All Day Smoker
February 10, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
Touting a honeyed tin note and flavor, Picadilly refuses to offend. A liitle bit of perique pepper and a dash of latakia earthiness, outstanding Virginias. This is that many others try to emulate.
THE All-Day English Blend
July 22, 2017
Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
One of my favorite G.L. Pease blends, and it was the first of many English blends I tried when I began smoking a pipe. After smoking it every morning for an entire summer, I still go back to it constantly; therefore I've revised this review. Piccadil... Read More
ly is a well-balanced blend, with all the component tobaccos noticeable in the right proportions, albeit in a rather low-key fashion. Upon opening the tin, the Latakia note is strong, but it's content is rather low; just enough to let the Perique shine through. The Virginia flavors are savory and on the grassy side, lending it body. The three components create a flavor all their own instead of being outwardly noticeable on their own. The casing, as with most G.L. Pease blends, is light. There are very mild notes of a honey & citrus topping, as mentioned by others. Absolutely nothing is overpowering here, yet it's got a lot of flavor—leave it to Greg to create such blends! The balance of flavors is just right, nothing is harsh, and the nicotine level is appropriately low. This is very similar to Greg's newer blend called Trafalgar with Drucquer & Sons; carrying a similar flavor profile and namesake. For fans of old world style Englishes, this is certainly worth trying. Read Less
The best intro to English, great for anytime.

Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
What a wonderfully balanced English blend. It doesn't sway too far in any direction, swimming the English seas without going too deep. Though I would not call this blend shallow. The fresh tin note is akin to sitting around a late-night dying down p... Read More
ine and cedarwood campfire within a fall orchard, where much of the fruit is a memory, but a faint fruit and pepper jam redolence breaks through now and then. The smoke is flavorful, earthy and rich but dry, with a consistent virginia subnote of sweetness. The bulk of the bowl brings a tasty and consistent smoke; rather than picking the flavors of each component out of the smoke and retro, the parts add up to something more then the sum of their individual notes. A cedarwood aroma melds with a smokey, earthly fullness that lasts through the whole bowl and is the most forward and discernable flavor. There is a whisper of smoked clove, mellow white pepper, and ceylon cinnamon. This is no lofty byzantian blend aimed at pleasing the palates of debutants light-mindedly lounging in a study with rumps upon puffy leather chairs; $900 pipes in palms. No. This is a working man's English. Hardy without pretense, subdued but not tame. Simple though not pedestrian or plain.
All in all, I recommend this for just about any pipe smoker, but especially for folks who want to dive into the English channel, without a laboriously labyrinthine swim in the darker waters of the English soul - which this may well lead to, but even so, you'll find yourself visiting Piccadilly quite often in any case.

Sweet, Smoky, Spicy and Mild
September 28, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
15 month old tin: VERY sweet. In appearance, there's plenty of lemons mixed with mahogany and reds. Those lemons contribute a sharp, citrusy sweetness at first, but the reds and mahogany interplay and provide a wonderful Virginia symphony of sweet ... Read More
bread, wood and citrus. That sweetness is supported by a constant but unpretentious smokiness from the lightly applied latakia. The perique adds a small amount of plummy spice here and there, but like the latakia, it's never forward or a predominate element in the profile. This reminds me of Early Morning Pipe. Whereas EMP is less sweet and supported with toasted Orientals and their nuttiness - Piccadilly has a more contemplative VA nuance. The flavor profile of EMP tends to congeal into a monotony of stoved smokiness further into the bowl, however Piccadilly retains individual characteristics of various leaves... this is what EMP wants to be when it grows up. There's something else in Piccadilly I can't quite place... a honeysuckle/cinnamon note. Almost as if there's a tea element to this. At first I thought it was my imagination running, but there's definitely a topping to this that adds a subtle sweet spiced/floral nuance. This is great with a black cup of coffee. While it's a mild mixture, it does provide a bit of nicotine: 2.0 out of 5 Read Less

Smoking this a little hot produces a peppery spice, similar to a cigar. However, when you keep it cool, the sweeter notes really come through. To me, I pickup a nutmeg, light cinnamon and cloves taste And aroma. I do think it is a little stronger ... Read More

First light - a very sweet and creamy smoke will welcome your palate. It will be consistant untill about half of the bowl, which in this point I no longer detect any flavor what so ever..
A Pleasure to Smoke

Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
This has a super pleasant flavor, a non-sugary sweet spice. The prior reviews are spot on.
English Va/Per?

Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 8oz
Not too heavy on either Latakia or Perique, great balance. Easy ribbon cut packs and burns like a champ. All day smoke.
Cinnamon
February 13, 2024
Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 8oz
Perfect description, I definitely get more cinnamon flavor up front with citrus in the back, I could even add Apricot in, as the citrus note reminds me more of that rather than an orange or mandarin.
Bowl Selection is Important
May 16, 2023
Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
Most G.L. Pease blends are indifferent to bowl geometry, but there are a few exceptions - Gaslight, Penny Farthing, Cumberland, et al - this being one. Piccadilly performed best for me in Group 3 size chambers, most notably a MM Charles Towne Cobble... Read More
r. Smaller bowls didn't leave time for the flavor to develop, larger and wider - steer clear of pots with this blend - washed everything out. It was so good in the cob, however, that Piccadilly is now in my Summer rotation. Perfect for a VaPer fan looking to try an Englishy blend, or for spicy English fans looking to lighten up their rotation. Read Less
Good for all day

Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
Very good, like some kind of savory food, a slightly olive flavor with hints of coffee and subtle woody notes, mild and burns perfectly, was able to fully smoke on first light, easy to keep lit and burns cool.

Tin notes of mildly smoky, sweet wine, and resin like spice. The tobacco is a ribbon cut and has a small amount of tan, a moderate amount brown-red and small amount of black. Tobacco is moist, so no drying needed. Burns is normal with few relights. T... Read More
he strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and consistent with notes of lemon grass, tart fruit, raisin bread, earth, slight smoky wood, slightly floral, and a peppery retro. The Virginias are leading with Perique and Latakia supporting harmoniously. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less
A unique virgina blend.

A breakfast blend? I only smoke in evenings and as a last pipe of the day, the lack of strength is much appreciated. It is a mild but complex virginia blend with small amount of latakia and perique. It is a mildly sweet, natural and savoury blend. Th... Read More

Great Morning option
April 30, 2022
Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
I've smoked a bit of Early Morning Pipe, and GL Pease's Chelsea Morning, and this blend fits right in that category. There is both latakia and perique in there, but lightly so. This, like those other two, is best paired with black coffee and a mornin... Read More

A quality smoke
March 01, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 8oz
For what it is its really good; Virginias, perique, and Latakia. It doesn't overwhelm. Very nice to have on hand when you want to take a step away from your heavier blends.

A gentle blend with enough perique to give it juice. Perfect!
Nice change of pace from English!
November 03, 2015
Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
This one smokes as spicy as an English, without the woodiness, to me it was more like cinnamon, than citrus and cinnamon, the citrus was more subtle, the spiciness was great, not bad at all! No bite, either! A great one for breakfast or lunch!
Not for me.

Product: G. L. Pease Piccadilly 2oz
At the half way point it becomes so spicy you might as well be smoking a bowl of black pepper. It’s not often I dump a bowl or say anything bad about a tobacco, but I couldn’t stand it. It screams quality tobacco, but it simply didn’t agree with me
