G. L. Pease - Sixpence 8oz
Excelent Vaperky
So I have come to really enjoy Vaperky blends after smoking for over a decade now. Have tried quite a few. Sixpence really surprised me! It is a very tasty blend. Even after just a few days in the jar after opening, it is very flavorful and very well behaved. I suggest letting it air out for about 10 minutes before packing a bowl. I also recommend a tall, narrow bowl. I have been smoking this blend in a Dagner poker cob; it smokes like a dream. Rubs out very easily, just rolling it around in the hand, and is not very picky with how you pack. I use the three-step method, and it has not failed me. This is a dark Virginia blend. It is not green and grassy like lighter Virginias. I have yet to put any in the cellar, but I will soon. I can only imagine what this blend would be like with over a year on it. My 4.5 would easily go to a 5. The taste is complex. I see where they talk about the taste being reminiscent of a library of old books and whatnot. Kentucky brings a little fullness and a very nice body to the blend. If you have held back on smoking/purchasing this blend, just buy it! You will thank me later. Has not bitten me once, and it can be forgiving to a fast smoker. Although I suggest taking your time with it. Three small sips followed by a nice retrohale is just divine. I would lean towards this being an all-day smoke, given how gentle it is on the tongue and how unpowerful its flavor is. I've paired with Mexican lagers, green tea, and even Crystal Light-flavored water, and nothing has taken away from this guy's flavor. Just a nice reflective blend. Oh, and it will be used to break in pipes; the ash on this tobacco is very nice. Not as good as, say, Sunset Harbor Flake, but a worthy contender to break in.
