About This Pipe Tobacco
"A rich and satisfying cut cake comprising sweet, ripe Virginias, nutty Burleys, unflavored toasted black Cavendish, and a generous measure of Perique. A splash of dark rum ties it all together, and adds a bit more sweetness. As you enjoy this slow, clean-burning flake, you'll find hints of cocoa, black walnuts, and dried fruits enhancing complex, natural tobacco goodness. Full on the palate, with a delightful aroma. Enjoy smooth sailing with Windjammer." - Gregory Pease
Fans of G.L. Pease's Virginia-based blends like Haddo's Delight, Barbary Coast, and Fillmore are sure to enjoy this old-school navy flake pipe tobacco. Windjammer combines naturally sweet Virginias and nutty Burleys with a significant percentage of spicy Perique, married together and elevated by a splash of dark rum for a rich, flavorful smoke with notes of cocoa, black walnuts, and dried fruits. Toasted, unsweetened Cavendish serves as flour in a roux, allowing the blend's complex, rich flavor to stick on the palate from charring light to the bottom of the bowl.
Customer Reviews
My first bowl was smoked through a Missouri Meerschaum corncob pipe, and it a fantastic way to enter into the hobby. It was sweet, spicy, and coated the palate well. The smoke was thick, and it burnt well, lasting surprisingly longer than I would have imagined as an uninitiated novice. It was fun to analyze how the character of the bowl changed as it approached its end, and I really enjoyed the molasses notes and the resiliency of the spice.
Since that time, this has been a regular purchase for me. I have bought multiple 2oz tins and have decided I will now move on to the larger containers in the future. Beyond how it smokes on its own, it blends remarkably well with other tobaccos. I have mixed it with other G. L. Pease blends, C&D, Orlick, filler blends, etc.
I would highly recommend this blend to anyone wanting to try pipe tobacco and to anyone else who is more experienced. It has become a favorite of mine and my girlfriend who doesn't smoke, she just appreciates the warm, spicy aroma it fills the room with....Read More
