G.L. Pease Classic Collection Kensington

G.L. Pease Classic Collection Kensington

G.L. Pease Kensington is a refined Balkan-style pipe tobacco that offers a balanced and nuanced smoking experience. Released in March 2003 as part of the Classic Collection, Kensington is characterized by its harmonious blend of bright and red Virginia tobaccos, Cyprian Latakia, and richly flavored Oriental leaves. This combination results in a medium-strength tobacco with a mild to medium nicotine content, making it suitable for both seasoned smokers and those new to Balkan blends.

Flavor Profile:

• Virginia: Provides a citrusy sweetness with earthy and grassy undertones.

• Latakia: Offers smoky, woody, and earthy notes, complementing the other components without overpowering them.

• Orientals: Contribute a spicy, dry, and slightly floral character, enhancing the blend’s complexity.

Smoking Experience:

Kensington is praised for its smooth and cool burn, requiring minimal relights. The blend maintains a consistent flavor profile throughout the smoke, with a dry finish and a pleasant aftertaste. Its restrained use of Latakia allows the Orientals to shine, making it a “Balkan with restraint”—a lighter variant of the classic style.

For those seeking a balanced and refined Balkan-style blend, G.L. Pease Kensington stands out as a versatile choice that can be enjoyed at any time of day.
