G. L. Pease Fillmore
(3.20)
A thick sliced, broken flake in the Scottish tradition. Ripe red Virginia tobaccos are combined with a generous measure of fine Louisiana perique and then pressed to marry the components and deepen the flavors. The cakes are sliced and gently broken before tinning. Fillmore presents an elegant sweetness and delightful piquancy, enhanced by a creamy richness that develops throughout the bowl. Sit back, and enjoy a lovely, leisurely smoke!
Notes: Fillmore was released in June 2006.

I like VAPers, and I like GL Pease blends. I have not smoked this enough to know if it's a top five VAPer, but it's certainly a top ten VAPer, and well worth trying if you like Greg's blends and VAPers. Tasty, lovely stuff, obviously top quality tobacco. I am not giving it four stars as I don't have enough experience with the blend to feel comfortable with that rating, that's the only reason I'm going for three at this point.

Rich, earthy, full flavored and complex. Take the smooth harmony of a good VaPer like Escudo and add some dark and delightful BBQ flavor and you have Fillmore. Smokes like a meal! Another winner from GLP.

A fine blend of quality tobaccos that has behaved well for me in a group 4 sized pipe.
Like the 3 previous GLP blends I've tried I really wanted to love it instead of just like it. Needless to say I give it a solid 3 stars & will update after I finish this tin.

Smooth and creamy with just enough perique to tickle the nose. The burley gives this blend a full mouth feel, (like a thick pudding), and helps bridge the perique across the spectrum of tobaccos used. No hype here my friends, Mr. Pease is indeed a master blender.

This is a very tasty treat from GL Pease. It has a healthy dose of perique which I love and some very nice sweet virginia.

This was a highly anticipated tin that did not quite live up to expectations. It's a very nice unoffensive VaPer that struck me as a slightly toned down version of Luxury Bullseye Flake or maybe St. James. The taste is similar to either of those, it's just a wee bit less volume on the flavor knob. This blend needs just a little something to kick it up to the top level.

A most refreshing Virginia Perique flake, perfect for a Summer afternoon sweating your huevos off while cruising the bayou for gators. Goes perfectly with Lynchburg Lemonade...hold the lemonade. Pack it straight from the tin with a light hand, fire it up and hold on to the gunwhales...you're in for a great ride. Try it in a corncob.

Tin: Red VA, auburn, with black pressed into the flake. The odor is like cheddar and extremely sharp ripe, fermented fruit; the smell stayed in my nose for several minutes after closing the tin; with an almost imperceptible underlying hay note. A couple of days after opening the tin, the smell has mellowed way out. It is now sweet fruit with a faint underlying hay scent.
Between moist and dry, the flakes are still quite pliable. Date stamped on the bottom of the tin: 061306 (13JUN06).
Packing & Lighting: Fillmore packs as easily as any ribbon. It was smoked without being rubbed out, not breaking the flakes into smaller pieces. All other things being equal, some flakes tend to be more of a challenge to get them lit, as compared to ribbon-cut blends, but flakes tend to burn slower. A bowl of Fillmore, loosely packed and puffed vigorously, lasts 1 1/2 hours. The bowl stays cool, with very little condensation when smoked indoors.
Taste & Aroma: The top is bland but gets richer and deeper as the bowl is smoked. It is creamy and a tad sweet, but in a piquant cigar fashion. The bottom third should be thought of as approaching a cigar-like quality. A couple of days after opening the tin, Fillmore has become much more mellow and consistent from the top of the bowl to the bottom.
Nicotine: The batch I'm smoking is lacking the large dose of nicotine expected from perique.
Room Note: Pleasant leather, spicy, tangy scent that is still present in the room or car the next day.
Overall: I wouldn't call it a great VAPER or a typical one, but, in the FCS series, it is better than TH or Lombard; not nearly as enjoyable as Mont. or LH. Ashbury is quite stronger in nicotine effect. Mont. is the one FCS blend that I will definitely try again, although there may be a revisit to some of the other FCS tobaccos. 3.4 stars.
