Quiet Nights Released

3rd May, 2010: Posted by glpease in Product News, New Blends

The Chicago show is over. I wasn’t there, but I’ve heard many wonderful things already, and know there’s more to come. I missed it being there, but that’s the way it goes. I’ll enjoy it vicariously through the stories others tell. Could be worse.

Of course, Quiet Nights was released there, and there have been a few words mentioned on some of the forums. I have received a couple of emails (is that really a word?) with exclamation points following words like, “Fantastic,” and “Wow.” So far, quite promising.

A couple of retailers did have the blend before the show, and started selling it last Thursday, so I’m guessing there are tins in a few post boxes today, waiting to be opened. I really can’t wait to know what people think about it.

I’m always a little nervous when a new release hits the shelves. Sure, I like the stuff, or I wouldn’t have released it. Sure, I’ve tested it on a few others, and they’ve liked it. But there’s a big difference between a small handful of test smokers, and something going live in prime time. You’d think after over a decade of doing this, I’d be used to it by now, but I’m not. It’s my version of stage-fright, which, ironically, I rarely experience on stage.

So, please, forgive my hand-wringing, pacing back and forth, checking the net dozens of times each day until I see the words that will let me breathe again. Even it the reviews are dreadful, at least I won’t have to wonder anymore. But, that’s silly. They won’t be. The stuff really is good!

If you’ve gotten yours, and have smoked a few bowls, I’d love to read your comments here.

Cheers,

    Got my tins last week. Tin description is spot on; a wonderful, rich smoke! Over the past several years, I’ve tried many brands - some supposedly being the hallmark blends by which all others are measured. I find that your blends set the bar and when I do venture, most others come up short. Rest easy, your attention to detail and quality of your blends come through tin after tin.

    I was really excited when my package came with my tins of quiet nights. This would be the first time I ever ordered multiple tins without even a puff or two. I know what I like and when I read the ingredients along with knowing the blender I can taste it even before it comes. Unlike Chelsea. which I LOVE, QN is a bolder fuller taste that just suites me much in the same way 5 or 6 other GLP blends, along the english lines, do. Chelsea and Quiet Nights keeps by pipes smoking all day long and a big smile on my face. Thanks Greg!!!!!!!!
