Excellent Blend
March 22, 2014
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 8oz
Didn't see any comments for this, and I feel this smoke deserves one. The wonderful finish is what sets this apart from others. It is a lighter tasting smoke than others that I have tried and, thus, very enjoyable for warm summer days. That is not to... Read More
downplay its complexity and aroma. I would pair this with good porters, IPA's, or after a meal of fish or chicken. Read Less
Solid blend
October 17, 2015
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
Great Vaper. I prefer McC's Saint James Woods & 2015, my staples but this blend has grown on me a great deal. I like Kajun Kake but find it too strong in nicotine. Telegraph Hill has a great flavor but mild-medium nicotine so is better for me.
Good Blend but Mild
February 21, 2015
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
I felt this was a rather mild blend. The tin note is an exsquisite sweet grassy raisin. The pack is easy enough and it lights easily. It requires a patient sipping of the pipe lest it burn hot. Even then when pushed the sweetness lingers. There is al... Read More
so a faint oliv oil note. he aroma from the pipe is pleasant and not too strong for those around. A good all around smoke. Worth a try. Read Less
VaPer Benchmark
August 27, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
This blend is great both fresh and with some age. TH has a strong back bone but is by no means overpowering. There is a bit of dark fruit, spice and maybe even a bit of a bread like flavor. This is certainly worth giving a spot in the rotation.

As a smoke, low maintenance. Burns well with little attention. Virginia’s have a sweet/sour thing going on with some spice from the perique, overall a very good tobacco flavor.
Great Smoke

Mild va-per. Bit more flavour than Elizabethan? Not mutch else to say. It wasn't bad, I just like a lot of others more.
Takes some smoking

Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
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
April 01, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
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 i... Read More
t often. If you like this, you will also like GL Pease's Fillmore, which is also a VaPer but in broken flake form. Read Less
Unpleasant
February 21, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
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.
Great Taste but a Lousy Presentation
December 28, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
This is a great-tasting VA-Per that leans toward the dry-tasting, grassy end of the VA-Per spectrum, not the hot-pressed variety. The flavors and colors of the Virginias are very similar to those of Union Square. There's just the right moisture leve... Read More
l in it, and it's cut into very thin ribbons—bordering on a shag cut—and I really like that. It makes for a great burn and evenness of flavor. The nicotine strength is just south of medium, as is the flavor. Its Perique content is in the Goldilocks zone for a VA-Per. I do howver have a major issue with this blend; the Perique is cut poorly, and it has me scratching my head why. This particular 2oz tin is rife with BIG Perique stems. In the middle of my tin there was the remnants of a stem with veins, all curled-up, seemingly not even touched by the cutting machinery. With G.L. Pease, I've come to expect stems here and there, but these are unacceptably big, long, and (most importantly) un-smokable stems. A smoker shouldn't have to fish through a tin to remove stems, period. Because of this, I really can't give it a proper rating. Without all the stems, I'd give it a solid four star rating. Without a doubt, I'd buy more of this IF I were guaranteed that the stem content was cut down to an acceptable amount. Once I finished fishing out the stems and picked the leaves off of them, I can't deny that what I got was a delicious smoke. Read Less
