Smokey and Amazing!
May 13, 2017
Product: G. L. Pease Westminster 2oz
Smokey, rich, and everything you want a on a brisk fall night. I was given a sample of this from a friend, and once finished I immediately ordered some and brought it into my rotation. Heavier on the Latikia side than I would have thought, but still ... Read More
those orientals find their way into the mix. I've heard this could be an all day smoke, but I usually like to end my day with it. The strength of the nic isn't going to push you over however, if you're looking for that I'd go with nightcap. This is my "sit by the fire and contemplate writing the great american (or english, I guess?) novel" blend. Full flavored, and feels like you're sinking your teeth into a rich, and savory treat.

This is easily the best English style tobacco I smoke. It's easy to pack and light, and produces very nice clouds of smoke. Has an emphasis on smokey Latakia with a hint of sweetness in the background. A delightful smoke any time of day, but parti... Read More

Product: G. L. Pease Westminster 2oz
This Blend is nice as it has a smooth start, and pleasant finish, but unlike Abingdon, this one is sour, not sweet.
A good morning English, with a nice bit of spice, and cooling finish.
A definite must buy!
Product: G. L. Pease Westminster 2oz
味道比较单一但是输出稳定，就是大多数L草都具有的风味，淡淡的奶香和一丝丝的柑橘香味，中段木质香味，口感不是很浓郁和965味道大差不差，忧点是劲道比较小，调配感觉不是那么丰富厚重。

Awesome go to English
January 26, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Westminster 2oz
This blend is awesome, Smokey (Latakia) with sweet/incense/spice from the orientals coming to the forefront throughout the smoke. A good Balkan blend, very similar to White Knight. Although I do prefer White Knight over this blend.
Consistenently good.

Product: G. L. Pease Westminster 2oz
Absolutely deserving of all of the positive reviews. From tin to tin, Westminster is a consistently good blend. Not a "lat bomb", nor is it overly sweet. As close to perfect as an English/Balkan can get.

Elegant, Refined, Remarkably Balanced
February 10, 2020

Elegant and refined, Westminster is a remarkably well balanced mixture which is richly aesthetic and generously flavored. The Orientals are redolent with a woody, verdant/floral incense. They are slightly piquant and savory. The Virginia ascends as... Read More
time passes, to reveal a soft sweetness with occasional sparks of bright citrus to counter the dark, creamy, leathery, cedar-laden smoky Latakia, which never boasts, but rather complements the latter components. The aggregate of such consummately refined leaf suggests… no, obliges with a slow contemplative smoke. Medium body and nicotine, the flavor is elegantly rich and full, though not intense. The best Balkan available today - hands down. Pease has captured the essence of the old London Mixture and crafted an exceptional and traditional English. Embellishment, as witnessed throughout the tobacco world, may seize our attention temporarily, but the undeniable appreciation and admiration for beauty discovered in the most elemental, primary or basic, compels long-term devotion. Well done Mr. Pease. Read Less

Cigar lover that is new to pipe smoking (8 months new), and so far this is my favorite blend. I started out with light aromatics and quickly became board. I would say the first quality pipe tobacco I really liked was Dunhill's London Mixture. I wa... Read More
s blown away by the combination of Latakia and orientals. When I told my tobacconist how much I loved it and I wanted to try similar blends, he recommended Westminster. This blend is really really good, and is now my #1 favorite. If you like musty, smokey flavors with that tang of oriential leaf give this a try. Its really smooth also and everything blends together nicely. For comparison purposes I would say this is a bit darker and richer than London Mixture, and more savory than Plum Pudding (which I think is just a hint on the sweet side). Hope this helps boys. Enjoy! Read Less

nd after different meals. I have had many English tobaccos in my experience and this is one I'll forget about and never buy again.
The cut is rather coarse; colossal chunks with many stems in the tin. As many others have found to be the case, I too had trouble keeping this tobacco lit. The flavour has potential, but it only came through with extreme rubbing of the blend in order to thin it out. So all three factors combined made this an unfortunate but learning experience. I don't like to criticize any brand at all, but there were too many negatives with this blend, and there are many fine tobaccos on the market to choose from. Read Less

This latakia is not cake-like, but is stuffed with ribbon-cut leaves up to the scraping of the can. The taste is very good. It is comparable to Pirate Kake, and I would buy a lot of it again if G.L. Pease had a sale.
It’s a good one!

ul ribbon cut with absolutely perfect moisture. I smoked it in a Ropp pipe with a fairly small chamber, and wasn't terribly impressed. I then started working through the pipes I reserve for blends with latakia, and it smokes like a dream in a big bent pot and in a Dublin I have. I've been smoking at least one bowl a day of this for over a week. It's actually helped me become a better pipe smoker. I've slowed down my cadence and it's made all the difference. I often want to just puff like a freight train, but now that I know that I am capable of smoking slowly, I'm doing it more often. This is a beautiful, dry smoke. It's a little incensey, it's a little smokey, and to be honest, it's almost gone. I will be ordering this on a regular basis from here on out. A true "All Day English." Read Less

time! This is a near perfect smoke. It has that same "red" character as DLM. Yeasty, like an irish ale. Almost nutty to my palate, redolent with red Va. Wonderfully aromatic turkish adds just the right amount of sour and the latakia is slightly more than condimental. The cut is much more of a ribbon than other C&D made english blends which, for me, makes the act of smoking it much more pleasurable. The latakia presents more toward the finish of the bowl. A medium smoke, but in no way mediocre. Now if I could just find analogues for the list of McClelland blends I'm missing.. Read Less

August 20, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Westminster 2oz

able to pack it properly. It seemed dissatisfied with a light pack and a heavier pack, three pinch or the Frank method. I had trouble lighting it and keeping it lit. It burned hot almost every time, and its palate offering turned out to be rather limited. I did not find any bright flavours, just wood smoke and light taste. Even though it did give off a substantial volume of creamy smoke, that did not endear me to this blend. Perhaps I shall look at it differently some years from now.
I still recommend this blend to others. This is not my cup of tea, but I am not the only tea drinker alive. I know long-time smokers who adore this blend. Give it a puff.

I suppose, could be called humble -- but most definitely not meek; a few sonorous tones fluidly interweave, and then leave, a mellow-deep aftertaste. I find it singularly odd and pleasing that the word that most comes to mind when I think of this tobacco is, rotund.
Alas, there was a day not too long in the past, when the afternoon concluding in an ethereally gloomy dusk, I puffed on a pipe of Westminster, and it blossomed to a truly exceptional smoke. I mean to say, that despite some meadiocre bowls, do not lose hope (that cheap thing, sweet thing) too soon, as perhaps the moment most suited for that particular leaf has not come.
In response to Mark G: I almost always dry (using the heat of the sun, a pre-warmed oven, heater, or fire) my tobaccos to a moistureless fluffyness (avoiding scorching them to the point when they become crisp and crumbled to dust) for a well-burning smoke. And certainly increasing the surface area available to combustion (that is cutting it up) will increase the ease of burning -- when I roll fags of pipe tobacco (Westminster does not make a good cigarette alone however) I always do this.

I was really disappointed with this blend after reading so many positive reviews. Again it is just my opinion and perhaps others will enjoy it.
Not my cup of tea!

Sorry I just did not fall in love with this blend. I found it a little dry and rather rough. I must admit I am not an "English" blend smoker so my opinion is just that, mine.
Reliably Fulfilling.

Westminster has never failed to produce a good, solid, English smoke for me. I have yet to experience a truly GREAT pipe full of it, but I have never had a less than a pleasing one. To me, that is worth 4 stars; just not a consistently GREAT 5.

I absolutely love this blend and will definitely cellar some. Tastes like it would only get better with time. This blend is as British as a Union Jack. Tastes and smells like an aristocrat's study. A must-try for any English blend fan.
