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.
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
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 flavorin... Read More
g 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 Less

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

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.
Nice American-Style Virginia "Flake"
December 28, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill 2oz
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 S... Read More
quare 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 Less
