G.L. Pease Original Mixtures Odyssey

G.L. Pease’s Odyssey is a bold, full-bodied Balkan-style pipe tobacco blend introduced in January 2002. Crafted by master blender Gregory Pease, it is renowned for its rich, smoky profile and intricate balance of flavors.

Blend Composition

Odyssey is distinguished by its generous use of Cyprian Latakia, complemented by exotic Oriental tobaccos and sweet, matured red and jet-black stoved Virginias. This combination creates a complex and harmonious smoking experience.

Flavor Profile

The blend offers a robust and assertive flavor, where the smoky spice of Latakia is balanced by the sweetness of the Virginias. The Oriental tobaccos add depth, contributing notes that have been likened to Baroque quartets or even belly-dancing music, depending on one’s perspective.

Smoking Experience

Upon lighting, Odyssey produces dense, voluminous smoke. The high percentage of dark tobaccos requires a delicate hand when packing to ensure optimal burning and flavor release. The blend is best enjoyed by Latakia enthusiasts seeking a complex and refined smoking experience.
