Die erste Geruchsprobe macht direkt klar, wohin die Reise mit dem “Windjammer” geht: süßer Rum und würziger Pfeffer sind die Hauptdarsteller in dieser gekonnten Komposition von G. L. Pease. Und es sei nochmal unterstrichen: der Perique liefert eine nicht gerade dezente Pfeffrigkeit, sowohl im Duft, als auch im Rauch – vor allem, wenn dieser durch die Nase ausgeblasen wird. Weiterhin bringt der Perique eine Prise Pflaume mit ins Spiel, die sich wunderbar mit den trockenfruchtigen Rum-Noten ergänzt. Die Virginia- und Burley-Bestandteile lassen Nuancen von Citrus, Heu, Toastbrot, (Wal-)Nuss und einem Hauch Kakao mitschwingen. Der (zum Glück gar nicht pappig-bittre) Black Cavendish wird hier nicht als Aromaträger eingesetzt; vermutlich soll er der Mischung eine gewisse Cremigkeit verleihen. Bei mir hinterließ der “Windjammer” Eindruck auf mehreren Ebenen und ist daher ein tolles Gesamtpaket. Der Duft ist himmlisch und immer wieder ertappe ich mich dabei, wie ich minutenlang am Tabak rieche, bevor ich ihn schließlich in die Pfeife bringe und entzünde. Die Mischung bietet eine gewisse Komplexität und die Aromatisierung wirkt nicht überbordend. Sehr zu empfehlen.

My tobacco stash
Dr. Magill 1. Introduction: Windjammer represents Mr Gregory L. Pease’s interpretation of the venerable Navy Blend - those Virginia-and-Périque compositions which, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, were commonly carried aboard vessels as pressed plugs, often mellowed by the addition of rum. Mr Pease expands this traditional formula through the inclusion of Burley and Black Cavendish, intending thereby to impart greater richness, mellowness, and body. Yet these additions mark a subtle departure from the British canon, wherein Virginia - sometimes with Périque, or alternatively with Latakia - has long been held sufficient unto itself. Thus, Windjammer stands as a modern and, one might say, polypragmatic American counterpart to the austere classicism of the English school of blending. 2. Appearance & Cut: The tobacco presents itself as an American flake of deep umber and chestnut strands, elastic in texture and uniform in structure, facilitating easy packing. The impression is that of solid craftsmanship with a faint rustic charm. My year-old sample was on the drier side, which I deem no disadvantage for such a blend. 3. Cold Aroma: The pouch exudes a dark, sumptuous fragrance: dried plums and figs interlaced with the gentlest touch of cocoa and the merest whisper of rum. Burley lends a nut-brown, cocoa-like undertone, while Black Cavendish smooths the ensemble into rounded warmth. The scent evokes a sense less of bright fruit than of preserved sweetness - caramelised and autumnal. 4. Smoking Characteristics: Beginning: Upon lighting, Windjammer unfolds with immediate softness - a dark, honeyed sweetness. The Virginias speak first, generous and mild; Périque follows, contributing a restrained note of fruit and peppery spice. The smoke is dense, creamy, and temperate. Middle Stage: As the bowl matures, the blend grows more sonorous: tones of currant, date, black pepper and cocoa predominate. Burley lends structure - earthy, faintly astringent - while the rum’s sweetness retreats altogether. The texture remains full, almost pasty, yielding a rounded impression at a slow cadence. Conclusion: Toward the close, sweetness diminishes; earthy and bittersweet-chocolate aspects advance. A dry warmth persists, accompanied by a discreet echo of fruit. The nicotine strength is medium but palpable. Windjammer concludes in a calm, ashy afterglow. Combustion & Technique Lighting proves effortless; the burn is steady and disciplined. The tobacco neither overheats nor produces moisture within the pipe. The ash is pale grey and delicate; the combustion cool and measured. 5. Room Note: The room note is civilised yet decidedly tobacco-forward - an accord of dark sweetness, gentle wood, and the faintest shade of rum. Suitable for tolerant company, though a little opulent for confined parlours. 6. Comparison & Context: Historically and qualitatively, Windjammer must inevitably be viewed in the shadow of Dunhill’s Deluxe Navy Rolls - that long-established benchmark of the Virginia-Périque pressings. Whereas Mr Pease’s composition gains body and mellowness from Burley and Black Cavendish, it surrenders a measure of purity and transparency. Deluxe Navy Rolls remain, to my mind, the very embodiment of the English ideal: austere, lucid, architectural in its balance. Windjammer, conversely, pursues fullness and warmth—qualities that please the senses, yet blur the fine delineation of flavour which distinguishes Dunhill’s masterpiece. Burley imparts gravitas but also a faint dryness; Black Cavendish lends generosity at the expense of tension between Virginia sweetness and Périque’s spice. Thus, Windjammer stands as a respectable American continuation of the British Navy-Blend tradition—robust, rounded, and agreeable—though lacking the filigreed elegance and precision which Deluxe Navy Rolls so effortlessly command. 7. Suitability & Recommendation: Admirably suited to evening reflection after supper. Commendable to those who favour dark, sweet-spiced mixtures. To devotees of British clarity and form, honourable though no substitute for Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls. 8. Conclusion: G. L. Pease’s Windjammer is a carefully wrought, full-bodied composition in the maritime style - marked by warmth, depth, and a certain benevolent opulence. Its strengths lie in the harmony of dark Virginias, the gentle spice of Périque, and the subdued sweetness of rum. Yet one perceives a touch of excess - a baroque amplitude at odds with linear refinement. It satisfies the yearning for comfort rather than precision. Those seeking the pure and classic expression will remain faithful to Deluxe Navy Rolls; those desiring a softer, richer, and more American rendition of the Navy theme will find in Windjammer a most companionable smoke.
