I do really love GLPlease's blends. Pease's blends transformed me from a pipe dilletante into a full fledged pipe smoker.
The Pease label has given me the confidence to experiment, and try things I haven't tried before. For instance, I had tried a lot of Latakia blends, but none of them took. Until Blackpoint. That one taught me how to love Latakia, and started my eventual turn from exclusively pure VA's, and transformed me into a smoker of English blends. Chelsea Morning was my first regular English blend, and I eventually found perfection in Maltese Falcon, which simply tastes like no other tobacco I have ever smoked. My favorite by far. I'd take it over Penzance any day of the week.
The only other blender I have had similiar experience with is McClelland. But for me, McClelland is all about dark stoved VA's and Syrian Latakia.
Esoterica is also good, but I find the quality to be relatively uneven. Same with Gawith and Hoggarth. Plus, they are all so damned hard to get these days . . . another plus of being a dedicated Pease smoker!
