ELLIPSIS AND GÉOMÉTRIE

A visitor from Germany wished to take back some gifties for a pipe smoker of an older generation. Something uniquely American. So naturally I suggested tobaccos from Greg Pease, as several of them are unavailable in Germany. And Greg Pease is a Californian. Of course his products are highly regarded (yes, by me) and reflect the local zeitgeist and weltanschauung perfectly. Trust me on this. I am representative of the majority.

Well, given how few pipe smokers have survived till the present, that's not many people. Two people of English ancestry, one German, and three Dutch Americans, two of whom possess Dutch surnames, and a South African gentleman. Not enough biologically speaking to form a viable breeding population. Besides, none of us can run fast enough to overtake females of the species. Anyway, running isn't dignified.

[There are also several smokers of aromatic products like BCA, RLP 6, and 1Q floating around. They don't count.
They're probably sterile. A vicious miasma surrounds them, and they may be rogues or diseased.]

Years ago it was different. We thundered in vast herds across the prairie.

So I recommended two recent examples from G. L. Pease.

Ellipsis and Géométrie.

Both are Virginia based, with additional tobaccos added condimentally.

Ellipsis consists of Virginias with a little Turkish and Perique. Flake. It is contemplative, medium strength. Géométrie is also a Virginia-based product, with more Turkish added for zest. Plug. Slightly spicy. Milder than Ellipsis because Turkish is lower in Nicotine, but a richer flavour. Both products excite me. Breeding frenzy level.

[Ellipsis besteht aus Virginias mit ein bisschen Türkisches tabakblatt und Perique. Flake (gepresste scheiben). Es ist sehr besinnlich, und mittelstark. Géométrie ist ebenfalls ein Virginia-basiertes produkt, dem noch mehr Türkisch für mehr würze zugesetzt wurde. Ein plug (bloktabak). Leicht blumig. Milder als Ellipsis, da Türkische blätter weniger nikotin enthälten, aber ein reicheres aroma. Beide produkte begeistern mich, fast bis zum brutrausch.]

[Ellipsis bestaat uit Virginia tabakken met een beetje Turks en perique. Een flake (geperste plakjes). Het is zeer contemplatief en heeft een gemiddelde sterkte. Géométrie is ook een product van Virginia blad, met nog meer Turkse tabak voor ietwat meer pittigheid. Een plug (bloktabak). Licht bloemig. Milder dan Ellipsis, omdat Turks tabaksblad minder nicotine bevat, maar het heeft een rijkere aroma. Beide producten bekoren me zeer, bijna tot euforie.

Both are good with a cup of tea while pissing-off cigar smokers.
Which is also something I recommend.
Very highly.
