Peretti Omega
(3.69)
Rich and full flavored, it is ideal for relaxing in the evening after a fine meal. This blend is pleasantly spiced with the gentle flavor of Latakia and superb Turkish.

This is one of my favorite B&M blended tobaccos. Omega is a very full bodied English rich with flavor. This blend came drier than I expected, but it was a pleasant surprise since I like my tobaccos on the drier side for best smoking. Packed easily, lit well and remained smoldering for the entire bowl. The flavors were enticing and in some ways this reminded me of Penzance, but with a little more of a nicotine hit. The amount of smoke billowing out of my pipe was highly engaging and enjoyable to no end. Flavors/Aroma were musty, leathery, with just a little sweetness and the cool smoke weaved in and out of my consciousness almost lulling me into a deeply meditative state. This is some good stuff! Highest Recommendation! TYFFMOLIAAS

It seems like a sacrilege to follow Pipestud's last review, but somebody had to do it. Thank you Pipestud for all your great reviews and sage advice over the years. Nice to still see you on eBay now and again.
Omega is a truly great tobacco. If I were to make an architectural comparison, I would say it is like the Empire State building. This is a BIG tobacco - big as life, full of flavor, depth, and complexity. Did I mention BIG? You had better plan on taking some time to contemplate with this one. And I suggest you pass if you are in the mood for something light, sweet, and fluffy. Omega provides a wonderful play of flavors between the VA, Turkish, and big Latakia presence, all wonderfully balanced but in a strong and sturdy way. There will be no doubt that you have had a serious smoke when this baby has gone to ashes - and yet it is a sad realization that the bowl is over.
Peretti makes great blends, and this could be the crowning achievement. I recommend Omega in a LARGE bowl pipe for maximum duration and enjoyment. Highly recommended.

As others have said, the detailed reviews are dead on. A great smoke with an exceptional burn; hardly any relights at all.
Smoky, spice, woodsy taste. Never bitter with a good shot of nicotine. Elicits a slow, contemplative and relaxing smoke.
I am really enjoying Peritti's blends. If you haven't tried any, you owe yourself.

After a three year hiatus, coming back to this one made me realize just how good this tobacco is. The Turkish leaf has a subtle but definite presence, and the result is a little bit different to me than a medium or full Balkan type mixture, but in a positive way. The fine, deep taste of the Latakia is enhanced by the Turkish spice and the smooth backbone of the Virginias--I love this as a slight change from a straight Balkan mixture. I find it smoother than LM. Highly Recommended!

Again, Kilted1 from his review in 2005 is dead on. This reminds me of Dunhill London Blend as well. The characteristics are generally the same. You can tell that it ISN"T London Blend, but it IS its long lost brother that bears a stricking resemblance.
The 6 years between his and my reviews, again, speaks to the consistency that is the rule with Peretti blends. 4 stars! It all comes together for me in this one.
Cheers!

Another winner from Peretti! This is a straight English blend, no frills, just V-O-L and pretty damn good ones! The orientals are definitely the first note you taste, deep, pungent with the latakia initially in the background and coming out strongly around halfway down. The Virginias build the meat, providing a little sweetness and lots of weight: definitely not a breakfast tobacco but a perfect after-dinner.
