About This Pipe Tobacco
You enter the dark paneled room, its walls lined with ancient books. An antique table stands beside a leather club chair. Upon it, next to a small silver coin, an open tobacco tin entices you with an aroma deep, rich, authentic. You fill your bowl, strike a match. The first puff stops time as the smoky magic weaves its spell.
G. L Pease's Sixpence. The mystery continues.

Dark Fired Keeps the Spice On

e exactly what some smokers are looking for, but I found with some of the VaPer blends that I cellared, I was disappointed to no longer have the expected pepperiness that I got when the blends were younger. If you are like me, then Sixpence is a great solution. It seems that dark fired Kentucky does not lose its spiciness over time, and while the perique in this blend does soften and deepen just like the others, because of the dark fired content, there is still plenty of spice. Thus, after 4 years, I have found this blend even better than when it's young. There is a deep dark fruitiness from the perique and red Virginia combined with some tang still from the bright virginias, some remaining breadiness and delicious funk also from the perique, and still plenty of spice still maintained by the addition of some faithful dark fired. If you like VaPers, but you don't want to sacrifice spice as the years go on with aging, this along with C&D Speakeasy are great to have in your cellar!...Read More

The dfk surprised me not harsh

ver smoked it before in an American blend, meaning it doesn't grab you right away and say "look at me look at me" in a hysterical harsh way, instead it seems to work with the dark virginias and the perique which by the way is not overly earthy here either. The result is a newer to me flavor. This is pretty good stuff. The perique and the Virginia impart sweetness and plummy-ness and the dfk raises it to another level with a sustaining platform of supportive darker flavors thus enhancing the darker Virginia. I would be surprised if there isn't some type of topping on here.
If you don't like how c&d or glp's use dfk but feel like experimenting I'd start here. I might just have to buy another tin of this. It's Tasty. Mine was 1.5 yrs aged....Read More

Excelent Vaperky

about 10 minutes before packing a bowl. I also recommend a tall, narrow bowl. I have been smoking this blend in a Dagner poker cob; it smokes like a dream. Rubs out very easily, just rolling it around in the hand, and is not very picky with how you pack. I use the three-step method, and it has not failed me.
This is a dark Virginia blend. It is not green and grassy like lighter Virginias. I have yet to put any in the cellar, but I will soon. I can only imagine what this blend would be like with over a year on it. My 4.5 would easily go to a 5. The taste is complex. I see where they talk about the taste being reminiscent of a library of old books and whatnot. Kentucky brings a little fullness and a very nice body to the blend.
If you have held back on smoking/purchasing this blend, just buy it! You will thank me later. Has not bitten me once, and it can be forgiving to a fast smoker. Although I suggest taking your time with it. Three small sips followed by a nice retrohale is just divine. I would lean towards this being an all-day smoke, given how gentle it is on the tongue and how unpowerful its flavor is. I've paired with Mexican lagers, green tea, and even Crystal Light-flavored water, and nothing has taken away from this guy's flavor. Just a nice reflective blend. Oh, and it will be used to break in pipes; the ash on this tobacco is very nice. Not as good as, say, Sunset Harbor Flake, but a worthy contender to break in....Read More

n paired with the DFK lends to greater strength than one might anticipate. A blend that would lend itself to a good book with just enough complexity to stay interested but not so much as to distract....Read More
