led me to Meridian. As a big English blends guy I decided to work my way through the old London series and started with Chelsea Morning and quiet nights, both fantastic. Third up was Meridian. At first, I was mildly disappointed in the lack of personality as I smoked my first bowl. Re reading the tin and noticing that perique was not listed as a component and that made sense in what I was tasting. However as I continued to smoke through the tin I started reaching for it more and more. I started to realize that I enjoy this blend better, and even feel like I taste it better, when I’m focused on something else other than just smoking the leaf.
Driving with this blend is perfect, walking with this blend is perfect, the best yet has been sitting in a kayak watching the sunrise from a nearby lake with this blend in hand, has also been perfect.

It’s got just enough of what I need to compliment life and nothing too much to distract me from it.

It’s got a soft smoke that makes an early morning smoke easy and an afternoon relaxing. The taste is incredibly balanced and the blend doesn’t change too much from beginning to end of the bowl....Read More

Light, grassy and - yes - lemony leaves which burn smoothly and easily. The tobacco it contains is all Virginia and it is mildly flavored with Lemon and honey.

G.L Pease is growing on me fast. Quiet Evening is a chart topping favorite. I ordered some Meridian, and boy am I glad I did. Perfect amount of smoky Latakia, with the Virginia making its presence known every so often, and the orientals tying the two together nicely. I simply can’t stop picking it up. Great smoke all around. Definitely adding to the starting lineup....Read More

Excellent, One of the Best from G.L. Pease

A great English blend but unlike any I have ever tried. Perhaps a bit like the Drew Estate Meatpie blend but I haven't had a taste of that in many years. The description says it all, "more savory than sweet," and it isn't wrong. The flavor is excellent, spicy and robust but also mild, without the overwhelming smokiness you get from some English blends. I find the flavor to be well balanced and immediately satisfying. Order an 8oz tin because you won't be disappointed....Read More

good to go.

Tin note of mild smoke, mild tart fruit and dirt. Tobacco broken flakes are dark brown with a little tan. Tobacco is somewhat dry, rubbing out is easy. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of dry earth, musty wood, herbal spices, hay, bread, lemon zest, spicy, mild tart dark fruit, mildly smoky, mild creamy-sweet background note, and a peppery retro. Orientals are leading with Virginias supporting. Latakia is lounging in the back. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good....Read More

A favorite

Very nice English blend. Smokey, leathery, and a little spice/floral from the Orientals. Not overpowering with the latakia, but you'll definitely notice it's presence. Virginia gives it a hint of fruity/tangyness, but it's not an overly sweet blend (more savory as the description says). No bite. I did have to relight a bit more than average, probably due to not giving it enough dry time. Highly recommended for any pipe smoker....Read More

Nice Balkan Style

Product: G. L. Pease Meridian 2oz

My impressions as I smoke it. Very good flavor, touch of citrus, touch of smokeyness, touch of sweetness, and the flavors seem to enhance the overall flavor. I look for good balance between tobaccos and this doesn't favor one over the other. I really enjoy this as the Latakia and orientals are very well blended with the Virginia. One reviewer noted this as a Gentleman's Balkan/English and I could not agree more. My new daily blend....Read More

Goldilocks

Product: G. L. Pease Meridian 8oz

A medium strength high quality Balkan style blend. After letting it sit for a couple of years it has Continued to mature its flavor profile into uniqueness. I have found this to be a thinking person's smoke. Lots to unpack. Still in the orbit of Goldilocks status. stratified layers of singular flavors wrapped in a fragrant balkan-y package. I used to love the McClelland 😢Balkans like Balkan Beauty or Balkan Blue and have been searching for replacements over the years. Meridian has slightly more Latakia but still contains it behind the orientals so is not to spoil but enhance and direct how the orientals bloom. if GL Pease were ever to visit my house he would see a picture of him on the wall next to the Pope 😁...Read More

Impressive!

Have I found an English blend that I like more than Samarra or Plantation Evening?! I think I very well may have. I'm smoking a bowl of this right now and am enjoying it immensely. I have to say, this is a bit of a sleeper hit for me. I have seen or read many reviews of Chelsea Morning and Quiet Nights on sites and on YouTube, but this blend is very neglected. At initial the initial light, I'm hit with latakia and sour orientals. Once Meridian gets going, however, I can taste all components of this tobacco; the slightly sweet, but bready Virginias, the sweet, sour, and buttery orientals, and the smoky, pungent latakia in the rear. The constituents dance around in this mixture, but never meld so much that I can't tell what's in it. The latakia is always present, but never overwhelms and is supported by the orientals at all times. This is a sour blend, but it is well tempered by semi-sweetness and smokiness at all times. There is a hint of creosote/tar flavor from the oily latakia, but it's always pleasant. Is there a topping? It's very faint, but I think I might taste one. Meridian is definitely a great all-day smoke and I have smoked three bowls almost back-to-back today. It's a welcome mid-range speaker that is a great change of pace from my usual woofers. I was a little reluctant to purchase it, due to it not getting much attention, but I am more than happy that I did. I swear fealty to the Dark Lord. I am ashamed of my doubt!...Read More
