G. L. Pease Aragorn
(3.75)
This tin contains two ounces of Aragorn's favorite pipeweed, a blend of dark, mysterious Cyprus mountain latakia, golden New World Virginia leaf, and the exotic spice of tobaccos from the orient. This is what he would enjoy with a pint in the Inn at Bree. This Middle Earth leaf was discovered in barrels off the coast at the edge of the western world. It was found under Bixby Bridge at mile 13.1 of the Big Sur Marathon. Savor this rare treasure, only 400 tins could be produced.

I picked this blend at the International Pipe Show a couple years back. I finished the tin after several weeks and found the tobacco only became better as I reached the bottom.
The blend was a solid mixture of Virginia, Latakia, and Oriental tobacco that was well balanced and kept me coming back to it on a daily basis. Each flavor adds to the overall experience. The mixture revealed a rarely found smoothness even amongst other aged tobaccos. While the blend is strong, there was nothing outstanding about it. It did not feel like a limited release blend, but instead the kind of blend that one would smoke everyday as a fallback around other more exotic blends.
I would recommend picking up a tin if you ever find one available.
