G. L. Pease Temple Bar
(3.41)
Rich, ripe red and sweet golden Virginia tobaccos are generously spiced with fine, fragrant Orientals and enhanced with a delicate touch of perique for a bit of added depth and complexity. The leaf is carefully layered and pressed for a fortnight into large cakes, which are then cut into bars and tinned, ready to be sliced and rubbed out as desired for your ultimate smoking pleasure.

Tin note of spices, stewed Rasins/figs, and mild lemon. The brown, light brown and black tobacco plugs aren't moist enough to warrant drying. Tobacco plugs need sliced with a razor or sharp knife and rubbed out. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of strong wood, strong bread, floral, sweet grass, earth, dry herbal spices, mild raisin, mild tangy lemon, mild tart plums, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Orientals supporting. Perique is there, but on standby. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is excellent.

Pretty good smoke! A Virginia/Perique blend with a moderate addition of Orientals and their unique spice. Moderately sweet. Refreshing taste, very suitable on a warm day. Would buy again.

The faint smell of wood, flowers, and wine.
With such a cake, I usually take the simple and rough approach, pinch a part, put it into the coffee beanmaker, and get a bunch of tiny pieces, which I can try in any pipe, of course, the first time I use my clay pipe.
This TB is not bad, but it can't be something I repeat many times a day.
