(2.54)
Peter Stokkebye's best selling blend. Superior golden African Virginias are combined with burleys and mild black cavendish then finished with a unique vanilla and chocolate essence to achieve the superb taste favored by millions.
Notes: According to an employee from Peter Stokkebye, this is the blend smoked on-screen by the actors during the filming of the Lord of the Rings movies.

The chocolate and vanilla toppings are present as advertised, along with notes of caramel. The nougat topping is pleasant, and plays above the other additives, but not by a whole lot. I don't get much tobacco flavor here outside of a light nuttiness and wood from the burley, and a touch of grass/hay from the Virginia. The strength and taste levels are mild. The nic-hit is very light. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a mostly consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. An unobtrusive all day smoke. Two and a half stars.

I have to say I really don't mind this tobacco now and again. I find it needs to sit in a jar for a few weeks to a month to dry out if it is really fresh. I think it just tastes better that way. I have some on hand all the time, at least a few ounces. On occasion, if I smoked it too fast, I got a little bite from it but that is my fault. It just tastes so good! I love the smell of aromatics but don't like to smoke most of them. This one I do.

I am a pipe smoker first and foremost, and I enjoy blends within every genre. With that said, aromatics are not generally favored. I have smoked some of the big ones, 1-Q, Barbados plantation, Molto Dolce, and a few others.

I have not come across a more enjoyable aromatic than Stokkebye's Nougat, and B&B. They are not only inoffensive, but I actually desire them from time to time as a change of pace. That is more than I can say of many other aros, most of which are, at best, a "not bad" experience.

There is just enough tobacco taste in this blend to keep it from suffering the same fate most Sutliff aros met with me, or that of most straight Cavendish tobaccos. It is not overly goopy, compared (again) to Sutliff, which is unfathomably goopy, oily, etc. and will crackle when you take a flame to it. With that said, it is delightful in the air-- room note is excellent (as an aro should be), and the casing/topping/Black Cav. portion is nicely balanced with the Burley and Virginia. Not that the latter are particularly exceptional, but good enough to add some flavor, mouth feel, etc. In other words, you know you are smoking tobacco, and don't really get the "Hot steam" thing I get from some non-exemplary aros.

This is just a relaxing, comforting, affordable blend. Nice smelling, but not like a straight Cavendish insofar as having no real flavor. The Burley and VA keep it out of that realm.

Mild nicotine. I smoked a full bowl and was somewhat aware of a nicotine presence, but nothing more than that.

I wanted to give this a try after reading that this was the tobacco all the actors smoked on the LOR movies. Not being an aromatic fan I was pleased to find out that the taste was present but light for an aromatic. Definitely hints of chocolate and vanilla, but for me, it was much more prevalent in the room note than in the smoke. The wife loved the smell and didn't mind me smoking it in the house, so it gets an extra bonus there. I wouldn't smoke this all the time but it wasn't bad at all.

I received a large sample from a friend, and I have been enjoying this. It know it is supposed to have some chocolate flavor, but I got caramel and just a little vanilla. It was a pleasant smoke, and left a nice sweet aftertaste. There is a little nuttiness and some hay in the tobacco flavors, but they are mostly carriers for the topping.

This is not an "in-your-face" aromatic. From the name/description you might expect something with an overpowering flavor, but it is on the mild side of medium here. It is easy to smoke slowly and when puffed it gets a slight tart in the profile. It did not seem particular about packing and was not fussy about relights. I have mostly been codger scooping this into large bowls.

This is a basic "all-day" aromatic for folks who smoke a lot. It would be a good blend to recommend to a beginner too.

I enjoyed my time with this one. It definitely has that confectionary taste of Nougat. I really like the Peter Stokkebye bulks and prefer them over many others. If you like vanilla and chocolate aros this is a good one.

PS-24 Nougat is very similar to Q-1. This is about the same as ciggarette tobacco. There is not much flavor. Room note is OK. Not reccomended for aromatic smokers who want smooth and flavor.

This is a delicious chocolate/vanilla/crème, sweet aromatic for the sweet tooth pipers, tastes very creamy and chocolaty with clean, even and dry burns, much better than Lane, Captain Black or other American aromatic, highly recommended for chocolate aromatic lovers.

This according to Peter years ago, told me this was the same as Tinder Box North Sea. That was true back then but somewhere things changed. Maybe the years have jaded my taste buds but this is nowhere near the same tobacco I smoked long ago. Maybe I got a bad batch but this was boring, lacked any flavor or aroma. If I didn't know better I wouldn't even think PS made it. It had very little moisture and their seemed to be no aroma right out of the bag during the huff test. I was looking forward to tobacco memories but they we're shattered with one bowl of this blend. It did burn OK but that is the best I can say about it. I hope it was a bad batch and may have to order it from TB and see if it's any better. 2 Stars

Pouch: Moderately dry, no heavy casing. Smell of vanilla, delicate application, flavored, not cased. The overall smell is rich and mouth watering. Flame: Burns well, lots of dry smoke. No harshness. No tongue bite. Taste of chocolate, little vanilla. Nice cavendish sweetness. Side stream: Smooth, fragrant, but dry smoke. Not steamy. Little nose tingle. Initially thought it was like Lanes 1Q, But 1Q is more vanilla, Nougat is more chocolate. Down Bowl: Stays dry, no bitterness from the burly. No wetness in pipe. Flavor changes to a mild sweet virginia tobacco as flavoring burns off, burly is in backround. Few relights necessary. Good morning smoke, need quite to enjoy the subtle flavor. Best prior to any food. N is slight at first, but because it does not get wet and goopy I smoked the whole pipe so the cumulative effect was medium and was satisfying at the end. Pipe was dry at end of bowl. NOT a smoke to rush. Aftertaste: Subtle tobacco, no bitterness, nice flavor on tongue, with a bit of tingle but no bite. Flavor in nose is tobacco. Conclusion: Great mild aromatic. Excellent Danish presentation, I can easily see why this is Stokkebye's best seller.
