G. L. Pease Quiet Nights

I love this. It is very English but not overbearing. Has complexity and flavour. One of my top 5 blends. I especially love this one in the morning despite the name. Super tasty. Would recommend. 4/4

Hey Moon, it’s just you and me tonight. Everyone else is asleep…..

This is what this tobacco represents for me. Imagen…. Sitting on your back porch, wife and kids are asleep. The only thing you hear are le leaves in the trees moving now and then in a light breeze and the deep breathing of your dog laying beside you lost in his own thoughts and dreams. Everything is absolutely peacefull. You sipping this amazing tobacco in your favorite pipe and the moon shining down on you. Hey Moon, it’s just you and me tonight. Everyone else is asleep…..

Ok my reviews are to the point. No flowery language about non existent crap that makes you sound like a connisuer. I've been smoking a pipe longer than most.This is good tobacco, similar to my favourite old school nightcap. It's rough cut and I recommend rubbing it a little. It smokes cool and tastes great. If you like English blends this one's a winner.

Another stellar blend from GL Pease. I gravitate toward English/Balkans and this fits the bill perfectly. A complete marriage of complexity and flavor. Smoky latakia, tangy orientals, with a touch of sweetness. The hint of Perique is just enough to tickle the tongue (im usually not a Perique fan). I give it a couple of hours drying time and it smokes perfectly. 1-2 relights at most. 45 minutes-1 hour per bowl. It really is a perfect evening blend. I highly recommend.

My first bowl of QN was absolutely stunning with this delicious tangy Oriental note that sang with the other varietals in the blend and it totally knocked my hair back. Try as I might, I chased those flavors in preceding bowls but couldn't reproduce the experience. I tried briar and cobs but the tang was replaced with a soft sour note. The dark fruity, woody, bready Virginia dances with the Latakia, smokey, earthy and creamy. The plumy perique is spicy and adds complexity. The star of the show is the Orientals, herbal, tangy and sour. The nic hit is medium and I went back and forth on how much I dried it before smoking. A word of caution - If too dry, normal handling in preparation for a smoke would cause the tobacco too crumble into an unsmokable sawdust type consistency.

My goodness this blend. If Chelsea Morning is the perfect marriage with sunrise and coffee, this blend is in perfect marriage with the moonlit sky and an evening beverage. The red virginias bring earthy and dark fruit notes. The oriental/turkish spicy, woody, raisiny notes (along with the Perique) all coalesce perfectly with the smoky Latakia. Surprisingly sweet and thankfully its not a lat bomb. There is a tar note that absolutely suits this blend so well with the night. I'm not sure what component gives it that taste but I love it. Though not an all day smoke, it is easily repeatable. A top favorite of mine as well as others. 8.8/10

Smokey sweet tin note. Great English smoke.

I really like Oriental forward blends and this one is in the top tier. I am not really sure of what the percent make up of each leaf in this blend but to my palate, the balance of Oriental and Latakia on the VA base is just right and the quality of the Turkish/Orientals along with the VA, give this the an exotic and luxurious flavor profile. Slightly sweet, spicy and woody. Creaminess from the Latakia support the other players but is critical to this blend, it is what makes it for me. The name is appropriate, a nice blend like and after dinner drink, sweet and rich and a perfect end to the day.

I am a fan of this blend. I found this tobacco to be a complex creation - a multifaceted mixture of a tobacco. I lack a tobacconist's vocabulary, and fear that I cannot adequately describe the blend. I would recommend the gentleman's description that precedes my own, he voices many of my own observations and opinions. Suffice it to say, that this blend is relaxing and pairs well with a late night drink.

I had originally intended to wait till I was smoking this one to write a review simultaneously, but alas I keep forgetting, so while I'm writing reviews, Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls will have to suffice. This was an interesting one to me. The first time I tried it was last summer while taking a tour of the C&D warehouse. I was smoking on an empty stomach and puffing away like a chimney, so it kicked my butt and I didn't get a very solid grasp of the flavor profile. But I have since acquired a tin and smoked about half of it. My opinions have changed a bit from what they were this summer. I find this English/Balkan flake to be quite interesting, especially in contrast with Chelsea Morning. From what I had read I was expecting them to be a bit more similar then I found these two first blends from the Old London Series. Focusing on Quiet Nights I found it to be a blend much more Latakia influenced than Chelsea Morning. While I found the VA to be dominant in Chelsea Morning, it was much more subdued in this blend, I mostly find that it complements the perique which for me seems to be making a much bolder appearance on the palate. I find this to be a dark and spicy provocative flake with a smoky heavy latakia flavor complemented by the peppery perique with a touch of sweetness from the VA and Orientals. I must confess it did not remind me of Chelsea Morning at all, but rather of another balkan blend of the Pease collection, it's one of my favorites, but I'll leave that for you to experiment with, I highly recommend this one though and I think that it is worth smoking in comparison with other Balkans from Pease!
