No idea why, but I prefer JKP in a big-bowled Meerschaum! A huge bent apple, with a big easy draw, yeah. I like to cut off a flake, cut it in half, the put little cubes in the bottom. Then, i rub the rest out really fine and fill above that. I smoke it throughout the day, cause one sitting of...

Ah, Gaslight. There are many, many things I appreciate about GLP's line, and Gregory's style in general. One is out-of-the-park takes on Old Classic blends that have either migrated away from their original nature, or left us altogether. Another is innovation. Blends that for the whole first...

For me, Union Square must begin every VA journey. It's the benchmark.

Those are great choices. I'd recommend trying Quiet Nights and Meridian, Though. And, GREAT idea on the ALSO LIKE feature. We should start a thread series here!

the GL Pease blends I've gone through have been a revelation (as well as Penzance, but I sort of ration that). Quiet Nights, Westminster, Gaslight, have all been great. Maltese Falcon was nothing to write home about. Yeah! Your feelings mirror mine. Honestly, pipe smoking for me is one thin g...

I see you've already purchased, so it may be moot, but I'd wonder how you prefer the frog Morton vs the quiet nights and Westminster. Could help the decision.

Hey Kev! Try the New GLP Gaslight!!

Cheers All! I wrote somewhere else on here that for me Gaslight sings a yet prettier song when I slice up a whole bar at once, and jar it rubbed out. I think it ages like wine when in its bar form, but once you want to smoke it, chop it up and let it chill a while as a ribbon to "let it...

Long bottom: Greg's tips for cutting and smoking?? Where are they? Are they like mine, or different??

Hello my friends, Well, here we are between Fall and Winter, where many of the disposed's cravings turn toward the darker and smokier. And, as though Santa had heard our longings, we have a new treat to sample this season. GLPease Gaslight. I've spent the last few weeks smoking, nearly, nothing...

OK, what kind of blends would those be? Aromatics? Honest question.

...especially when you leave out the signature ingredient.

Fantastic!! A fellow Cumberland lover!! Smokiness indeed!! In the way a wine might have it, or a scotch might, to my mind. It's so subtle it's almost more noticeable. It's always reminded me of a watered down Peaty Islay Scotch. Those flavors are there, but in a VERY "drinkable" expression...

That's a deal, M'Friend.

Wow. I hope I make it to Yaksylvania some day. I want to buy you a beer and watch you talk about things.
