The newest release from Gregory Pease, Sixpence, is the first entry in the Old World series to feature Virginia and Perique. This broken flake also contains some dark-fired leaf, and a secret component. If you're looking for a flavorful, rich blend that doesn't contain Latakia, you'll love Sixpence.
Delightful! I'm really enjoying this blend. Just don't puff like an express train. As long you pace yourself, the taste will remain consistent throughout the smoke.

Lights easily, and stays lit
Jul 07, 2021
Lights easily, and stays lit throughout the smoke. But what's more important to me is the flavor and aroma. Since this is a Va/Per. blend you really get that haybarn, grassy aroma of the Virginia along with the slightly pickled aroma of the Perique. Opening the tin is like inhaling ambrosia. The aroma is a good indicator of the flavor and aroma of the smoke.

Exquisite, Rich, Complex Adventure
Oct 30, 2019
A very sophisticated Vaper, with perfect complexity in the smoke. There is a liquor in the tin note, and in the first several puffs. Cognac? But it quickly burns away.
One of the most enjoyable smokes ever. The overall impression is not of sweetness, but a delightful sourness. The perique, balanced by the dark Kentucky, is deep and rich, but the red Virginias periodically rise up, particularly in the latter half of the bowl. No relights, lush room aroma, so many different tastes Weave in and out. One to sip while nothing else occupies the mind. I’m a 50 year pipe smoker, and this may be the finest tobacco I’ve ever enjoyed. The broken flakes can be folded together and stuffed or rubbed out. Seems To me that rubbing out brings up richer flavors. This is cool, never bites at all, and offers a more than medium nicotine hit. Just a grand experience!

A Wonderful Tin of Tobacco
Nov 16, 2016
Upon opening the tin one is greeted with some nice perfect, in my opinion, moisture content for a broken flake. The aroma reminds me of a sort of heady wine smell. Not too bad. This blend doesn't need any further rubbing out as it is broken just fine. I found myself just pulling a little at a time and gently and loosely stuffing it into the bowl of my pipe. Since it is flake it will expand as your heat source warms it up. The taste is, well the aftertaste at the middle of the tongue is a wine like flavor that lasts awhile to my personal tastes. It takes a light very easily and stays lit as long as I keep my draw gentle and smooth. I don't think you could do it any justice hitting it aggressively. There's not too many blends I'd like to buy in pound increments but this one I'd surely like to.

Gets better with a little age.

Not as stout as I prefer but it does age well. Good texture, easy to pack, easy light & consistent burn, no bite.

Great Blend

Great Blend for having an alcohol like topping. Not normally something I would smoke but it works for me as a nice change of pace smoke. Good crossover for aro smokers as well looking for a change of pace.

Great Blend
Sep 15, 2015
I love this blend. It burns very cool and slow. It also produces good amount of smoke. Excellent Va flavor, with the slight punch of Perique. As far as room note goes, I've never had any complaints. I would definetly reccomend it!

Sixpence
Sep 10, 2015
Great Blend. The Dark Fired plays off the Virginia/Perique exceptionally well, and develops continually through the bowl. Rich and earthy with some spice. Ill be socking away some more 8 ounce tins of Sixpence. This is a daily smoke for me , good for anytime. 5 stars

This is one to try. It starts off mellow and smokey then a little nose tingle to the end. For me, not every day, but a very good evening smoke while relaxing on the porch watching the world rush past. I will keep some on hand.
JR of Hydro, OK
A fantastic blend. May be one of the richest, earthiest I have ever smoked. May sound a bit "out there" but I most think of truffles just pulled up from the moist earth, pure dark chocolate. Caution to those who prefer lighter fair, this is not for the feint of heart. Heavy nicotine content.. Not an everyday smoke, but for special occasions it's No. 1 go to smoke.
AF of San Francisco, CA
I am a confirmed Latikia smoker. 24/7/365. I can't rave highly enough about how much I enjoyed this blend. I found it amazingly smooth and creamy. The Virginias and Perique give it a nice balanced flavor. It's a little young fresh out of the tin. Cellaring for a time would be outstanding. Lights well, burns well, and no mouth burning or acidity bites even in one of my large bowl short stem briars. I recommend.
SN of Dunmore, PA
Starts off at what seems to be far too mellow, by the time you get to mid bowl it has done a 180. A swirling pool of flavors that kept me guessing. Perique well felt in the nostrils, Virginia's well grassy/sweet, and dark fire toned down a subdued to a backdrop ... love it. 5/5 unique, balanced, and suspenseful!
JS of Ellwood City, PA
Again Greg delivers, an awesome vaper, there is a nod to the penguins for sure, delightful, must have and cellar. Highly recommended.
TD of Gouverneur, NY
Wow, good...darn good. Mellow, flavorful, burns well, cool smoking, zero bite, pleasant earthy room note, excellent with fine whisky Thank you Gregory for yet another hit.
