Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
Pressed Virginian along with raisin and a bit of plum on the tin note. Tinned in June and is moist and perfect smoking right upon opening. Raisin gives way to creamy vanilla and nutty melodies while the orientals interject their spice and arid woodla... Read More
nd themes. The sweetness of the pressed reds and brights weave in a soothing refrain.
If the orientals mellow just a bit more with a little aging, I can't imagine a more perfect Va / Ori blend. Read Less
VA/OR w/ Perique
March 04, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
This is a fresh tin, about 6 months old. A soft, medium-sliced flake that falls apart as
it is removed from the tin. The tin note is predominately sweet-tart, citrusy hay with a
distinct floral tone and mild oriental incense-like backing. Reveals l... Read More
ittle perique to
the nose.
Smokes well as-is or rubbed out. Flavor is a bit here-and-there so far, could perhaps
benefit from aging. The perique content is trivial compared to my usual blends. Read Less
Rich and Full Bodied
February 05, 2022
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
This is a Fresh tin. about 2 months old. When I opened it I got the aroma of Virginias with inviting sweet-spicy notes. It was ready to smoke immediately after opening. It had a Fresh taste that was both Spicy and Sour. The Virginias were evident an... Read More
d the Orientals brought out the Spice. This Blend is Rich and Full Bodied with a fair amount of Nicotine. It was a little rough around the edges and I believe it will be wonderful with a little aging. Read Less
Hello Rivendell
December 22, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
If Elrond smoked a pipe (I believe he does), this would be the tobacco you find in it. Delicate yet strong, with just the right amount of sweetness... and a hint of cinnamon, rasin, and vanilla that blends nicely with the distinctness of the izmir. ... Read More
You must have the wisdom to go slow to truly enjoy, as burning hot will quickly degenerate into a forest fire.
My tin was about 1 yr old when received. Stored in the freezer to because I know how to read reviews and didn't want any mold issues :p.Filled with flakes that were a bit broken lengthwise, my best results were to just roll up a few and drop lengthwise into a pipe before tamping. Great for an hour or so of wispy puffs. Read Less
Oriental Cigarettes?
May 21, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
It was alright, but didn’t really hit home for me. If I were a cigarette smoker I would roll this up and smoke it. I imagine it’s what cigarettes used to be like or what should be.
Make time for this one.

I love this blend in the evening with a bottle of lager. I'll just sit there, content. I can't quite place the scent, though it's reminding me of something specific. It is a very nice, light, unobtrusive scent that still maintains a really smooth, me... Read More
llow depth. The flavor has a medium spiciness with a light tangy flavor to follow. Really good balance on the blend, even though the flakes don't like to stay together while being removed from the tin it isn't hard at all to get a consistent pack. ----
Update: I had smoked through a portion of my tin, jarred the remainder, and when I came back to it it had changed into a smooth, earthy masterpiece with notes of spice creeping through and building up as you reach the bottom of the pack with a light citrus after taste. So good! Read Less
A good, long smoke.
February 01, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
The pleasant aroma when you open the tin makes you want to love this, and you will (if you fancy Virginia/Periques). It smokes very easily, so if you're newer to pipe smoking or generally impatient, you'll need to take it easy. I can't claim to be sk... Read More
illed at making a bowl last a good, long time, but Regent's Flake makes it easy. This is the first non-burley blend I've managed to smoke all the way through on one match. It's delightful without being overly aromatic, forgiving, and a good way to spend a cool weekend afternoon. Read Less
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
I had a mold issue with the first tin I purchased; the SmokingPipes customer service team generously offered me a replacement tin months later (when I posted my review) without my having prompted them. My initial impression was similar to my first ro... Read More
und of my original tin: a good blend, but own that I found to be a little harsh. Some time in the cellar definitely smooths things out a bit. This a fine Turkish-forward blend, with the Perique and Virginias playing fine complementary roles. Not an instant favorite, but it’s been growing on me as I keep coming back more and more frequently. Read Less
Fit for a King...er Regent!
February 10, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
It's taken me a long time to put up a review of this tobacco, and it's not necessarily because it took me that long to make a decision about it. I bought this and Six Pence in the same order and at first Six Pence was my go to, and in some regard I s... Read More
till like it, but Regents eventually became a good trust worthy friend which has out shined Six Pence. It's a bit wet out of the tin and needs some drying time (no mold in my experience) but once ready to go its a pleasant experience. Initially very spicy on the first true light and down for about the first 1/4 of the bowl, but then everything settles in. I don't know that I can really pull apart the tobaccos, but you can get that bakery taste from the virginias in the background, and the mouth feel of the orientals and perique is ever present but not over powering. It's not sweet, like some of the other Virginia bases I like, such as scottish cake/flake, or solani 663, but it is wonderful regardless. I give high marks to this gem. In the cold rainy season we've had recently the spiciness has been a welcome comfort. Give it a try, you won't regret it! Read Less
Yay for mold
May 25, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
Well, I let it sit for awhile after buying. Opened it up and once again. Mold. Great for a science project I suppose.

Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
WoW, the smell from those tactile chunky flakes is the start of the journey. One of those blends I will have to contemplate more. to even begin and describe the consistent smoking bowl to bowl.
Very different

This blend isn't like any other. Soft tobacco that smokes perfectly. Am I the only one that tastes strawberry or raspberry?
How do I love thee ...?

Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
Rich. Full-bodied without being overpowering. Think of the best dessert you have ever tasted, and how you wanted to savor it. This is how Regent's Flake is compared to similar blends. Both in aroma and taste it is just incredibly satisfying.
Delightful Flake

I had ordered GL Pease Temple Bar but received this similar blend in error. What a great mistake ! I love this stuff. the moisture is perfect and I don't have to fiddle around with my jackknife to cut a plug and let it dry before smoking. Sorry SP, y... Read More

I like this one

Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
The overall flavor is balanced,but the oriental flavor still shows a sign of life every few puffs,especially upon lighting up,which in my opinion is a good thing.I do not detect a large blast of nicotine,but that is not to say that the nicotine is no... Read More

오리엔탈과 페릭의 조화?
August 26, 2016
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
어정쩡합니다.
버지니아의 특색은 찾기어렵고 쐬한 맛과 매운맛 시큼함이 조금 따로 노는 느낌입니다.
한마디로 조화가 깨진 느낌.
특정 짓기힘든 맛.
남은 반 틴은 6개월 묵힌후 다시 피려합니다.
The Yang to Sixpence's yin!
July 20, 2016
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
If you like Sixpence or Sextant, you'll love this!
This is the Yang to Sixpence's yin! It's a mild tasty flake, another Grandslam from Sir Gregory the Great! Bravo!
Product: G. L. Pease Regents Flake 2oz
I'm still working thru my first tin so take this with a grain of ash. I find that RF is extremely mild in flavor. So mild, in fact that in certain pipes the virginias disappear. But what taste there is is very good with some slight harshness.
M... Read More
y other point is that despite the apparent mildness of flavor, RF is hardly nicotine free. I suspect that a number of years aging will bring out the virginias and I'll stick to small pipes to keep my head on straight. Read Less
