P & T Magazine review. "Some blenders will not employ cubed Burley for fear of being compared with the mass-market blends popularized in the pre-World War II decades of the century. Mr. Pease has found the most exceptional cubed Burley that I have ever had and takes the genre to new heights. The color is rich and earthy, and the cut is between the more common small cubes in the more common blends and the less common hulking chunks found in the failed attempts at an elite blend of this sort. It never devolves into that nasty, bitter and biting ending so familiar from the world of bad Burley. It burns with consummate flavor, marvelous nuttiness, with only esteem for your palate and no rancor. It is big but not bruising, and has added components that only a master could carry off. I have mentioned that I have yet to try a Burley and Perique blend that works, and Mr. Pease has added just enough (repeat, just enough) red Virginia in appropriate cut for mixture with cubes to make the Perique component work. The balance is perfection itself, and as with all other Pease blends, the layers and subtleties defy description. At times the raisin-like Perique element envelops your senses, at times the Virginias materialize, but mostly the cubed Burley plays on like great 64 foot pedal stops on a cathedral pipe organ. A delightful wafting of brandy finishes this off in perfect balance with the other ingredients. It is slow burning, and who in their right minds would rush this? Highly recommended. "
