Full of Flavor
April 14, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
This is my second week of pipe-smoking, yes I am a beginner. This is the most flavorful blend that I have smoked so far out of several other blends. I will definitely be ordering some more of this. For beginning pipe smokers this is a blend for me th... Read More
at is not too strong but full of flavor. I have found if I smoke it too fast it will tend to bite a little bit and hot. If I take my time and treated with respect and go easy with it I think you will find it absolutely amazing. So far this is the top of my list number one favorite pipe blend. Read Less
Balkan Beauty
November 17, 2017
Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
This is admittedly my first dive into the Balkan blend, but I can say without a doubt this is one of the better tobaccos I have smoked. The flavor is assertive: smokey and savory are descriptors that come to mind. The room note is great as well. My w... Read More
ife complimented me on the pleasing aroma, and I rather liked the way the smoke made my jacket smell the next day. Two thumbs up, you would be remiss not to try this blend. Read Less
Bold, Richly Flavored and Refined Balkan
February 20, 2020
Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 8oz
A very rich, dark and bold flavor profile; this is a moderately fired latakia with a good depth of dark stoved VA and oriental sweetness. The oriental is stoved, and so the brighter - sour, verdant and zesty notes are subdued, however the sweetness ... Read More
is greater and it retains a slight butteriness. The entire profile of this is similar to that of the last 1/3 of a bowl of English; Smoky, dark, caramelized sweetness and butter. Nic is 2.5 out of 5 Read Less

中段开始的奶油蘑菇汤味道令人着迷

劲道2.8 饱满度3.8 室韵 3.0
GLP的一款经典调配，这是一款巴尔干调配，秉承了巴尔干调配一贯的特色，VOL的融合很均衡。前段有着较为刺激的辛辣感，主线风味除辛辣感外并没有除传统巴尔干调配外明显的特色。中段开始，辛辣感减弱到非常低，这时开始，一股类似于奶油蘑菇汤的韵味出现，淡淡的咸味搭配中等的甜度以及奶味，这样的味道真的是非常的美味！尾段开始，甜度略微降低，但是主线仍然是奶味和甜味。嘴里的奶油余韵抽完斗后余留了很久。这款草的中段及中后段个人感受非常好。整体的燃烧和烟气斗温表现也在非常好的... Read More

Smokey, smooth and delicious. Not as bold as expected. Simply perfect.
A Favorite!

Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 8oz
My normal rotation consists of heavy Latakia blends like Gas Light, Pirate Kake etc. However, this blend comes across with a terrific flavor from the red and yellow Virginias and Orientals. They are not too spicy or sweet and blend well with the lata... Read More
kia creating an earthy and unique flavor that I loved since the first bowl. This is not my normal style of tobacco and I have tried other “Balkin” blends but everything I found so far was too spicy or “hot” until now. This blend has “lightened up” my normally latakia heavy list of tobaccos and fills a void in my rotation. Read Less

Great English

Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
This blend is to me an all day English blend. This is a totally balanced tobacco that will appeal to the latakia lover and the English purest. This blend is a ribbon cut and the moisture content was smoke ready out of the tin. To me the Virginia and ... Read More

Very smooth, cool, and full flavored blend without being overwhelming. It's always on my top tobacco list.
One of my first blends.

Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
I've been smoking pipes for about 20 yrs and one of my first blends was Abingdon. I was new to pipe smoking and loved the blend so I bought a lot of it. As is the way of pipes I began trying a lot of other blends and have had many favorites. Somew... Read More
here along the way I stopped smoking Abingdon.....until recently. I have 10 tins that have about 15 yrs or so on them and I figured I'd go see what they had become. Well, where I had expected a dead smoke I found a really lovely balanced smooth english that I am just crazy about. Perhaps a little less latakia forward than in its youth, maybe more of an oriental feel to it. But really delicious. So don't be afraid to let this one sit for a while. It does really well with age. My opinion of course...... Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
I find that the orientals play a much more dominant role in this than in many other balkans. The latakia is there and is mildly smokey and silky smooth. The Virginias are doing there thing adding a slight sweetness to the blend working well with the ... Read More

After one bowl I am hooked.This is a masterful tobacco with a pleasing subtle sweetness. This and Westminster have become fast favorites with the edge going to Abingdon. Great job Mr.Pease.....again !

Well done G.L.Pease

Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
This is a great blend. Latakia up front but not over whelming, then the Orientals take center stage, with a hint of Virginia sweetness. It has varying degrees of complexity and it stays interesting through the entire bowl.
Fantastic!!

This is why pipe smoking was invented. This is a delicious easy smoking English blend wonderful flavoring. It is on the mild side. There some sweetness, and smokiness with a smidge creaminess, but no tongue bite.
A Big Balkan Blend
November 16, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
Abingdon is a rich, full-bodied, and bold Balkan mixture. It’s an assertive blend, yet subtle and sophisticated. Dark notes of leather and smoldering wood intertwine with softer undercurrents of earthy sweetness while the Orientals offer a fragrant h... Read More
erbal quality to the blend. Abingdon is a robust mixture blended with finesse. A light hand is recommended when packing. Overall, a very well balanced, flavorful Balkan offering from G.L. Pease. Read Less
An old favorite that's still easy to find.
September 08, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
With so many great tobaccos becoming increasingly hard to find in stock (Esoterica, Sobranie, Germain's, etc.), it's nice to see G.L. Pease: Abingdon is still around and easy to purchase. I started smoking Abingdon some time in the early 00s I believ... Read More
e, I remember it was a relatively new blend then that I enjoyed from my first bowl. It became an instant favorite along with many of Pease's early blends (many of which, as Padre Piper would say “Ain't der no more”). Abingdon always stood out to me. It is similar to Balkan Sobranie and (then Butera's) Pelican, so it's a smooth, creamy, smokey, cool mixture that is excellent for a long slow mellow smoke session. The Latakia and Orientals are blended perfectly with some tasty Virginia to provide a ton of flavor. It tastes like the best leaf possible is used with never a compromise. It seems deceptively simple, but is actually probably a tricky blend to pull off unless you're the talented Mr. Pease. While there are similar tasting blends out there, most are high priced imports and rarely available. Abingdon is not only a fantastic English blend, but one that you can rely on finding easily and at a reasonable price. I'm glad to say this has a place in my rotation. Enjoy. Read Less
Pease's "Nightcap"
August 30, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
This blend reminds me of a line from 43rd Bengal Lancers: "May be too strong for Forsythe: late of the 'Blues'." This is a strong blend, and no mistake. The tin note is smoky, meaty, and makes no bones about it. I did not find any fruity presence wha... Read More
tever.
Mechanically, this blend was harder to smoke. It seemed either to go out easily or to burn hot without much prompting. That could be due to my inexperience and poor technique but I did try to vary my pipes and my packing style. It was flavourful (mostly campfire, smoked meat and roasted nuts) and kept the flavour consistently through the bowl. It had a medium-strong nic-kick. The room note is dark and nutty, but also smoky. The wife did not like it.
All in all, it reminded me of Dunhill's "Nightcap", the quintessential Latakia for many smokers. And to those smokers I would highly recommend this blend as an alternative to that waning apogee. To others, particularly lightweights, I would say be aware of the strength this blend. But make no mistake: this blend is, like all of Pease's work, of genuine quality.
Cheers to all! Read Less
Updated Review

Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 8oz
After a slow start Abingdon is becoming my favorite Lat blend ever. Why my first couple of bowls seemed dull remains a mystery but now that I'm half-way through the tin I really enjoy it. I'll order an 8oz. can next.
Shows Promise
July 14, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Abingdon 2oz
My first two bowls, in and Ashthon and a Peterson were bland and not appealing. Subsequent tries in an Eltang, a Dunhill, and a Ferndown were quite nice with a full but not overwhelming Latakia taste.
Did not fail to please

I had read about this blend many times. I love latakia, but for some reason, I have passed on this blend. Finally, a buddy brought some to try. The tin note was exquisite. The latakia and orientals seem to call to you. The moisture level was optimal ... Read More
and the mechanics of packing and lighting went well. The charring light was indicative of the awesomeness to come. This was a great balanced latakia smoke. It burned a little fast, but the experience was near perfection from light to dottle. Read Less
