Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
5 month old Sixpence: quite good. Well made baked goods. A little spicy. A little sweet. Rich and complex with layers of dark flavor. Hints of bbq from the Kentuckys. The perique is really there for me. It fits in to my top choices. A real tr... Read More
eat.
5 yr Sixpence: all the above but so smooth. Fresh artisanal croissant comes in. It's perfectly balanced. It has more levels of subtly and loses some complexity for a much more unified profile. The Virginias are incredible. The perique smooths out and loses any harshness. Every year of age makes it into a tobacco of a whole other class.
Overall it's awesome from its packaging and turns celestial with age! I'm cellaring as many tins of it as I can. I can't wait for the coming years with this blend. Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
Very rich and satisfying. Red Virginias and a generous amount of Perique. Description says dark fired Kentucky and I won't disagree, but the major players are the Va and Per. Broken flake, moisture was good from tin so it went directly into a jar.... Read More

Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
So, I am a fan of bolder blends, but generally can find the appeal of the subtler stuff. I am also a HUGE fan of Mr. Pease's work. That said, this stuff baffles me. It's very bland. I've tried aging it for a year, various levels of moisture, differen... Read More
t sized chambers, etc., but it still tastes like a whole bunch of nothing. A hint of a very subtle Virginia, but that's it. What am I not getting that the other reviewers are? I'll let my two remaining tins sit a few years and come back to this stuff later.
UPDATE - seeing the comment above, I'll qualify my opinion for now. Maybe there was a QC issue somewhere along the line. As my fellow reviewer said, G.L. Pease just doesn't do bland and all these reviews lead me to believe it's something on my end. I'all try ordering another tin, as I don't want to return tins that have been aging for a year now.

Captivating
January 18, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
So, this was my first taste of Mr. Pease work. Even though I´ve been smoking for some years now, I´m still a novice as the tobacco i was used to smoking was really bad. That being said, I have to confess that at first I kind of hated this blend. The ... Read More
smell out of the tin was...bready? I can´t quite put my finger on it. I loved it but at the same time hated it. As for the smoke, obviously this was my first encounter with DFK. So, of course i got a mild nic-hit, which made me put some distance between me and this blend (I´m a really short lad, so don´t think it has a big hit in the nic department, rather it´s that nicotine hits me faster). Anyways, this blend just kind of sitted in my shelf through the months. Finally I decided to finish the blend because I hate wasting tobacco. And my oh my, what a change. I still can´t quite put my finger on this blend but it just kind of grew on me. Even though I never tasted that alcohol topping, the leaves started to evolve and open in my tongue. What at first was an intrusive and towering smoke became a sweet and bold treat. I was kind of secretely dissapointed when my tin ran out. So, in conclussion: the tobacco is top notch quality. I´m considering buying another tin and let it just cellar for a little bit. Take it really slow and sip and enjoy this blend (I now call this a reading blend. Just sit, enjoy and don´t rush it). I´m really looking forward as to how it will taste now that I have a more develop taste as far as ´baccies go. Read Less

My all time favorite VaPer. And I think I have the DFK to thank. Rich, complex, sweet, and spicy. I could smoke this all day everyday. I predominantly smoke English blends, but this seduced me and I’m glad it did.

Tin date 10 16 14, has notes of spicy, Rasin, and pungent sour. The broken flakes are brown and rub out nicely. Moisture is ok, no prep needed. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. Flavoring is extremely mild, if th... Read More
ere at all, I couldn't discern it. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of very woody, floral, very spicy, earth, sour grass, mild lemon, baked bread, mild spiced fruit, mild bitter herbs, a mildly nutty background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias is leading with Perique supporting. Kentucky providing back up, and the flavoring got scared and ran away. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

on, which I still smoke. So I know tobacco, and this one KICKS. With that said, it is not overbearing or too strong where it will turn you off. If you sip slowly and pace yourself than you’re in for one HELL of a pipe session. This is the perfect blend to chose after one of those days that kicks your ass. Subtly sweet, peppery, spice, tang, and whiskey, or some type of liquor on the retro hale. I will definitely be getting more of this one. Give it a try, You may not love it, but I guarantee you won’t hate it. Happy smokes! Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
This is very hard to dry out, and as a result, it takes quite a few tries to get it to stay lit. There is, at first, a cloying sweetness at the tip of the tongue, and the roomnote is pleasant. But the sweetness and taste seem to vanish quickly.

Sometimes That Second Chance Means Everything
March 21, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
There are many songs I like that I didn’t quite appreciate on my first listen. Same with several other things. Within the realm of pipe tobacco, Escudo and G.L. Pease’s Sixpence are notable examples. I came to fancy Escudo on that second bowl, and wi... Read More
th Sixpence, on that second tin. I first sampled Sixpence in spring 2020 and though I finished the tin within a few days, it did not impress me, and in a way I was simply trying to get rid of it. I don’t know what happened, if its ingredients were not blended to its standard measurements, but I didn’t reorder another until March 2021. I’m thankful I did. For I favorably reviewed a few other Pease blends and looked up the components of Sixpence. Wait—Dark Fired Kentucky, Perique and Black Cavendish? Those are among my favorite components. What could have gone awry? This didn’t seem right. Suffice it to say that second tin, ordered one year later, gave me all I had hoped for. The tin note contained something that at first smelled funky and Camembert-like (something I love in Warped’s Kings Stride and Tabac Manil’s four blends). Then I sniffed again, and again. That funky smell was imagined; the true tin note was a strong one or rum, whiskey, or both. That liquor element continued past the tin note and char light and down to the bottom of the bowl, and this proved consistent with my ensuing smoke sessions of Sixpence. So in this way, this broken flake is akin to the Navy flakes I’ve enjoyed. But there ends the similarities with said Navy flakes. For here the Perique is dominant, the DFK plays a strong supporting role, and the Virginias are there to sweeten everything and the Cavendish enriches it and mellows it out. Pease actually delivers an impressive medium-strength and medium-bodied blend hard to fit into a category. Aromatic or English it clearly is not, and it’s more multifaceted than a VaPer or a BurVa. I’ll soon be buying ten or more tins to stow away in my study’s closet (this pipelover’s cellar). There’s one caveat to this one that I remind myself of, and you may find the same. If you don’t fancy a rum or liquor topping or flavor in your pipe tobacco, then don’t smoke bowls of these back-to-back or consecutively. Smoke a bowl of Sixpence and then puff other blends and come back another day for a bowl of this. At times I feel Pease topped it with too generous of a portion of rum, and I can taste it throughout the bowl. 4.5 stars. Read Less

January 31, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
As much as I do adore this tobacco, I went in hoping for a bit more of a DFK smack. The Virginia, however, is the star of this blend. I don't find the alcohol topping to be overpowering as some have. Ultimately, delicious and flavorful.

Grows on you
February 12, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 8oz

Burns fairly quick (is a somewhat dry flake).
Smoke has a pretty warm temp to start, but Burns... Read More
very evenly throughout.
Pretty pleasant taste with rich smoke feel to start.
Pretty pleasant Room Note from start to finish.
A bit spicy, but tolerable.
At first I thought it wasn't really my thing, but it starts to grow on you about half way through; finishes very well.
Has more flavor than Rattray's Black Virginia.
Hits the tongue mostly center to the back; slightly on the center toward the front.
No tongue bite.
Has a very pleasant aftertaste; kind of like coffee. Goes very well with coffee.
The lingering room note is very pleasant. Has a hint of something sweet. Maybe a little like floral of a sweet Cherry Blossom with a hint of spice.
The smoke reminds me of the Tin Note of Dreams of Kadath.
Has a very pleasant Beard Note.
I found myself craving another smoke shortly after I had finished my first bowl.
I like it a lot!
👍
Overall: 🤙 I'll smoke it again. It's become a definite favorite!
I did not roll it out, just put it in my Partially Rusticated Orange Stained Nording Pipe and smoked it. :) Read Less
Different in a good way
January 16, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
When you crack the tin, the first thing you get is a cognac/grape wine note. It does carry over into the flavor when smoked but really adds to the profile! Not your standard KyVaPer and in this case that is a good thing!
Product: G. L. Pease Sixpence 2oz
A very intriguing blend when cut with some mild Virginia. But on its own it's just too rich for me.

flavor of the smoke. The tobacco itself is a well presented broken flake, and comes just a touch moist. However... I just give this tobacco a gentle rub and pack it straightaway and gently with no drying time, and In my opinion this is the way to go. This will cause a moderately wet smoke but for me, its really not a hassle and I want every last molecule of flavor to make it to my tongue and nose (not too wet or a smoke). Just like the tin note the flavors that wash over the senses are a woody smokiness and light to medium virginia hay flavors, and just enough fruity and spicy perique to really round out the experience. Theres also a creamy flavor that reminds me faintly of The Virginia Cream, which must be the virginias, and also a spicyness. Sixpence is a masterpiece. If Bach were a modern tobacco blender he would bow to Mr. Pease for engineering this symphony of flavors, balanced just right. It is the gold standard of dark fired and perique blends, and out of all that ive tried is my new favorite. Below I saw this compared to Gaslight, and in a sense i can understand it because both are uniquely mysterious and delicious, but i feel this could easily be an all day smoke where gaslight is strong enough to stay an occasional delight, or perhaps once a day. If you love the flavor of good american dark fired and virginia then do yourself a favor and try this blend. This is a 5 star blend. The only reason i docked a star is that i had some issue with my 8 oz. tins being too dry to recover and smoke, but smokingpipes service was above and beyond and they helped me resolve my issues and assured me that the issue is known and being corrected. Customer service has been very helpful. A++. Consistency is important, and though my issue was an anomaly i have to consider it. When i receive my new 8 oz. Tin in my next order and try it out i will put Sixpence in its rightful place with 5 stars. I look forward to it. Read Less

tial guilt for doing so in this case. Sixpence is of clear quality. The tobacco is lovely--Greg Pease does not put out offal. This one is just not for me. Where others taste a hint of anise or absinthe, I sense heat, like I'm puffing too urgently regardless of how delicately I nibble. It's cloying, but there are no flavor profiles that justify that kind of adjective. I don't know. Like I said, I wanted to like it. I'd say give it a whirl. I'm obviously in the minority on this one. I feel like I'm missing out, like everyone else is having a different experience. But let's return to a positive place by way of an utter non sequitur: Bosch's Tondal's Vision is a masterpiece of surrealism centuries before that trail was supposedly blazed in two-dimensional art. Seriously, check it out. It's crazy to think that Bosch painted that in the 16th century. Read Less

I find this blend the only one out there that's similar to Kingfisher while still being it's own beast. I'm almost finished with my first tin and I've been blown away with every bowl since the first.
Once this is back in stock I'll be sure to stock... Read More

pulled a few strands apart and loaded up......I struck a match, puff puff.......ahhhhh Magic! It smoked great right out of the tin. Excellent flavors all the way down. Almost a sweet meaty flavor on top with a mild pepper kicking in near the end. No bite, no BS! This is a fine smoke. I can only imagine this after a little cellar time....I'm ordering more and can't wait to share with my fellow Seattle Pipe Club members. Read Less

So.. let's break the ice, as some us may, in fact have to do to enjoy yet another GLP masterpiece outside. I really enjoy the Old London series and yet not a fan of lighter Virginia tobacco and often stick with the darker fare and seldom, if ever, sm... Read More
oke an aromatic... yet this lover of the dark leaf is under it's spell. What a great Christmas blend. I highly recommend it for a welcome change!
(Edit) Near the bottom of my second tin that I have smoked out of my Country Gentleman Cob that I have dedicated to this wonderful concoction. So damn good it makes you want to dance a jig.! Read Less
