G. L. Pease Abingdon
(3.40)
Abingdon is the fullest Balkan style blend in the range. It is rich and robust, powerful and forthright, yet still possessing subtlety and finesse. Dark flavors of wood and leather mingle with delicate undercurrents of sweetness, and deep earthy notes, while the Oriental tobaccos provide hints of their verdant, sometimes herbaceous character. A big Balkan blend, reminding us once more of what these blends used to be. Because of the high percentage of dark and oriental tobaccos, it's recommended to pack Abingdon a little less firmly than you might a lighter blend.
Notes: Abingdon was released in July, 2003.

Short ribbons of light and dark tobaccos. More stick-like bits than in other Pease blends I've tried.
Smokey, winey tin aroma. Moistness just right.
Medium full body. The tin description is accurate: woodsmoke and leather flavors. Very nicely balanced and integrated. Cool smoking.
Room note is sharp and pleasant.
Overall: A very pleasant smoke. Full flavored but not at all overpowering. When in the mood for a straightforward Latakia smoke, with little distraction from Orientals, this would probably be my first choice.

Nice tobacco with about 40% light Va. Milder than I expected. Very smooth all the way to the bottom of the bowl. I like this best in a large bowl which allows the tobacco to develop a fuller flavor. will definately smoke more.
