Perfectly blended
October 16, 2018
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
This is an excellent smoke. I don't smoke blends with Latakia often, primarily because it usually overtakes all other components of the blend. This is not the case here, as the Latakia hangs out in the back from start to finish very consistently. The... Read More
Virgina really shines in this blend for me, and it is high quality leaf. Nice sweet flavour, and dances just right with the Latakia. Visually a beautiful leaf and a very interesting cut, not quite rubbed not quite a flake. I don't rub it out anymore then it is and that smokes great for me. My favorite thing about this blend is it's smoothness. You can puff it like a locomotive and it won't bite at all. Moisture is perfect out of the tin. Smokes the best out of my old beat up grabow.

May well be the best thing I ever put in a pipe

Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
Mere words don't do this justice. I have searched for many years to find my perfect blend. Well, I believe this is it. Excellent quality leaf and damn near perfect blend. A true tobacco for the man who contemplates the world with a con in the clinch.... Read More

Favorite Of The Line!
September 30, 2016
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
I bought all seven of the different blends in this new Drucquer line. I've sampled four of the seven so far, trying to take my time with them instead of giving in to my urges. They all seem to be very good, but Blairgowrie impressed me right away a... Read More
s being different than the rest, and really excellent to boot. The others I smoked seemed to be various versions of pretty straightforward English blends of different strength. But Blairgowrie has a unique taste that sets itself apart. Even the cut, a mostly but not fully rubbed out flake, is different. The flavor is full and rich but not harsh. The nicotine levels is medium and the flavor reminds me a little of a rich, full bodied Maduro cigar. Light on the Latakia and Perique. Very well balanced. Delicious and easily something I'd smoke all day. Slow burning, it can be dried a bit to stay lit better. So far, this has impressed me the most, and the first of these that I look forward to re-ordering. Highly recommended!! Read Less

ted to the pages of history. Blairgowrie is fantastic. Creamy and smooth with no bite. It is an absolute pleasure to smoke. His blends almost all are composed of the same Virgina, Oriental, Latakia and Perique but he is able to use different proportions of leaves to achieve many unique flavors. It’s always hard to judge a tobacco on the first pipe. This just seems to get creamier and more complex with each bowl. Shipped with the perfect amount of moisture. After my false light the second light got it going and kept it going. No harsh taste in mouth after pipe Read Less
This blend has been the surprise of my pipe smoking life!

Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
This is a wonderful cohesive blend of quality tobaccos that meld together perfectly. I love the cut of the rubbed out flake. Blairgowie burns cool and dry to a powder. The taste is not heavy on my tongue. To me, this is an amazing composition that is... Read More
deserving of the highest accolades. After the initial light, I refrain from using my tamper. Instead, I run a match stick around the bowl for the ash to fall. The taste is mostly of Virginia and Orientals. The Latakia is used sparingly, which I like. The Perique is ever present in the background on every puff, which I enjoy. The Burley is present, but remains unaccounted for. I really like the way this blend just smoulders, producing a minimum amount of smoke. Blairgowie is delicious from start to finish. Thanks Greg.

Excellent Scottish With Old World Flavor
May 25, 2019
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 200g
Another example of G. L. Pease's blending ability. It's a tasty Scottish blend that has some punch & smokes mildly. I'd say it's perfectly blended... producing a subtle sweetness. Once you pop the lid & give a whiff, you know you're going to ... Read More
like it... that is, if you prefer these types of blends. The Red Virginias are the main player in this blend & the Cyprian Latakia is basically condimental. The mild, sweet Orientals lend some extra spice & flavor & play an important roll in this mixture. The Perique provides a subtle, sweet, fruity flavor.
The strength level is very close to the strong threshold which surprised me because it smokes so mildly. Read Less
Peaty and Sweet!
April 27, 2018
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
The first couple of bowls left me a bit unsure. However, whether I came to my senses or I just hit the right cadence, this blend came to life! It is wonderful! On first light you get a strong earthy, peaty taste right up front, and about a 1/3 of the... Read More
way down the virginias come forward with a wonderful sweet taste! I really couldn't believe it. Shane Ireland in his review had suggested leaving the broken bits of flake as is for a greater sweetness and he was right! Its fantastic! And by about 1/2 way down a wonderful bit of spice finds its way into the mix which I take to be the perique. A really wonderful blend. I highly recommend it Read Less

Great blend. Not a lat bomb. I don't like strong lat based English blends. This one is mild. Levant is much, much stronger. I love the subtlety of this blend. It's just right for me. If you want strong get Levant.
A good benchmark
November 13, 2019
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
Not too light and not overpowering, Blairgowrie is, as Golidlocks would say, just right. A good benchmark on which to compare other English/Scottish blends.
Robust Indeed, But Creamy
October 20, 2019
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
This blend is a creamy, sweet and savory mix. It's really spicy, yet creamy notes, bready, fruity notes balance it out . The Latakia never overshadows the other tobaccos, and what you get is an interesting, multifaceted flavor experience. It seems t... Read More

Nuanced, Dry Fruit
November 28, 2018
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 200g
I let a jar age for two years and it resulted in a profoundly satisfying smoke. The perique and Virginia complemented each other in a way that produced rich notes of figs, apricots, and plum, with a mild and subtle sweetness proper of high grade Virg... Read More

This is a great English blend for those who like virginia sweetness. An excellent medium bodied slow puffer for occasions that provoke deeper contemplation.

A great beginning
August 16, 2018
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
This is the first of these blends that I have tried and it is a great start. The first thing I thought on opening the tin was whiskey. Paring the blend with a Bruchladdie Port Charlotte and smoking it out of a Ropp Vintage proved a good experience. T... Read More
he Latakia does not over power and most of the time. I could not separate the various tobacco flavors as they had so throughly mixed together that all I tasted was the blend. The only way I knew there was Perique there was on the retrohale when it’s presence becomes well known. All in all a great blend Read Less

ENGLISH vs. VAPER - - by "G - man"

Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 200g
This is a great, very different, pungent, fruity, spiced smoke. Keeps changing throughout the bowl, which is a good thing. Seems more like a VAPER than English. My thoughts would be to increase the orientals, which I'll try myself. That may allow ... Read More

This Tobacco is a great one. I hold it in a very high regard.
Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
For a smoker who smokes primarily medium blends, Blairgowrie is overwhelming... even after a meal. Aged 3 months it is still too strong to identify any of the tobaccos in the blend. Perhaps another 3 months in the cellar will mellow it.

A Solid Blend

Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g

The Tin Don't Lie

Product: Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie 100g
This is Superior Tobacco.
Complex flavor profile. That keeps you guessing. Bold and robust but never overpowering. Fairly forgiving with no bite and almost no relights ever being required.
Perfect

Re-reviewing this tobacco- I am convinced now that this is the best pipe tobacco blend one can acquire at any time of year. Absolutely perfect.
