Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 8oz
就在此刻，我一边抽吸这款新打开的烟草，一边写着我的第一感受。我是一个甜食爱好者，而联合广场给予我的便是非常喜悦的甜味，这极大地满足了我的个人口味。第二，对于一斗新开的V草，如此轻微的咬舌也是一种喜悦，可想而知窖藏之后的这方面一定会更加令人满意。第三，烟灰非常漂亮，近乎完美的白色，在几乎没有醒草的情况下，刚开始点火烧困难，但后续良好。前段过鼻有明亮的刺激，但是中段变得醇厚而温和，韵味很丰富。但整体上有些顶喉，这应该是新草的原因。已8OZ 放入购物车，强烈推荐给喜欢甜味的斗友们！

Love Virginia straight blends but this one does meet what you do look when smoking this type of tobacco. Straight flavours from the best quality leaves. Full flavour, excellent packing and superb smoke. Strongly recommend

这款烟草力道很足，会有明显的顶喉感，老烟客可能会喜欢，但是对新手不大友好，需要小口慢慢品尝，然而这款烟草的中段味道我很喜欢。还会购买

I recommend a year, not a month, of age for this one. When fresh, it tastes green. The more age the better. I found the overall taste to be mild Virginia. The nicotine, however, that was a killer buzz!
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
If you want to compare apples to apples, this is very similar to C&D Opening Night. I like this marginally better as to my taste there's more reds and less brights, making for a better flavor profile. I tend to smoke a lot of Capstan, Yorktown and Du... Read More

A Bit of a Let Down, But Still Very Good
November 28, 2022
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
Not bad, but not great either. It has a great room note and the finish is clean, but I guess I expected more from a Greg Pease blend. It has the same nuance as Cornell and Diehl Red VA Ribbon and Yorktown... perhaps even a little less than Yorktown... Read More
. I'd advise those two in bulk and cellaring rather than spending more $$ on this one. There's an added sweetness to this - perhaps invert sugar or honey? The bready, sweet, smooth and slight tanginess is there but not to any astounding degree. It's a more natural, albeit sweetened, nuance.
There's a balsa wood flavor here and there which equates to a cellulosic, sterile kinda thing. If you want something special and memorable... Sam Gawith Full VA Flake and Mac Baren HH Virginia are the two which hold the crown. You know you've got something with those at first light. This is good, but don't expect that sweet-feed thing that makes your mouth water and say WOW... this just isn't it. It's solid/consistent, better than average and comforting, but so is Yorktown, at half the price. Nic is 2 out of 5. Read Less

Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
It wasn't an enjoyable smoke for me. Flavor profile is just nice but only "nice"...not terribly interesting. The tobacco is predictably hard to keep lit, plus because it's so strong I had to be a little more considerate and calculated in ho... Read More
w I smoked it so that it didn't knock me on my behind. The calculated smoking, and constant relighting made it feel like work to smoke this stuff. Which wouldn't be terrible, except that the work didn't reward me with a flavor worth the annoyance. Too much work, too little reward. I'll pass. Tell you the truth, there are much better, and richer Virginias out there that are 2 to 3 bucks cheaper. I don't know how G.L. Pease commands these price points. Most of the blends don't live up to them. Read Less

A Full Va flake with a good Nic hit. Delicious. Can bite if smoked too vigorously. Not an all day smoke but one of the best straight virginias I have ever had the opportunity to enjoy.

ium to strong and nic is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of strong spiced bread, wood, mild earth, mild sweet grass, mild floral, very mild tart lemon, very mild orange bitter and a mild peppery retro.

Broke out the Dunhill, 1955 Craggy Prince on this one. Tin note was pleasant and cut was pleasing. I'm thinking it will age really well. When I saw the SP article on the 12 best G.L. Pease tobaccos, I already had 7 in my arsenal. This wasn't in there... Read More
, but it is now. My tins had 10 months of age. I can tell by how a bowl starts out that it needs a tad more age. I smoke plenty of aged, so it helps me figure out how much time I need in the cellar. Perhaps a month longer in the humidor, and it will be a half star better. Yep, half star better after one month. Enjoy yourselves. Read Less

A little too bright
February 02, 2021
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
I like this one. There is plenty of Virginia sweetness, but more Bright than Red. My tastes lean more towards Red Virginia, so this didn't entirely work for me. Still, I'm cellaring some to try in a few years.

A full Virginia this well balanced and delicious deserves to be savored and sipped. I have been smoking this even in hot weather and it is a delightful companion. It burns very well after an initial char light, and the slightly loose and broken flake... Read More
rubs easily and packs without fussing. The flavor goes to the darker, tangier side of Virginia for me and when sipped slowly it will yield up a lot of nuance and a very nice, satisfying aftertaste. I'm sure it would be even better with some age on it, but I don't believe it needs it. It's great straight out of the tin. Wonderful stuff. Read Less

From the nose when the can is first opened to the first puff this is a grassy virginia smokers tobacco. Definitely an all day smoke. One that will stay in my rotation.

sents with a light cinnamon note which compliments the blend as a whole. There are hints of hay and a spritz of citrus that play around in the background, but primarily it’s the creamy cinnamon sugar. The repeatability of this blend is very high; I’ve been smoking essentially nothing else since I received my tin, multiple bowls a day. No fatigue to be found. A generally cool smoking blend which takes a light well and burns, without fail, to the heel. Read Less

Virginia Nirvana
December 11, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
The tin note backs up the claim about Union Square being a blend of unadulterated virginias. In the tin, it offers a very pure, understated, fermented hay, grass and honeysuckle aroma. The sweetness is embedded deep into the smell.
First light and t... Read More
he first 1/4 of the bowl tells an entirely different story, though, as it is pretty flavorful from the get-go. Probably the most surprising element of the flavor profile is the oh-so-welcome virginia sweet spice. It's a taste that I am absolutely in love with, and one that I regularly look for in every bowl of virginia flake, from any blender, I smoke. In Union Square, it maybe the only constant that accompanies tens of other variable nuances that come in and fade out during the smoke. And the best part is, it stays with you throughout the entire bowl. My Savinelli Tundra 673 Smooth loves almost all virginia flakes (it is the very pipe I first fell in love with the Dunhill Flake) but that pipe + this blend is almost guaranteed virginia nirvana! Another surprising aspect of the experience is the coolness of the smoke. My 673 Tundra is a smooth finish, and smooth finish pipes usually get hotter than rusticated ones, regardless of your technique. Not with this blend. It never gets any hotter than that pleasant warmness that is a part of pipe smoking enjoyment. Tongue bite is so absent that you might even forget being bit in the past! Preparing this tobacco is also very straightforward. It comes pretty moist, mind you, but I've found out that drying it out is completely unnecessary, as is rubbing it out; simply take 3-4 stripes of flakes (this is a broken flake, so the strips are pretty thin and crumbly) and fold and stuff, snug but not tight. Even despite the moisture level that might intimidate even the experienced virginia flake smoker, it lights up and stays lit very very easily. Cadence is not critical but retrohaling is: the more you retrohale, the more flavorful Union Square becomes, and it starts rewarding you with mild but obvious flavors of vanilla-iy chewing gums of the past (not the sugar-free, overly sweet stuff we have nowadays.) It burns very slowly, and even in a pipe as small-bowled as the Savinelli 673, it takes about 1.5 hours to turn into pure ash. The finish does not get bitter as it usually does with even the best virginia flakes. My tin was pretty fresh, and I can't imagine what some aging can do for this stuff (although I am seriously intending to hoard some and find out!) No, it is not for the newbies, and nor it is a way to ease into virginias for the smokers of aromatic cavendish blends; but it is pure virginia nirvana for the experienced smoker. Read Less

red Virginias along with a little bit of a baked bread flavor, and the bright Virginias brought a little bit of fresh hay along with the light sweetness. I wouldn't call it a complex blend, it's really quite simple, but the flavors are subtle even by the standard of Virginia blends. This will end being a favorite of mine and I can't wait to age some.

Tin aroma lightly tangy with some hints of sweetness and hay. Flavor is a nice Virginia tobacco with a slight sweetness and hints of spice and hay/grass. A really good blend.

Have not had it with any significant age yet, however fresh - beats the pants off OGS & Dunhill Flake. A bit more to it body-wise & more complex
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
This tobacco has a very bright and complex flavor when smoked fresh. I have not had it with any substantial age to it, but I can only imagine how fantastic it will be with a couple of years on it.

flavor. I set this tin aside for others in my stash. Three years later I decided to uncover it from my stack of tins. Wow. It's awesome. Medium bodied with more deep Virginia sweetness. Pleasant aroma with occasional citrus flavors. Very complex. If puffed vigorously the nicotine spice tingle increases. No bite and burns very cool despite my poor packing that caused me to draw more heavily. I would highly recommend this blend but give it time, like, a lot of time.
