G. L. Pease Union Square Pipe Tobacco

I've recently opened this and smoked it in at least 8 different pipes. It has some good qualities to it and it behaved the same in all pipes. I found it to begin with a very sweet "fig & raisin" note that lasted for at least 1/2 the bowl or more, no matter the size. For me personally, that was too much of the same sweet flavor for too long. Near the last 1/3 or less, the flavors melded into something quite nice with much more tobacco depth and character; but by that time it was almost over. I know nothing about cellaring, but I suspect these "separations" of flavor will meld together and provide something much more pleasing after a few years. The tobacco is of high quality and a pleasure to work with. I smoked it very fresh and thus had regular re-lights, but with more prep that would diminish; no complaints there. This is a nice tobacco which some will find to be exceptional, age will likely enhance it, but it will not make my top repeatable / daily list. Maybe I'm too impatient but I want more complexity now.

I reviewed the wrong tobacco earlier. This was my first flake, and I smoked it all to white ash. It was a sweet smooth pleasant smoke that has staying power.

This is my first time trying US. Right out of the tin ... I’m quite pleased ... but I think with some aging this one will be even better. Most importantly, kudos to the fine folks at Tobacco Pipes for their excellent service & offerings. TP is top notch in my book!

A wonderful blend of Virginias. Recently I added a small amount of Turkish Ribbon and improved the blend to darn near perfect. Great body and palate. One can I smoked I had since 2015 and it was tremendous.

The mildest, smooth and delightful VA money can buy. I have never been without it since the first time I took it for a spin.

GL Pease Union Square is just wonderful. The flavor is mild, the nuances are subtle. There is a pleasant room note and a pleasant after taste. Consistent to the bottom of the bowl with no ashy flavor. A little folding, some sloppy packing. Get ready for a slow long burn. If you can't finish the bowl - you can always come back to it. My selfish side leaned towards keeping this a secret so it never runs out. I've decided to share what a great experience this tobacco is to smoke. I smoked this tobacco in a Dublin shaped pipe.

While it doesn’t quite rise to the level of my beloved McClelland straight VAs, Union Square is too excellent to ignore. I look forward to this tobacco with a bit of age on it.

Great Virginia. Hay, grass. Very well done guys.

If you are a Virginia lover, your going to love this one. Will be buying more!!
