Being new to the hobby, the best I can say is that this blend won me over after a few bowls. The room note and taste from start to finish is phenomenal. It has a fruity character at the start, which develops into what I call “leathery cherries” in the last third. The only other vaper I have tried is Escudo and I prefer this....Read More
Surprisingly average smoke

Maybe Mr. Pease was on leave when they blended my tin. Nothing special, not rich, almost as cigarettes.
Mediocre

I’m afraid I have to disagree with description and “a marvelous edifice of taste and aroma” it is not IMO. I just don’t like the taste of Virginias in this blend. The leading taste is of earthiness and dry hay. I can also taste a little tanginess and hint of bitterness. While red Virginia is present it is not in the lead and mix is really not sweet enough. On other hand Perique is of excellent quality and present in abundant quantity. It fulfills its role of close support rather admirably.
Blend is not pipe dependent. Tasted pretty much the same in briar or meerschaum regardless of pipe shape.
Altogether, I believe there are other VaPers which I have enjoyed much more. I don’t think that I will buy this blend again.

Tin note of pungent, tart raisins and sugar. Tobacco is a Ribbon cut of yellowish tan and light brown with a little dark brown. Moisture content is great. 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 sugar, raisins, orange peel/zest, savory, spices, floral, rich earth, wood, fermented musty vegetation, sweet grass, bready, slightly spicy, a tangy dark plums and tart citrus background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Perique supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

I love most of Pease’s blends and I wanted to like this one off the bat. This one required quite a few bowls for me to get it. It’s definitely not bad but takes some smoking.
Great VaPer with a nice aftertaste

Unlike a lot of what I've had from GL Pease, this is not a flake. It's a ribbon-cut Virginia with Perique that packs very easily, smokes well and has enough spice to satisfy that urge for the Perique tingle.

I really like this and will return to it often. If you like this, you will also like
GL Pease's Fillmore, which is also a VaPer but in broken flake form....Read More
Unpleasant

The perique is not sweet or tart, but has an extreme sharpness. The viriginia is very bitter, like a raw burley. There are a few GLP blends which I like but this seems like very poor quality tobacco. I tried this again and found it much more smokeable. The perqiue was not as sharp as the previous. The virginia was sweeter and milder than the previous tins. Once again, try steaming and pressing, and curing the tobacco like the europeans do, and these C&D blends would be better quality. I don't care or believe that it will be better with 10 years age. I can smoke Dunhill (Peterson) Elizabethena mixture out of a fresh tin and it is much better than this....Read More
Nice American-Style Virginia "Flake"

Back in 2018, I gave this three stars because I thought that its crumbly presentation was kind of lame, but mainly because I found it boring. After having smoked three or four more tins (I lost count), my mind has changed. ♨︎ THE POSITIVE: ♨︎ Union Square is a great Virginia blend that I smoke often between May and September, and especially on hot summer days. It behaves well and is some of the best stuff that C&D produces without Burley. Flavor is grassy and bread-y, with just the right amount of natural sweetness. Strength is right in the Goldilocks zone as to be an all-day smoke. ♨︎ Tin Note reminds me precisely of the first time I ever smelled the inside of a fresh pack of unfiltered Camel cigarettes (in a very good way). As a side-note, C&D deserves praise for their tins. Unlike traditional round and flat or square ones—which admittedly look cooler—these tins keep the tobacco fresh. While I wouldn't age tobacco in an opened one, the plastic cap is perfectly suitable for storing tobacco that you plan on smoking within a month or two. That's a major bonus that is not often mentioned. ♨︎ THE NEGATIVE: Virginia flakes made by famed English houses G-H and S.G., as well as Rattray's in Germany and Mac Baren in Denmark, are all pressed far better than C&D's. It's almost an objective fact. The principle difference between C&D's flake "engineering" and that of those across the pond is simply time spent under pressure. I find this frustrating; they have the equipment to press more cohesive and solid flakes, but choose not to. I realize it would make production slower, but ultimately it'd be better in my not-so-humble opinion. Through extensive home experimentation, I've found that more time in the press makes for a better flake—better flavor, better aging, and more options when filling your pipe. I've taken C&D cakes and pressed them for up to seven days, and found they age better and develop noticeable changes more quickly. I believe this is due to the anaerobic environment created inside of a well-pressed cake or a plug. … … …With that rant aside, I will happily concede Union Square is a wonderful Virginia blend. It just may be my favorite C&D product. A reliably tasty smoke that's simple and good—and excellent when aged for more than two years—it is worthy of its praise and certainly of putting a few tins away for future enjoyment. Four stars for this one....Read More
