G. L. Pease Spark Plug
(3.78)
A quality English blend from renowned G.L. Pease, Spark Plug's tin art immediately denotes its inspiration: A Union Jack comprises the foreground in recognition of the English blends that dominated British pipesmoking preferences in the early 20th century. These original mixtures offered a distinctly spicy and smoky component though the use of Latakia and Oriental tobaccos overtop a Virginia base. Pressed into a dense plug, Spark Plug can be sliced thick or thin, based on individual preference, and it presents a deep, powerful flavor profile, marked by a campfire's smokiness and aged leather from the Cyprian Latakia, married to rich and spicy Orientals from Greece and Turkey, and sweet bright and red Virginias. Like the classic cars that inspired its invention, Spark Plug is charming and satisfying. Take it for a test drive before setting aside to age or enjoy it at full throttle straight out of the tin.

This is similar to Gaslight in presentation, but I like it better: a bit less overwhelmingly strong, more rounded, chewier, sweeter and easier. Still a very rich a full experience, smoky, leathery, greasy and full-flavoured.
I still would have prefered a "crumble kake" format with the slices already cut (when I am outside, I don't like to mess with a knive and slice a plug), but the taste and flavour are top notch.

it's like a hug from your grandpa after he's been working in his garage all day long.
