A wonderful blend with a subtle, but defiantly noticeable, sweet taste of honey and Vanilla (although less vanilla). The only time I get an astringent taste (I think some may refer to it orange) is if it's smoked repeatable and often, taking too big of a draw and not letting the pipe rest between puffs. For me to get the full taste of the honey casing is by clenching on the pipe in the teeth and ever so gently, slowly and calmly puffing and letting the smoke almost float out of my mouth. Otherwise I get what others have described as orange / citrus (as I mentioned, for me a bitter astringent taste) Once you've got the hang of it, you will be rewarded with a full flavoured quality aromatic.

Slight vanilla with ORANGE! Very unique. Reminds me a little of the old DreamSicle if you are old enough to remember. Burns quickly so tamp often or you will lose the flavor. Burns down to complete ash. Definite Vit. N so don't stand up too quickly.

I enjoy this tobacco a lot. It has a mild aromatic flavour not overpowering and my wife appreciated the pleasant room note. It was a comfort to smoke and not overwhelming. The flavour changes as you smoke to the bottom of the bowl from a little taste of citrus to vanilla. I noticed a little bit of moisture collecting towards the end of the smoke. Great morning smoke with coffee or tea. This is definitely a tobacco at the top of my list.

i like the tin - simple, round, classic. after opening... not much. does smell of tobacco, and this is where it ends. after several bowls, i find this one boring. there is no distinctive flavor, no special aroma, pretty much nothing much. cant taste anything here, to be honest. kinda 'whatever' if you get what i mean. i would not buy this again - there just ain't anything about it. i love aromatics, and this one just isn't it.

This is one of my favorite blend when I don't want to annoy the nonsmokers around. The room get filled with an aroma quite profound of V and B slightly. Taste is enjoyable but in time tend to burn your tongue a bit. Anyway, when your tongue start to feel the N, the Cavendish start to be predominant. So, try with confidence this blend, nothing can go wrong, but don't exaggerate vanilla and honey will provoke your stomach to riot....

One of the best aromatics I've smoked. Perefect balance of light flavoring and smooth tobacco taste. Not a goopy, "candy" aro by any means. Great room note. I've been smoking this tin on and off for six month and it is great. I usually smoke english blends. Enjoy amigos!

I have had Luxury Blend in my stock for the last 3-4 years. I bought this and it has sat sealed in my collection for some time. I have thought to try it many times, but due to the other bulk tobaccos in my stock I always set it aside. I finally decided to break the seal and give it a try and was I every amazed to what I have been missing! This is one of the best tasting tinned Peterson tobaccos I have tried in many years. The room note is great, the taste is 10 out of 10 and the smoking pleasure is top notch. If you have not tried this blend, please do yourself a favor and go out a get a tin. This is a great summer to fall smoke and is going to be in high rotation throughout the many fall nites and through the winter months! Have a great fall! MZMN 9-10-12

I purchased this tobacco today from my local pipe shop and I was pleased. The tin note is sweet, but not overwhelming. Reminds me more of a vanilla blend I used to smoke called Bella Vanilla. For the new pipe smoker, I wouldn't recommend, it will bite you easy if your not careful. The room note is nice, again, just a vanilla, I am pleased with my purchase but I'm looking for something different rather than the same old vanilla haha. I'll give this tobacco a 3 out of 4 stars and will probably buy it again.

Mix with Peterson University flak in 1:1 ratio is perfect. You can get stronger flavor and nicotine level from the flake and pleasant room note from Luxury Blend.

This was the first pipe tobacco I tried and I love it . The taste is really nice, and has a creamy feel to the smoke I think it might be the vanilla. I really did not pickup on the orange flavor in taste or smell but I did taste the honey and vanilla. This tobacco was easy to light and it had a nice cool smoke from start to finish. On the down side this tobacco did burn a bit hot and there was some gurgle but it's nothing a bit of slow draws on the pipe and a pipe cleaner can't solve. All in all it is a good tobacco and I will have to buy more because I just ran out .

In looking for a rich quality tobacco having nice nicotine levels with a great room note I found it in this. However it didn't come easy. I'm still a novice but several months ago as a beginner this was the first tobacco I smoked. I don't reccomend it for beginners. Given several months for experience and age on the tobacco I found what works best for me and find it to be very pleasurable. In the tin I get something of what might smell like a fruity dark rum, this is quality you can smell in rich tobacco. On the palette it is rich and thick tobacco flavor. If you're used to mild flavored aromatics and looking for those orange, honey, and vanilla flavors you will be disappointed. As most think of aromatics in that manner I think Petersons suffers a bit from honesty. The vast majority of "pure" tobacco blends have some topping that's not noted, but the tin description is honest and accurate, "an exquisite blend" "with a fabulous aroma" and it is that. For my own notes, I now use rich aromatic, flavored aro, and non aro. It does seem a bit better with age and some dry time. It also smokes very hot. My success came with a thick walled briar using a filter, and taking time as it seems it's meant only to be sipped. and in doing so comes a nice slow full tobacco flavor smoke with a good bit of nicotine and a room note as good or better than any. It also burns down to a clean dry ash.

In my opinion the best of the Peterson aromatics. I can't taste the orange at all, but it does taste like the deluxe mixture with a little something taken away, and a little something added. Very pleasant in the morning with coffee. The nic levels are perfect. Will probably buy more of this.

The combination of flavors in this blend work really well together. You don't get the taste or smell of any of the individual components, rather a well rounded combination. The flavors also do not over power the under laying taste of good quality tobaccos. Once again, another enjoyable smoke from Peterson.

This is an uncomplicated blend that does its aromatic job. Unlike "de luxe mixture" this blend manages to get all its flavours out and the room note is quite delicious. Like many aromatics, this is a room-note crowd pleaser, but at least it gives something back to the smoker.

This is a very mild and fruity flavored blend that I would recommend to both a newer pipe smoker, or a seasoned aromatic pipester. It has as a bonus a wonderful room note to keep the ladies happy! A very good offer from Peterson.

Maybe some vanilla, maybe maple/Carmel , maybe some berry, maybe some anise,I don't get the orangebut nice. I bought this a week ago and it seemed hot and steamy, now, after a week to breath, a very pleasant smoke. I'm not an aromatic kind of smoker, but this one I can get by with. I'm smoking this now and I seem to be getting some bitterness about half way through the bowl, NO wait, it's a chocolate. I might keep this one around. This would be great with a nice cup of coffee. No gurgle, no real bite, wife didn't complain, I can only hope it will age well since this is a once a week smoke.

Uau.. if you are an aromatic fan this is your blend! I've tried so many different ones and there are a few that I think deserve a gold medal, but this one? Hell yeah! You open the tin and it's like a christmas present: the tobacco presents to you beautiful and lose. The blacks, golds and browns mix together to create a remarkable blend! So smooth, great tobacco taste (the sweetness from the Virginias and a beautiful hint of creaminess from the Cavendish’s) and a fruity/vanilla taste just tops the hole cake. ¾ of the bowl smoked and you start to feel the nicotine. There’s a much stronger taste, you loose the sweetness from the Virginias and the creaminess tasted in the beginning is no longer there. Curiously the room note stays almost the same: nice, smooth and creamy (almost woody) smell. One of the best for me!

Actually I'm a fan of Peterson and this blend has almost everything that I expect from a tobacco. Very smooth burning, little bite and no exaggerated aroma. I think you will love it as well as everybody around you.

I've enjoyed other Peterson blends so I was anticipating this one. Maybe I got a bad tin but this was like drawing hot air through my pipe. I've noticed there are reviews of blends in which some of the critics claim the particular blend was overcased with sickeningly sweet goop and other reviewers say the same blend had no aromatic qualities at all. I wonder if the problem is one of quality control and consistency by the blending company. According to the label, this blend was cased with orange, vanilla and honey. In an attempt to salvage this tin and get some flavor into it I've sprinkled a few drops of triple sec onto the paper liner and closed the tin tightly for a few days. We'll see how it works in a couple of days. In the future I'll stick with Sweet Mystery, Peterson's Deluxe and the Stanwell stuff. UPDATE: Well, the triple sec treatment didn't help at all. I finished the tin anyway but I'm not likely to get another.

Peterson's Luxury Blend smells and tastes as though it were a special, secret, hand-crafted blend of which only the worthiest of pipe smokers were allowed to partake. And for just around twelve bucks, you too can feel like you're part of that royal brotherhood of distinguished pipe smokers...because no experienced and distinguished pipe smoker would ever turn this down. Luxury Blend by Peterson is a beautifully crafted leaf through and through. Where to begin? Upon opening the tin, you are immediately greeted by the variety of Virginia tobaccos, and you can really smell each different one. A delicious amalgam of fruity, almost fig-like smells, a nice roasted and aged woodsy undertone, and to top it off, a peppery spicy smell that's sure to tantalize tickle your nose. Add the sweet and chocolaty aroma of Black Cavendish and the toasted nuttiness of good old Burley, all cased in a delicate, sweet smelling citrus-honey-vanilla casing, and you have yourself one hell of a smoke. The taste is quite luxurious indeed. Beautifully complex and flavorful, but mild enough to not overpower the smoker (or his mates) with heavy and overly rich tobacco taste and smell. The smell of Luxury is definitely distinct and may not be enjoyed by everyone, but those who do enjoy it will have a symphony of great smell and flavor from their first puff to their last. Furthermore, this blend smokes cool, dry, and without bite. It makes for a very relaxing, rich after-dinner smoke, and can be enjoyed just as fully as the world's finest cigars. In summary, this stuff is a damn fine smoking tobacco. If you like pipes and feel like smoking a bowl of the King's private stash, save yourself a count of treason and possible beheading and find this instead. You'll have bested the stingy King, and be smoking higher quality stuff than all of the crowned heads of Europe. Win win for the savvy smoker with royal tastes.
