Pete’s Beard is a solid English blend with some very cool packaging arriving in a Mason jar as opposed to a tin. The name, inspired by of the true gentlemen in the pipe world, pipe maker Pete Prevost, PB is one of those blends that arrived pretty much as described. It is a medium body English that could be one of those “set it and forget it” all day blends. There is no bite, no surprises, just a basic English blend with a medium amount of Latakia that adds enough smoky flavor without being overwhelming. The Virginia's and Orientals don’t offer much sweetness, but work well with each other. Pete’s Beard burns clean and dry with straightforward flavor. Those looking for a middle of the road English blend will find it here.

As a smoker of mostly English blends and a big fan of latakia, this was a no-brainer to try out. And glad that I did. It is exactly as advertised-- a medium English blend. This is my new go-to as an all day smoke. Enough latakia that it gives some flavor. Already in a jar so saved me a step. Highly recommend.

Another sample from the 2018 Chicago Pipe Show. Smells like an English Blend, kinda' tastes like one, too. I say kind of, because this came across to me as a crossover blend, a darned good crossover at that. This blend really has some aromatic qualities, without the hot burn. It has a nice aroma and a great bag note!
I really liked this one. The best testament to a blend is that I will be buying more of this. Good stuff!
Keep on piping!

Purchased this back in 2015 as part of a sale and I had a credit from the company, figuring I didn't have any skin in the game. Initially enjoyed a couple of bowls and tucked it away with my other cellared tobaccos. The notes I made then say: "good smoke, nothing major, could be a all day smoke, maybe time will help it a bit". A friend received a couple of ounces as a gift for Christmas and asked if had ever tried it. After telling him what I remembered about it, I dug it out of the "cellar" and I'm damn glad I did. I wouldn't call it a "premium" tobacco, but after some time this has turned into quite the smoke. A natural sweetness to it, that wasn't as prevalent when I first smoked it. Finishes with just a little bite, but nothing major. The room note is pleasing and not overwhelming for a "English" blend. The tobacco easily ignited and stayed lit throughout the entire smoke. Btw, my friend who is relatively new to the pipe game and only smokes Aromatics thinks it's great as he moves to the Non-Aromatic world. I smoked a bowl of his and there is a definite difference in my cellared blend, and it's for the better.

I agree with previous reviews; a nice English blend with latakia and virginias. The balancing is kind of off for me; could use a little more virginias to add a sweetness, and the latakia is on the weak side as well. But this would work great as an everyday smoke, and anyone who enjoys English blends will definitely like this one as well 🙂

Very mild non-description English blend. Weak on the Latakia for me. Packaging is convenient as it arrives in a storable glass Mason jar.Mild enough to be an everyday smoke.Burns slowly and evenly with no re-lights needed. A bit sweeter in the middle and no bite on the bottom. Nothing memorable.

Smoking PB in a EA Carey Anniversary pipe from the 1990’s. This is a mild smooth smoke that goes well late at night. Flavor is like Sherlock Holmes Shag. The cut is almost shag. Nothing I would write home about but a good go to more like a no bite Virginia Been smoking it the next day good afternoon smoke
