About This Pipe Tobacco
Metropolis Flake marks the fifth release in G. L. Pease's celebrated Zeitgeist series — a refined English flake crafted with layered complexity. Matured Bright and Red Virginias form the foundation, offering a natural sweetness. Italian Dark-Fired and semi-fired Kentucky introduce a savory richness beneath the surface, while St. James Perique lends a measured peppery character. A touch of Turkish Latakia threads through the blend with soft, earthy depth. Together, these tobaccos unfold in harmonious layers, delivering a contemplative smoke that is complex, yet balanced.

Mr. Pease:
You are a true master blender, this is another home run. I don’t know how you do it, but keep on doing it. The only issue I have is I can’t get enough of it. Hats off to you.

Intriguingly Floral and Smoky

akia. Perique is like the bitters that stitches them all together. You keep puffing because there is so much to explore in its complexity. It's a little hard to pin down which makes it intriguing if not a little irritating (in a good way).
Interesting that this classifies as English because it smokes like a Virginia blend. I'm smoking it in a briar wondering if I should have picked up the cob. Tastes best and sweetest if you can keep the pipe cool.
It leaves a dry spicy aftertaste where I prefer something a little creamier. If you like quiet nights, I bet you would like this as a Virginia forward alternative. It's a well composed blend with strong identity that will no doubt establish itself as a favorite for some. It's not my favorite, but I'm excited to try it again after it ages a bit....Read More

ale and towards the bottom of the bowl with supporting spice. overall smooth and soft as cashmere; even the flake feels soft and fluffy. smoked out of a 1932 dunhill patent billiard, as it seemed appropriate for the blend inspiration. another one that i plan to cellar, but will have a hard time keeping my hands off....Read More

Hard to categorize and extremely interesting

supporting flavors are constantly moving between baking spices, a little pepper, and occasional sweet notes that come and go.
The one thing that stays consistent for me is a distinct floral quality along with a tangy, almost zesty character that keeps the blend engaging from the first light to the bottom of the bowl. Every few puffs I seem to pick up something a little different.
Given the Virginia-heavy composition, I think this blend has excellent aging potential and should become even more interesting with a few years in the cellar.
If you’re a fan of lightly peated, floral Scotch, there’s a good chance you’ll appreciate what Metropolis brings to the table. It’s a unique blend that’s well worth trying....Read More

Spicy young thing

Relatively strong right from the start. Unusual for a GLP blend, this one taste young to me. Rough edges. I bought 3 tins . 2 will sit for 5 years. Overall the blend, recreates a similar experience to oriental forward blends, with perique to further advance the pepper aspects.
