G. L. Pease: Spark Plug 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-029-0096

A quality English blend from renowned G.L. Pease, Spark Plug's tin art immediately denotes its inspiration: A Union Jack comprises the foreground in recognition of the English blends that dominated British pipesmoking preferences in the early 20th century. These original mixtures offered a distinctly spicy and smoky component though the use of Latakia and Oriental tobaccos overtop a Virginia base. As such, Spark Plug is an immediately Latakia-forward blend that Pease describes as

"Rich, dark, oily, mysterious, full of fascinatingly complex, smoky, and leathery aromas, just like all those little British cars from my past that inspired both the blend and the name. Latakiaphiles are going to love it."

Pressed into a dense plug, Spark Plug can be sliced thick or thin, based on individual preference, and it presents a deep, powerful flavor profile, marked by a campfire's smokiness and aged leather from the Cyprian Latakia, married to rich and spicy Orientals from Greece and Turkey, and sweet Bright and Red Virginias. Like the classic cars that inspired its invention, Spark Plug is charming and satisfying. Take it for a test drive before setting aside to age or enjoy it at full throttle straight out of the tin.

This is a good English blend.

This is a high-quality, good English blend. Smoky. Exactly what you need, especially on a winter evening by the fireplace or during an autumn walk in the forest. Just let it “mature” a bit after opening the tin and avoid packing your pipe too tightly, and you’ll be pleased with the result.

Plug her up!
January 01, 2025
By: Drsealcoat
Product: G. L. Pease Spark Plug 2oz
This is a fine plug blend, the Latakia isn't overwhelming to me and there's definitely a subtle kind of flavor that reminds me of C&D Mississippi Mud.(One of my favorites). This may be an acquired taste for some. Great to accompany a nice night of porch reading and listening to the crickets chirp. Will definitely be buying more from Mr Pease...Read More

Dark, Rich Leather and Creosote
August 09, 2024
By: Pretentious Pedantry
Product: G. L. Pease Spark Plug 2oz
As per usual with GL Pease/C&D/Drucquer, it does not impress me right out of the tin. It's sort of a one-note wonder, with latakia drowning out everything else. I love latakia more than most people I know, but I like to taste my orientals and virginias too. I'll leave this one jarred in the cellar for two or three months and then it will probably be excellent. That's usually how it works. For now, it's dark, rich, leathery, full of pine smoke and creosote. It's definitely not a "plug" but rather a mush. The leaves are far too wet and soft to be a plug, far too wet and soft to slice into flakes, so it needs to be set out to dry for an hour or more, then rubbed out thoroughly. Spark Plug is a slow smoke, remarkably cool, not as flavorful as I expected, but pretty okay. The tin I opened today is three and a half years old, right where I like it. Now all it needs is a few months in the jar to "breathe" and I'm sure it will be delectable. I will re-evaluate at that time. Cheers....Read More

A superb plug
July 10, 2024
By: Kevin A.
Product: G. L. Pease Spark Plug 2oz
I’ve smoked a full tin of this fine pipe tobacco from Mr Pease now so feel I can comment on my thoughts regarding it. This is my kind of tobacco, very smooth to my taste, leathery, oily and pleasurable to smoke. I have spent many an hour relaxing smoking this tin and I feel that this is where it excels, putting the smoker in a relaxing state of mind. Superb tobacco and have ordered more....Read More

Steep Learning Curve

Product: G. L. Pease Spark Plug 2oz
Wow. Just read Adam's review. I fall into the category of "those needing more experience in prepping". I loved the tin note of this blend, as well as what I could smoke of it. I just couldn't keep it lit. I attributed this to it being too moist and me not waiting a sufficient amount of time in my haste to try it. I will ensure I have properly prepared it next time, and look forward to an enjoyable smoke. Adam's review gets a 5 for those still getting their feet wet on plug preparation....Read More

Spark Plug Adjustments
May 27, 2024
By: Bernie
Product: G. L. Pease Spark Plug 2oz
After my 1st review (2 star) and reading some other reviews, including instruction on how to best prepare this tobacco I gave it another go. I am glad I did. I really enjoyed spark plug. It is a pungent, earthy smoke. Strong like bull! Proper preparation is indeed key on this one. For those seeking guidance, I gained a lot from Adam's review of this tin regarding proper prep work. I may cellar a tin or two of this little gem for a rainy day in the future....Read More

Not for me
February 23, 2024
By: Thomas K.
Product: G. L. Pease Spark Plug 2oz
Opened up a tin of this a few weeks ago,it was from the original release, so it had a few years age on it. This is the first Pease product that has proven a dud for me. Hard to prep,vile tasting and impossible to keep lit. Some people obviously enjoy this,but not me.

A must have for any English lover
February 01, 2020
By: Joshua R.
Product: G. L. Pease Spark Plug 2oz
If you rate this blend anything less than 5 stars you are only admitting your lack of a palate. Perhaps just inexperienced. This is one of the most finely tuned blends on the market. Preparation is the labor of love. You can't rush perfection. I found slicing the plug in 1/8" slices. Then turn them on their side and chop them around 3/16" so you have a nice even cube like chop. Rub it apart and dry for maybe 10 minutes. Pack medium and give it a char. Pack it more firmly and with your Czech tool pin, step some air holes straight down the center to open a little more draw and relight. You won't have to tamp again for 20 minutes. The blend is like a roller coaster offering great complexity around every corner. So smooth, so tasty....Read More

To me Spark Plug is your basic run of the mill English blend. Nothing to write home about. Dealing with the plug was not worth the effort.
