Low Country - Pee Dee 2oz
Good
A little tart, dark and very chocolatey. Definitely Burley based, surprised it has Cavendish in it at all. I have had trouble with it getting bitter and harsh as the smoke goes on and before I'm near the bottom of the bowl. I'll keep at it though, it's good stuff.

G. L. Pease - Horizons Flake 2oz
Interesting
This is deep and rich, but not overly full. Definitely has the dark rich English flavour but the latakia isn't overly strong and it doesn't have the strength taste wise of other Pease blends. This makes it really approachable and comfortable and suitable for various occasions.

Rattray's - Red Rapparee 100g
Quite good
I'm told this is Scottish. It burns very nicely, I think the oriental and Cavendish make for a very nice smoke that's rather easy on the mouth. This can hit the spot if you want a full English flavor but also be an afternoon or warmer weather smoke. I do however have an issue very similar to Peterson 965 where sometimes or perhaps in some pipes it just seems off and tastes wrong. That's just a peculiarity though, it's worth trying.

G. L. Pease - Lagonda 2oz
Very good
Very good blend. Good latakia flavor, the darkness of a Balkan but not as rich as some of his others. This has an old dusty quality to it. I find it sits a little heavy on the palate and burns a little hot so I get less complexity and nuance than with some other Pease English blends but it's definitely worth a try and I ordered more to have around.

G. L. Pease - Key Largo 2oz
Great, don't sleep on it
It's a little intense and not for every occasion but it's a delicious and very rich smoke. It's a very mild English to me with plenty of natural sweetness and a smooth, pleasant and thick smoke, the cigar leaf flavors drive it for me. This is something a little different but extremely good from the best blender in the game, great product.
