When a blend is brimming with Cyprian Latakia, the other components have to be robust enough to stand up to it or the blend becomes muddled. GL Pease Odyssey uses plenty of zesty Orientals and rich, sweet red and stoved black Virginias to make sure that it's robust and beautifully balanced. This is one Odyssey you'll be glad to take.
A good medium strength with a nice overall flavor profile.

Absolutely Superb. You can tell GL Pease really enjoyed crafting this one just like he says on the tin.

This is a superb blend. It is the first GL Pease blend that I've tried. The tin I purchased from my tobacconist was almost 2 years old, and inside some of the leaves had crystallizations on them which was a very welcome site. The moisture content was absolutely perfect for smoking right out of the tin. Slightly dry with a minimal amount of moisture. My first two bowls smoked down to white ash with little to no moisture at the bottom. The smoke is very smooth and voluminous, and the flavor is medium/heavy not super heavy and absolutely delicious. The flavour does not change much throughout the bowl but is so good that you are happy that it remains consistent. I am very pleased with my 2oz tin, and I puff on it constantly and it barely heats up the bowl, so I don't see any chance of tongue bite. I literally puff every few seconds nonstop. I would purchase it again but for the fact that I'd rather spend my money on a new GL pease tin to try each time before I go back for a second purchase. This is such a high quality tobacco, nice ribbon cut.

A benchmark for English blends

If you like Nightcap, try this too. Great blend. There’s a reason it’s sold in an 8 oz tin.
