G.L. Pease Blackpoint

G.L. Pease Blackpoint is a well-regarded pipe tobacco blend known for its rich, nuanced character and classic English profile with a touch of elegance. Here’s a detailed description:

• Type: English Blend

• Contents: Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Virginia, Perique

• Cut: Ribbon

• Strength: Medium

Flavor Profile:

Blackpoint offers a refined and complex smoking experience. The Latakia adds a smoky, leathery depth, but it doesn’t overpower. Oriental/Turkish tobaccos bring a spicy, slightly sour tang that dances with the natural sweetness of matured Virginias. A light touch of Perique contributes subtle dark fruit and pepper notes, giving the blend an elegant complexity without becoming heavy.

Many smokers describe Blackpoint as softer and more nuanced than heavier English blends, making it a favorite for those who want something with character but not overwhelming intensity.

Tasting Notes:

• Top: Smoky, spicy, slightly tart

• Mid: Sweet, earthy, hints of fig or raisin (from the Perique)

• Finish: Smooth, woody, with lingering spice and creaminess
