Another excellent one from GL Pease

Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
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

While I cannot attest to how this blend tastes out of a fresh tin, I can say that the 8 year old tin I popped open was absolutely excellent. The aging potential for this blend is incredible. it has a whole spectrum of flavors and depth. pure virgini... Read More

Strong Stuff
February 17, 2013
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
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
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.

Overall I’m really impressed with this blend. Even with the youthful edge C&D production has until they get a few years under their belt, this is highly enjoyable. Sweet cream mixes with the red spice which, as is the usual with C&D reds, pre... Read More
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 Blending Masterpiece

Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz

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

Really like this! No tongue-bite. Just an easy all-day smoker. Nothing complex, just really solid.
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！

Good Virgina That Needs a Little Aging for Best Results
March 07, 2019
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
The above rating is from a new open tin. The red Virginias predominate in an new tin, resulting in a bit of harshness, especially for more aggressive puffers. The darker tones tend to squelch the sweetness of the Virginias. I noticed this especially... Read More
when comparing to a 5-year old tin that I opened to compare. Let those sugars ferment a bit, and I would then give this tobacco a 4.5 rating. It also needs a wee bit of drying for best results. Recommended. Read Less
A lot of work. Little reward
February 13, 2019
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

Smooth and subtle
November 23, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
This is about as natural a flavor as i've ever tasted in a pipe tobacco. I can't taste any noticeable added flavors, and the sweetness is VERY light, and doesn't hide any of the more subtle flavors underneath. I mostly tasted the earthiness of the ... Read More
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.

It's taken a few tins and some time to consider where I stood with this blend. In the end, the earthy purity of it got to me. Though it may never find a spot in my rotation, Union Square remains a rustic curiosity among Virginias. It's not for everyo... Read More

Union Square
September 24, 2018
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
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.
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 8oz
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.
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
Bought a tin tried it came back to it a few months later, it was moldy! Waste of money!
Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 8oz
Sweet virginia with a nice kick and nothing else getting in the way. Delicious! My only complaint is the lack of a 16 ounce tin, as I can't possibly cellar enough of it.
Give it time, a lot of time.

When I initially bought this it was okay. Fresh cut hay aroma and taste. Mild to medium body. Smoked a little hot and left your shirt smelling like a cigarette. I let it age a couple of weeks and it improved to a slightly sweeter and deeper Virginia... Read More
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. Buy it, open it, and forget about it in your cellar for a while. Read Less
Do not smoke this without some age

Product: G. L. Pease Union Square 2oz
As with most Pease blends, this one benefits enormously with some age - in fact, do not smoke it for at least a month, for it will bite and taste like burning.
