G. L. Pease Piccadilly
(3.12)
Picadilly is a provocative blend of several Virginia tobaccos, delicately spiced with latakia, and finished with Louisiana perique. The alluring flavor is revealed in layers throughout the smoke. It's lighter and sweeter than the others, but still rich, with hints of cinnamon and citrus. A perfect "English Breakfast Mixture."
Notes: Piccadilly was released in March, 2003

Pease blends are very hit or miss for me.... This one missed by a country mile. Little flavor, no complexity and limp wristed in the strength department. It was very difficult to taste anything other than the Perique, which popped up like a toadstool in freshly cut grass (Annoying and distracting when taking in the entire scene).
I suppose if one enjoys bland English style tobacco with loads of Perique, this would be a good choice. Otherwise, there are far to many classy blends of this genre to recommend Piccadilly to anyone.

Man is that some poorly treated, low-grade Perique. Smells like sour dreck in the tin, but it tastes like some nice red Virginia tobacco on the initial light. That fades fast. Latakia really only exists in the tin, once it's in the pipe it stretches out on the back seat for a nap and never wakes up again. Mostly this is muted Virginias with some very forward Perique.
The first half is fair enough, a little weird tasting for what's essentially a Va/Per with some Lat cologne but hey, different is good, right? By mid-bowl the Perique has gone sour and stays that way until the end. It starts to taste like it smelled in the tin. Stoving this blend in the pipe is not an improvement.
Somebody somewhere loves sour beers, and they should definitely try Piccadilly ... it'll be the perfect companion.

Holycrap, Perique. This tin is 4 years old and only peppery, nothing else. The Virginias are not able to balance it out, as they would in a good Va/Per blend. The Cyprian Latakia adds tin notes but can't hold up.
Maybe it's better fresh when the Latakia hasn't mellowed? It's fairly awful now.

I was excited to try this blend because my first tin of it had some age on it. This review is based on two tins, a new one and one that was 4 years old. Unlike many of Pease blends, the additional age didn't help to improve this tobacco. Its just plain boring. dry and lacking any depth. There are many other mild English blends that have more flavor. As far of the "hints of cinnamon and citrus"...give me a break. Not Recommended.

There is nothing special, interesting or notable about this blend.
Enough latakia to satisfy my craving but that's about it.
won't buy again.
