Both Epic and Mythological
August 16, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
GLP’s Odyssey blend is aptly named. The blend is heavily laden with smoky Latakia, much like the great and god-like Odysseus was much laden with sorrows from his wanderings. In fact, I chose this blend because I am a fan of Homer’s epic myths. I thin... Read More

The “Dark Lord” Strikes Again
November 12, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
If you’re a lover of Latakia like me and Mr. Pease, you should give Oddyssey a try. Big flavor in this one. Odyssey is a very bold and full-bodied blend loaded with the dark leaf. However, the Latakia is expertly balanced by wonderful Orientals and t... Read More
he spicyness is offset by some very flavorful, sweet red and stoved black Virginias. The result is a remarkable depth of flavor. The blend is savory and complex, full of subtle nuances. Billowing clouds of savory, sweet, smoky goodness with a very pleasant aroma. Good stuff. Read Less
My mid-blend

A bit stronger than the Nightcap, but without the cigar room note of Billy Budd. I enjoy this one to,relax a bit before I head out for the evening. Good stuff!
浓郁的烤面包风味
September 05, 2022
Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
开盒后能闻见一股浓浓的L草的皮革味道,但是皮革味后就是一股酸黄瓜味道。烟草是丝带的切割整体看上去黑色占比比较多,采用的LOV我最喜欢的搭配方式,烟草湿度不大,开盒后就能直接装斗,斗温不高可以使用斗钵较深的烟斗进行抽吸。
点火时非常顺畅,除了点火时带来的浓烈的L草风味外,就一直是果脯的酸甜味道,非常出乎我的意料,几乎整个前段都没有出现L草的皮革烟熏味。偶尔会有O草的烤面包的焦香味,烟气过鼻无刺激,非常顺滑,
到了中段,O草的味道慢慢的出来了,并且逐渐占领了主线,但是一直没找到L草的味道,浓郁的烤面... Read More
包焦香让人非常舒服,烟气慢慢过鼻能捕捉到类似手串的木质香味。并且燃烧顺利温度也不高。
尾段仿佛又回到了酸甜的主线,偶尔有L草的味道冒出来又迅速消失,抽完一斗后口腔中一直是酸甜的回味。让我大感意外。
整体来说,奥德赛是一款非常不错的英式调配烟草,从最开始的果脯酸甜味,到烤面包的焦香味过度非常顺利,烟气量中等偏上,非常适合周末在家慢慢的品味。 Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
Nice Latakia presence to me. Very significant, but not overwhelming everything else. As described, it's big. Deep, rich, but I also find it very well-balanced... sweetness, smokiness, nice dimensions from the Orientals. Complicated enough to be inter... Read More

Retro hale
August 07, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
This English is the same as any other. The key is to retro hale slowly. Don't just whiff it out the nose in a split second. Take 5 to 10 seconds and whiff it out slowly. You will detect chestnut, citrus, cigar and bacon.

A Favorite!
October 10, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 8oz
I am a fan of Latakia and do not like a lot of spice. However, to me, this blend is a great balance of the Latakia, Orientals, and the Red and Jet-Black stoved Virginias. Although Latakia has its core characteristics, it never ceases to amaze me how ... Read More
the Latakia flavors change slightly from blend to blend and this is no exception. The Latakia and Orientals are in a good balance and the Virginias let their presence be known and add an extra sweetness I do not get with other Latakia based blends. So, for me, this blend is rich, smokey, a little spicy with some sweetness to it. Highly recommended. Read Less

Top Notch

Great offering from Greg, and a top notch English Blend. The tobaccos are high quality and the blended ribbon is perfect. Full flavor and moderate nicotine. Air dry for 10-15 minutes before packing and it burns slow and dry. I highly recommend this b... Read More

I just love this blend. There is so much flavor and so much to explore with every bowl. The Latakia is top notch with the orientals in the background and a somehow savory VA base. I absolutely love it.

Big. Need I say more? Yes, I suppose I should. This one is a nice big latakia bomb. It's not overpowering. This is not pouring on the spiciest hot sauce to prove to everyone what a tough person you are. This is just a tasty blend that doesn't do a l... Read More
ot to hide all of that latakia goodness. Are there orientals and virginias? Yes. But latakia is the star here, and if you're not sure if you've had a blend with latakia casted as Lou Reed, buy this. Now. Well, be responsible. If you don't have the money, save up first. Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
I'm writing this as I smoke my first bowl. I know it's not wise, but I just feel so excited! I was looking for a strong English (even stronger than this one) but I have to say I'm quite pleased. The latakia is strongly there, but at least I don't fin... Read More
d it overpowering. Yep, there's plenty of incensy orientals too, and I love the way they interact with the latakia. It takes some time to dry it, but once it's good, smokes cool and nice. And there's no tongue bite! Even though I'll continue looking for even stronger blends, and despite having tried some that I really like, it's the first time I know I'll get more of one of them, right on the first smoke. Right on! Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
Incredible, full bodied in flavor, and meduim-full in strength. It is very well done. It is very smokey and tangy on the tin note. You think it would be latakia forward, and it basically is, but with that said the orientals and VA's hold there own,... Read More
and are right there with the smokey-goodness to deliver sweet, sour, bready tones, all right up front. You might think the flavor profile is a bit "busy" and too much going on, but it really isnt. That is the magic behind this blend. Very very well balanced. No one leaf or note takes over.... just an explosion of consistent, rich, and satisfying flavor. It ages very well too. So good!

Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
Easily in my top 5 Balkan blends. It's a carousel of flavors; at once Latakia forward, then next Oriental. The Virginias add sweetness to the richness and savory smokiness of Latakia and Orientals. Top notch Pease blend for sure
Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
After my first good puff my hair promptly turned white while my eyes rolled in their sockets like a slot machine. Jackpot! I've devoured half the tin and I don't think I can get out of my seat. Life is good.
Smooth and bold

Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
Odyssey is a smooth and bold English. The stoved Virginias in it really balance the flavor.
I don't know what to make of this one

Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
Sometimes it's wonderfully deep and transporting, others it's harsh and tongue-stabbing. I've never been so torn in my opinion of a blend.
Balanced
December 04, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
Not as full as I remember. Needs to be smoked in a very large bowl for full enjoyment. Overall a nice balanced blend but I prefer more latakia flavor. Perhaps it needs to age a bit.

ysseus is a pretty strong English, latakia forward. The orientals perfectly balance the latakia and base. It's very fragrant and has a bit of an incense quality. The latakia calms down after about half a bowl and the orientals start to come forward. I'm not a good judge of nicotine, but strong in flavor. Room note is not bad. Tin note is very fragrant, the latakia and orientals stand out. Definitely one to keep atound. Read Less

Perfectly piquant.
April 29, 2014

Upon lighting, immediately you sense that pleasant leading bouquet that belongs to latakia -- piquant tones of rose and leatheriness, flowery and somehow stale-fresh. Then as the bowl progresses, a melodious undertone reinforces the sweetness of the ... Read More
latakia: a mellow apricot-tinged vanilla richness rises from underneath, just subtly nutty, and becomes more and more present, spreading, and ensconcing the flavours in the same way as your briar hugs its tobacco. Quite a sweet smoke, and it goes well I say with a sweet whiskey. Read Less

This blend is really amazing and is one of my favorite latakia blends. When you open the can you are greeted by a no-nonsense smell of deep, rich leather smell that cools your nose as you inhale its awesomeness. I had a pretty fresh can that was mar... Read More
ked as being born on Nov 2012 so it wasn’t aged by any means. Coming out of the can it needed to be dried a bit as I like my tobacco to be a tad drier than what is delivered. This blend in my opinion is one that taste the way it smells, a smooth dark and it just reminds me of a fresh leather baseball glove, but deeper than that. It is smoother in taste than Nightcap and reminds me of Black House in flavor profile, though still dissimilar enough to enjoy both of them separately. As I smoked through my many bowls, it began to mellow out and the flavor changes to something that has more range which leaves you pondering what that change was, alas my palette is not knowledge enough to put my finger on it. In conclusion I still prefer Nightcap as it has more a nic hit than Odyssey, though it is a nice change that I really enjoy. Plus you can buy this in bulk where as Nightcap you’re stuck buying 50g tins. Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Odyssey 2oz
This will take some getting used to for me. Loaded with Cyprian Latakia. When I think of G.L. Pease's nick name "The Dark Lord" this blend comes to mind. Good stuff, but HOLY LATAKIA! -Best Regards, Dave Ray

espite tin note. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of smoky wood, salty earth, musty leather, toasted bread, lemon grass, mildly spicy, semi-sweet nutty background note, and a very peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Orientals supporting. Virginias are providing back up. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is good. Read Less

First impressions: wow this was smokey and Full with a capital F. Calls for a big pipe to get the best flavor profile. On par with Nightcap for flavor and nic hit.
