G. L. Pease Quiet Nights
(3.52)
Rich, deep, contemplative... Ripe red Virginias, fine Orientals, smokey Cyprus latakia, and a pinch of acadian perique are pressed and matured in cakes before being sliced. The sophisticated flavors and exotic aroma provide a wonderful backdrop for quiet moments of reflection, a good book, and if you are so inclined, perhaps a wee dram.
Notes: This is the second entry in the Old London Series. It is fuller and somewhat more latakia forward than Chelsea Morning, with a higher percentage of Orientals, and less perique. It's rich, complex, leathery and smoky, with a naturally sweet structure from the darker Virginias, and a balanced Oriental spice. It compares in strength and fullness with blends like Samarra and Blackpoint, but the pressing makes it deeper, darker, and brings new dimensions to the flavors and aromas. It's really wonderful. An ideal addition to the series, perfectly complimenting a relaxing evening.
Quiet Nights was introduced in May, 2010.

I got to enjoy this while watching the lake behind my girlfriends house as rain from Tropical Storm Don lazily poured down on the shore birds in the mesquites along its banks. A visual experience to go along with the experience in the pipe never hurts, in my opinion its just as important. I was blessed today. Out of the can the aroma of earth/dirt is pungent but is not a bad thing in my book. QN could benifit from some drying out, but I just had to try it. Latakia is the most evident flavor in the blend, followed by the virginias and a slight, very slight tinge of spicy perique. I dont have a lot of expirence with Orientals so if they were there I couldnt pick them out of the blend.Cool burning in my churchwarden and minimal bite toward the bottom of the bowl. Some gurgle, so some aging is in order. Over all a solid blend and could easily put this into my rotation. Not quite a 4, 3 1/2 if I could.

By now every time Greg Pease presents a new English mixture, everyone knows it's gonna be a masterpiece. And this one won't let you down. A Latakia powerhouse, yet incredibly well balanced, Quiet Nights stands out due to rich dark Virginias that provide a richness, sweetness and mellowness seldom found on English mixtures.
By all means, give it a try.

Penzance? No. But good none the less with a Nicotine hit. Smoke it slow and it will reward you with flavor.
Nice blend for the English lover. in my opinion, one of the best ones from Greg Pease. Smooth and easy to smoke.

This is a great full bodied latakia blend that would be excellent on a winter evening. The name of the blend is appropriate. The blend reminds me of Penzance in flavor and cut. Had a slight problem keeping it lit but when it got going, it burned well leaving a nice white ash. I will continue on with this blend and continue the revieew as I get through the tin.

Another great addition to the GLP line of English. This is a bold mixture and the flavor is great. I love the way it stays with me even when I have finished a bowl. This will be another Hugh hit. Gotta try his one..

I like to think of stories to go along with tasting notes.
It’s early morning and the faintest bit of light is peeking over the horizon. You can smell the earthiness of the dew settling on the rocks and the grassiness of freshly fallen leaves around your vantage point from which you watch the sun slowly ascend. A pot of coffee simmers on the smoldering campfire behind you from the night before. You enjoy the moment while smearing a little butter on your warm sourdough toast. A beautiful sunrise in the mountains.

Main smell from tin come from Latakia which is smoky and earthy. But you can see a touch of spice and sweetness. Burning is delight and sweet with every puff. Not sure if it comes from Virginia or Latakia. Blend is nicely rounded. Need fair amount of relights. Burn till the end without dottle.
Big surprise for me. Till the date of this note, best English blend I have tasted. One of the best blend out there.

Fresh opened tin has strong aroma of sweet plum and a minor note of golden raisin.
Smoke on the palate was a little sweet for my taste. a little moisture in the pipe. not bad, but not something I will return to often.

사람들이 찾는 데에는 다 이유가 있는 듯 하다. 예쁜 하얀 결정들이 설탕을 뿌린 듯 곳곳이 있고 적당한 눅진한 걸 보면 맛이 보장된 최상급의 연초라는 인상을 받게 된다. 사무엘 연초보다는 좀 자극적이지만, 그럼에도 깔끔한 잔맛을 유지하고 무엇보다 라타키아의 안정감을 주는 그윽함이 더할나위 없이 편안한 향미를 선사한다. 라타키아의 훈연향이 지나치지 않아 같이 블렌딩된 버지니아와 함께 절묘히 조합되어 크리미하고 풍요로운 풍미가 느껴진다. 몇달 전이라 확실하지는 않지만, 웨스트민스터 처음 피웠을 때와 비슷한 행복한 경험이었다.
이거.. 너무 부드럽게 잘 타들어가고 맛도 너무 좋아 잘하면 순삭 될 위험이 있는 연초이다.. 이번에 8온즈로 구매하길 잘 한 듯 하다.
