About This Pipe Tobacco

Penny Farthing is a shag-cut blend of bright and red Virginias, spiced with Louisiana Perique and a hint of fire-cured dark Kentucky. It's easy to pack, easy to smoke. Sipped gently, Penny Farthing opens with a sophisticated sweetness, evolving in depth and complexity throughout the bowl to a rich, satisfying finish.

The standard for my pipe tobaccos
November 21, 2025
Product: G. L. Pease Penny Farthing 2oz
This is the tobacco that I use to judge all other pipe tobaccos. Is it worse than PF, as good as PF, or better than PF (not many get that distinction)? I absolutely love everything about this tobacco. I understand that shag cut isn't for everyone, but a full bowl lasts about an hour for me and is the PERFECT companion to my morning coffee. If you smoke it slow enough, you get a wonderful aftertaste of dark chocolate. Like I said, it compliments my coffee perfectly. Do yourself a favor and try it....Read More
Tasty and enjoyable smoke.

I am very much in the beginning stages of becoming a pipe smoker. I was really intrigued by this blend, so I added it to one of my orders. Needless to say it is very wonderful to smoke. I am still learning my palate and still need to work on my packing technique, so most of my bowls have some techinical difficulties from user error. This is one of the first blend that I was able to smoke to the bottom of the bowl with minimal issues. My palate is still developing, so I normally don't pull certain flavours yet, but I really enjoyed the taste of this blend. I did not get any tongue bite from this blend, as I did try my best to take is slow. I also didn't need to relight that often, as the moisture seemed to be perfect for me....Read More
Enjoyable, Interesting & Complex

The shag cut packs easily and allows one to obtain a tighter pack.
The Virginia provides a slight, mild sweetness throughout the entire bowl. There is a meaty, full mouth feel quality providing a decent amount of smoke, even while sipping this tobacco
If you want a blast of spice, retrohale!r>The second half of the bowl and between puffs, I was getting a dark red cherry / plummy after taste.
Thanks Greg, an absolute pleasure to smoke.
Finally, Penny Farthing pairs wonderfully with a dram of Michter's Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon!

Not up to my standards

Product: G. L. Pease Penny Farthing 2oz
This VaPer looks good cause it’s a shag cut which is pretty cool, it also smells good right out of the tin. But it is definitely lacking a lot during smoke. I personally prefer C&D Bayou Morning Flake & Orlik Golden Slices over this, so much so that this hasn’t been in my rotation ever since I’ve tried those....Read More
A Good VaPer w/ a DFK Chaser

Product: G. L. Pease Penny Farthing 2oz
Kuddos to Greg on a very enjoyable VaPer. This is my first shag cut and, out of the tin, it lights well, stays lit, and has a great moisture content. The flavor of the virginias and perique is spot on and the dark fired Kentucky adds a certain masculinity to the blend that sets it apart. I always look for tobacco that is enjoyable from first light to the bottom of the bowl and leaves you wanting more. One where you don’t want your pipe time to end. This cannot be said for a lot of tobaccos out there. But Penny Farthing hits the mark for me. I recommend it for those who enjoy good VaPers. Prov. 3:5,6...Read More
