G. L. Pease Barbary Coast
(3.01)
The finest cube-cut burley, chosen for its deep, nutty flavors, forms a robust foundation for this sophisticated blend. Rich, red Virginia tobaccos are added for their subtle sweetness and complexity, while the unique spice of perique provides added dimension. A delicate kiss of Brandy polishes the blend to a perfect finish. Barbary Coast is delightfully satisfying, with hints of black walnut, dark chocolate, and dried fruits. The perfect "all-day" smoke!
Notes: From GL Pease: The name, Barbary Coast, came from my good friend Toren Smiith, in one of the most mind-stunning stream of consciousness, free association, brain dump emails I've ever received. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the perfect name. Thanks, Toren, and everyone else who sent great suggestions! The prize? You're lookin' at it, buddy! Fame, but no fortune.
Barbary Coast was introduced in March, 2001.

Burley blends are probably the only tobacco that I can't seem to appreciate a whole lot. They seem rather flat to me and at the same time too strong. After reading all the reviews however, I had to try this blend at least once. I was pleasantly surprised! This was certainly unique tobacco. Although still not something I would keep on hand it is certainly a step up from other burley lends that I have tried. The Perique adds a nice spice, and the brandy gives the blend a nice flavor. The virginias seemed to need some aging however, and I got a minor case of tongue bite even when I smoked it slow.
All in all a quality blend, just not something this boy needs.
P.S. My wife loves the smell!!!!!

Great looking tobacco in the sample I got. The smell was fantastic. From all the hype I was hearing about this blend, I couldn't wait to try it.
I am glad I did not buy a tin of it. It is a very nice tobacco, just not what I was looking for. I am going to try this again in a few months and see if my tastes have changed, but for now, it is on the shelf.
It was unremarkable compaired to some other english style blends I have and the reviews might have put my expectations too high.
It burned well and the smoke was full and powerful. It only required one relight for the entire bowl.
