G. L. Pease Sextant
(3.31)
Sextant is a classic mixture harmoniously married to a Navy flake. Ripe Virginia tobaccos are first blended with Cyprian latakia, fine Orientals, and a touch of dark fired Kentucky leaf, then infused with a hint of dark rum before being gently pressed, matured and sliced. The flavor is rich, bold and satisfying, the aroma an enchanting interweaving of traditions.

As noted by all this is a broken flake that burns well enough when dried out a bit. It has that slight rum hit, a mid level nicotine hit, and a generous amount of virginias. I acquired 4 of the Old London Series with this as my most desired based on the description, but, it is my least favorite. It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I think I was hoping for something along the lines of my all time favorite Mephisto, which this definitely is not. Almost 3 stars for me.
