LOST IN TRANSLATION

March 20, 2025

By: Scott F.

Product: G. L. Pease The Virginia Cream 2oz

I opened my first tin of this this morning on my drive in to work. The tin note is a pleasant vanilla/bourbon which is the desired result given the topping. But that's where the enjoyment ends. Now, full disclosure, G.L Pease is one of my first loves. I learned how to appreciate the complexities of 'baccy on Quiet Nights and have ordered a lot of Pease tins for my cellar. But this was bitter and harsh right out of the tin, which I contribute to the VA's in it, and didn't get much better. No harm nor foul there. You have to know how to take VA's if you're going to smoke them. After burning off the topping, I settled into more of the Perique which did improve the smoke a little. There was also the agitation in the retrohale which often comes with the addition of DFK in the blend. At the end of the day, a smoke should be enjoyable. That's what keeps us pipers coming back for more. This blend just doesn't translate. Prov. 3:5,6...Read More

This Cream didn't rise to the Top

3rd tin from G. L. Pease. All quality tobacco. While I perceived occasional subtle tinges of sweetness, I could not discern the vanilla. The bourbon was easier to latch onto, perhaps when I caught some of the fired Kentucky. I am glad I tried it, but do not see this being a repeat purchase. Not a reflection of the quality of the tobacco, just not a blend I found particularly noteworthy above so many other great blends, particularly by G.L. Pease....Read More

** UPDATED** What Happened?!

March 25, 2024

UPDATED 4/1/24: After letting this breath for a few days, the bourbon and vanilla notes are back on top and I'm enjoying this once again. I should've known better than to arrive at a conclusion prior to letting this breath, but I figured oxygen would remove those topping notes rather than amplify them. If you're on the fence after purchasing this and The Virginia Cream doesn't meet your expectations; place the lid on it and let it sit for a week. Try it again and you'll be surprised at how those bourbon and vanilla notes bloom. I think it's a testament as to how Jeremy Reeves reduces the sauce and concentrates the flavors (his background is culinary). Thank you to Mr. Reeves for his response and willingness to correct an issue. C&D once again outshines ANY blending house in both product and service. 3/25/24 Review: Oh no... this is perhaps among my top 3 favorites and so I was shocked when I opened a tin dated 2/8/24, with little to no bourbon and barely a whisper of vanilla. This lacks the explosion of flavorful toppings and is quickly fading into the generic realm of the overpopulated, run-of-the-mill, bland VA mixtures. This resembles nothing more than Yorktown with added DF, Perique and Black Cavendish. It's more spicy than creamy now as there's too much Perique... what gives? Shouldn't there be more Black Cavendish and just a touch of Perique, in order to nuance a creamy texture and ever so slightly spicy finish? The charismatic flavor and texture is gone. What happened? C&D does toppings like no other, yet it's not present in this now. Vanilla... there should be an equally strong vanilla note to this but that too is gone. Maybe a I got a bad batch, but I hope they didn't change the recipe. I absolutely love this stuff; the sweet & grassy VA, a charred oak DF Kentucky, creamy Black Cavendish, a tinge of spicy finish from the perique, and all encompassed by a strong bourbon and vanilla... it's a sweet and savory delight that presents a flavorful, all-day treat. I hope they didn't change the recipe and this is just a one-off. I'll contact them and find out what's going on and perhaps wait until the next batch to reorder....Read More

Easy Smoke

I love this blend because it's so easy going. I can smoke it anytime from first thing in the morning until night. The hardy tobacco used is rounded out by a beautiful vanilla flavor. Great for a quick "pick-me-up" smoke, and will surely lighten your spirit

Not for me!

unfortunately for me i couldnt even finish a bowl and ended up giving this away. I had no feelings or admiration for this blend at all. I love virginias, i love vanilla and i love bourbon, however, this blend was all wrong for me.

If you’ve ever actually tasted good bourbon and not just done shots of it😑. Then you will immediately upon opening the tin be greeted with that sweet vanilla caramel familiarity. At first light the vanilla will spread over the palate washing away all but the moment . As you continue on the spicy oak of the DFK greets you with a friendly reminder this isn’t a cavendish aro. By the bottom of the bowl your left wondering what to call this experience and all of that comes to mind is …...Read More

Wow

Wow what a treat! I get a lovely sweet vanilla taste that doesnt taste like vanilla flavoring but more like vanilla ice cream. That along side with mild citrusy hay like viginias is truly wonderful. One of the best blends I've tried so far.

If you love DFK

Product: G. L. Pease The Virginia Cream 2oz

Everything starts great, but then the DFK comes to the party in force and overwhelmes the delicate bourbon-vanilla. I find this DFK dominance gets stronger as the bowl goes on. I wish it was applied with a lighter hand. The word 'cream' in the name is to me misleading, as there is a harsh edge that has remained for two years. I'm disappointed but you may love it...Read More
