Several varieties of Virginia tobaccos form the structure of G. L. Pease's Samarra blend. Smoky Cyprian Latakia, fine Turkish leaf, and just a bit of Perique are added for richness. The smoke is silky and round. A subtle, yet complex sweetness from the Virginias and just a little zest is present throughout the smoke, while layers of complexity tantalize the senses from first blush to the last puff.

My Favorite Daily Blend

January 28, 2023

By: AnchorageBowl

Product: G. L. Pease Samarra 2oz

Sweet, cool, and silky- Samarra is my favorite daily blend and the retrohale is truly pleasant. I consider this to be a sweeter English blend, as the Virginias are a clear note that balances well with latakia. I’m typically not a perique lover, but the perique plays a very faint background and is not very detectable. Nice, puffy clouds and a did I mention the retrohale?...Read More

awesome!

Tin note of smoky, mild spice, and mild tart fruit. The ribbon cut is brown, black and tan. Tobacco is moist but not dry, no prep or drying needed. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of earth, bread, smoked wood, tart lemon grass, floral, musty dry herbs, mild raisins, mildly spicy, mild sweet hay background note, and a mild peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Latakia and the Oriental/Turkish supporting. Perique is bringing up the rear. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

"A kitchen sink blend with a London attitude." Best of all... a pipe smoking tiger. Thanks Greg

Great mouthfeel

Product: G. L. Pease Samarra 2oz

This is a really nice English mixture with some Turkish in there to fill it out a bit. It grew on me as I worked through the tin and it is definitely a well-balanced, repeatable smoke. Ribbon-cut that loads easily and packs well. The latakia is noticeable but not overpowering, but it's got a lot of ingredients. Red and a little bit of bright Virginia, Turkish, Latakia and a bit of Perique... the gang's all here. But they're all well behaved and play their role....Read More

Traditional British style blend

August 22, 2022

By: PD

Product: G. L. Pease Samarra 2oz

This is exceptional, and reminiscent of English made blends I remember from the 1980s. I have 3 GL Pease favorites, and this is one. It has a present but subdued latakia element, and the perique is added in very small quantities (as it should be). There is an un-sweetened cocoa element which I have found missing in most latakia blends today. Update: I liked it much better fresh than aged!...Read More

Excellent Oriental blend, but

Product: G. L. Pease Samarra 2oz

This is excellent if you like Oriental forward blends, personality I don’t. The room note is wonderful and tastes is good but has that bitter sweetness that I’m not fond of.

Bought this first back in 2013, didn't like it then, probably also cause I was a beginner. Smoked the same tin again and now its one of my fav english blend. Sweet, mysterious and intriguing.

A masterpiece...

Product: G. L. Pease Samarra 2oz

This is a really good medium English/Balkan and I order it from time to time. I'm not much of a latakia hound, but when I want latakia, this is one that I reach for a lot of the time. Mr. Pease has a masterpiece on his hands with this one; it's creamy virginias, sweet and sour orientals, smoky latakia, with a little kick from the perique, it will satisfy anyone's craving for a good blend. It's not a latakia powerhouse, but it has the perfect amount when I want it. Nothing in this blend sticks out and each tobacco, while can be seperately detected, work within one another nicely. I do recommend this highly, but it's not one that I would smoke everyday, though it definitely could be, if Balkans are your preference...Read More

The Best

Product: G. L. Pease Samarra 8oz

This is a truly special blend with flavor you will find nowhere else. Other than a couple of my own, this is my favorite, and my absolute favorite among any blends you can buy off-the-shelf. It deserves the 5-star rating and then some. Amazingly satisfying and pleasing.
