| It always troubles me when I read a Tin of tobacco and see all the wonderful flavors that are SUPPOSED to be in the blend and simply ARE NOT. This is a tasteless tobacco and a waste of a $10 bill. Smoke your pipe empty...you'll get the same results.

| Hmmmm. Very beautiful tin aroma, a bit overwhelming at first. The next day, it has significantly reduced. A lot of coarse cut, from the Golden VAs. When smoked, it is bland, I cannot taste any tobacco and there is no strength to it.

| Nice nutty and sweet flavor, but not cloying sweet. Slow starting but after it gets going, burns nice with no tongue bite.

| A really nice smoke! Apon opening the tin there is a wonderful aroma dominated by rum and Macadamia nuts. When smoking, I picked up on the rum and the nuts, but have yet to find the coconut. It's a very pleasant smoke and when puffed carefully, it's nothing but smooth. This one is definitely wife friendly, so enjoy!

| I'm a big fan of this particular Peterson blend - I find it to taste both coco-nutty and chocolaty which is a delicious combination.
When you open the tin a all empowering aroma becomes evident - reminding me a little of a full bodied fruit wine. It smokes well and the moisture level out of the tin is close to perfect - the guys at Peterson really know what they are doing.

| I am a big fan of Irish Flake, Hyde Park, and Holiday Season 2012 and decided to try some of the other Peterson offerings. Upon opening the tin there was a very colorful offering of ribbon cut leaf with a pleasing tin note - although not as prominent as with Hyde Park or HS 2012. I was able to smell the rum and coconut but not the Macadamia Nut. Moisture level was right for smoking and I had no problem with lighting or keeping the fire going. I could taste the coconut and rum throughout the smoke, albeit way milder than the flavorings in HP and HS '12. There was a nut like flavor that wafted in and out but I wouldn't have guessed Macadamia if I didn't know beforehand. It didn't smoke too hot for being so fresh nor was there any bite or moisture buildup. It managed to maintain a subtle sweetness throughout and it did have some tobacco presence, but it was way milder than HP and HS '12. Very nice for an occasional aromatic smoke, but if HP is still present and I ration my 3 1/2 tins of HS '12 over time, Nutty Cut won't be in my first string line up. Still recommended with 3 stars, but my taste buds have been spoiled with Hyde Park and Holiday Season 2012.

| This is a nice aromatic. I think of nothing wrong with it other than its not strong. I like flakes (Orlik, Dunhill Navy Cut, etc). I pick up a bunch of rum and not so much coconut. I enjoy this and as someone said, it's a nice change from the more "serious" tobaks. This is not to say anything negative. All strengths of tobak have a place in the "rotation" (like baseball pitchers). Good stuff here!

| This blend has a mixture of coconut flavor some other taste I can't define. It tastes weird and leaves a gosh-awful aftertaste.

| Really interesting. When I first opened it, I thought "Oh, here's another aromatic from Peterson, whoopdeedoo." It has a very strong tin note, fruity, rummy, nutty.
In the pipe, this stuff is wonderful. I get the rum, but this smokes more like a dark flake than a Danish type aromatic. Really, if they'd called this Peterson Navy Blend it would be appropriate I think.
I enjoy big pipefuls of this when I can't decide between an aromatic and a "serious" tobacco. This is kind of a go-between.
Very good blend, and kind of unique. No bite, decent strength, and certainly a very tasty blend.

| I did not get the chance as a previous reviewer to enjoy the special edition 2007 but that is a fine aromatic with a discreet aroma.
When opening the tin the fruity aroma comes quite strong. Apricot or apple. One day I said 'marshamallow' and that can be quite disturbing.
Nice smoke with a discreet but persistant aroma. There are stronger aromatic from Peterson but that one is worth a try for its discreet and distinctive qualities.

| Once again another great blend from Peterson. The Virginia, Burley, and Black Cavendish marry nicely with the casing of Macadamian nuts, rum, and coconut (the latter of which is least noticeable). The blend burns nice and evenly down, but a tad on the warmer side. Take your time with this blend, lightly sipping on it and you will be greatly rewarded with a very good experience.

| I failed to read the tin before I bought this, was thinking it would be more pecan or walnut (something of the sort). I do not care for coconut at all, but this was not a bad tobacco at all. I'm sure that if I like coconut the would be joining my rotation as I am enjoying it anyway. Low on Vitamin N and the wife says it "smells better than some of your others." for her that is a compliment.

| This is one of my favorite tobaccos! Such a mild smoke you can smoke quite a few bowls of it with little to no bite.
When I was first introduced to this tobacco I was so impressed that I thought I would never find another tobacco that could take it's place.
This is a tobacco that has a lightness and sweetness like angel cake vs heavy chocolate cake (I do like both mind you). Do not expect this to be a strong intense smoke. It is not for those who crave a ultra sweet and powerful bang. This is for us that like mild and elegant flavors.
Nutty cut does not have an overpowering coconut taste and smell, infact it's a pretty light aroma and flavor. I do not get the sense of coconut when smoking this. But more of an organic earthy aroma of warm baked nutty muffins.
Nutty Cut will always be one fo my favorites!

| This aro, has the same problem like almost all aros;NO BODY/STRENGH. I like the flavour of it but the mouthfeeling is ....? Some hot sour air with no body to make it round , pleasant and satisfying. Not to forget it tends to burn hot and pain the tongue even if it is smoked slowly. The exhale through the nose offers a nice aroma, the rum is detectable which is nice to me and some tobacco is there to. all in all much to light

| I had to check my notes to be certain: this appears to be a close relative of (if not identical to) Peterson's Special Reserve Limited Edition from 2007. According to the labels from both, it is the same tobacco and the same aromatics. I've smoked a lot of tobacco since then, but I remember that I really liked the Special Reserve blend from 2007. And missed it once my two tins were finished.
With some reservations, I purchased a tin to see. Upon opening it, by olfactory memory fired up and confirmed that this was just about the same. And as before, I like it very much. In addition, the room note is very pleasant as well.
So I am very happy to see this "return". It may not be exactly the same, but it's close enough for "government work"!
Thanks, Peterson!
If you want to see my notes on this aromatic blend from 2007 (or its very close cousin), see my review of Special Reserve Limited Edition 2007.

| I thoroughly enjoyed this product. I am an aromatic smoker, and enjoy mostly sweet Cavendish blends. This tin really hit the spot. The first couple bowls had a noticeable coconut aroma and flavor to them, but about half way through the tin that was gone, perhaps the tobacco dried out too much. What was consistent for me was the hazelnut taste. After the bowl was finished I found that taste to linger on. I didn't pick up on the rum at all. The tobacco smoked evenly, and fairly cool throughout. I would buy this tin again hands down. I enjoy Peterson products very much, and this new blend surely did not disappoint.

| I have been enjoying this blend immensly. I had gotten away from ARO's for many reasons. I was hesitant to give this a try. I was pleasntly surprised went i lit the first bowl.
Prelight aroma gives me an image a Carribean island and cool drink. Fruity and sweet. The flavor that I got was one of very light coconut. I only was able to taste the nutty flavor every once and a while. The smoke was cool through each pipe I smoked it through, and left no unpleasant aftertaste. The room note is so pleasing that I almost want to burn it as incense. All in all this blend has brought an ARO back into my regular rotation of tobacco.

| The smell from the time was a very sweet (but not sickly) aroma of vanilla and a hint of rum. The tobacco itself is easy to light but not so much that it's like a tinderbox and I find keeps lit rather well.
Smoking wise I will be honest and say I was a little disappointed during the first 1/3 of the bowl: yes it is a sweet smoke but it's very faint and burns a little hot.
However once you reach half way through the bowl it changed instantly from a flat and hot smoke to a very sweet and cool smoke. When drawing the smoke it was that cool I couldn't feel it in my mouth instead the flavour creeps along your tongue leaving the taste of sweet rum. Exhaling through the nose you are left with the taste of nuts.
Towards the end the nutty taste dominates the smoke and becomes more potent, almost replacing the taste of rum and vanilla completely.
In my opinion it is one of the finest aromatics I've smoked and will be buying more Nutty Cut in future.

| Despite a wonderfully rich aromatic smell upon opening, the taste is alot less cased than you think. Unlike the usual "wet" aromatics, the gold, red and dark ribbon Virginia blend smokes dry - like coconut and macadamia nuts would be. Could use a little more rum. "Why is the rum always gone?"
