Tin appearance:Black and tan for the main with some very bright cornflake yellow blond fleks,,,rough cut and ribbony pot pouri appearance.

Tin aroma:Confection like,ala christmas chockolates,strawberry fondant,almonds,vanilla,turkish delight.Evidentally aromatic but no actual chocolate really,more like the essence of what is the mystery contents/centre of such hypothetical allegorical chocolates.The aroma smells rich at point blank nasal range, but not over heavy;lightly vanilla cased with perhaps a lighter fruitier topping.

Tin moisture and feel:Feels ok and dry enough to smoke without airing(but experience has taught me that peterson aromatics benefit from a little airing for a while before packing).

Smoked in a 6" in clay(my usual testing standard),initial ignition with a gas lighter and some big puffs to get it cooking threatens to nip my tongue but;once heated i refrain my cadence to let it cool to a smoulder point and sip it.

Sipping prevents nip,which after a 1/4 inch depth has been burned,it nolonger threatens and seems to self control itself into an a neutral PH state from which i can judge its settled properties.

The first thing i notice is the topping which is like an aromatic fruit tea,,unsweetened and non cordial or confection like compared to the tin aroma which is a good start. I detect more of a topping aspect than a casing while smoking,and there is no bloating sickly factor.

The aroma doesn't intrude over the tobacco which although milder compared to other things (things) i smoke,,,it does have a tobacco taste..(i can still taste).

The baccy beneath is harder for me to describe because aromatics are not really my speciality and they don't convey as much to my imagination but;this in its pensive aescetic silence said a lot with few words because it left me to really think about it..It had a buddha smile staring into the horizon as i tried like a fool to fathom the cosmic reason.Bliss and Nada,the realm of natural balance beyond my natural karmic propensities and indulgent urge to just smoke a brutal rope without second thought.

As i got into it and the bowl settled, the tobacco itself reminded me of aromatic natural white steamed rice 'simple'which made me think of japan actually,,,gently sipping away(for once)the ingredient leaf combines to creat a natural rice like taste(in an interesting way and not an appology for blandness). Uncluttered,measured and subtle like a great song heard as a whisper throught the wind i concentrated and envisioned levitation.

Back to the topping scent(although this tabacco smells cased in the tin,it doesn't manifest itself as a charecteristic in the smoking experience,which is the way it should be),,,;it imparts an aroma and mild taste like fruit tea over the bowl of rice (tobacco) as a compliment - simultaneous like two separate entities happening at the same time in syncronicity ,without one dominating the other.(imagine eating a ball of rice with a cup of aromatic fruit tea)aromatic and not a cherry bomb.

It has got a nice balance,behaviour and consistancy.when i pause my sipping cadence to breath and swallow my spit,i get a light cavendishy burley sweet bitter taste like a white wheat beer,,;not necessarily nutty,but perhaps more lemon grassy and water chestnut..

The cavendish scent up my nose is pleasing and sweet and on my pallete comparable to a fresh crisp sugar snap(a cross between a runnerbean and sweet pea in a pod type green thing)with a yeastyness natural and nothing fortified,artificial or synthetic.

The room note:i smoke outside BTW and sometimes the wind gives me a good passing pedestrian impression whiff of my activity,,,;its mild pleasant without being promiscuous.

While i was smoking this i was initially fighting my conciousness of the fact that i was smoking an 'aromatic',,like a man lost in a lingerie labrinth of aisles while trying to take a shortcut to the exit in a nightmare department store; trying find my way out like pacman before a shop assistant asks me if i need some help.(its a reoccuring nightmare i have sometimes when i get lost in the knickers section and find i have lost my trousers,,the CC TV hasn't discovered me yet and the devil gives me an ultimatum of what i would rather do;the choice of being naked or wearing the knickers) I got over that initial thinking dogma,;sure i can smoke the heaviest stuff,but this has in its ambient lotus pose ,another perspective to judge my usual choice tobacco; like a contemplative yogi observing the senceless destructive, austentacious random brute, showy animal nature of the 'incredible hulk'.

Only recently have i tried the slower smoking style so i can bring my briars out o play without smoking the briar itself,and its working;it means i get a longer lasting experience beyond my usual long waited nicoteeen fix relief between working shifts(something that can be savoured instead of devoured like a starving POW)

I think this might be my first tin of this,and i have ordered the complete range of peterson tobacco before and either i missed this one or didn't take any notes on it(i discovered i liked old dublin,irish oak and university so much that perhaps this didn't make such an impression). This is preferable to some of the peterson aromatics and less than others,and i would say its in the middle but its a good middle.

I don't think i will actively go out of my way to buy another because i bought it for a reminder of what aromatics are about(they make good back up baccy)i have some other peterson aromatics on hand which i think i might prefer but i still need to do a proper taste trial on them.

This has mild nicoteen,no soap,although a bit spikey in the beginning it has no tongue bite. It needs to be savoured and probably smoked in a larger bowl as a company while doing something else like reading a fat book.

I could give it 3 stars but feel i should realistically give it 2 because the other star is more about my imagination whilst smoking it ,which doesn't come in the tin.

Sunset Breeze is a middle of the road aromatic blend, perfectly smokeable but nothing outstanding, mild in strength and taste so it wont get you leaping out of your chair, but if you are looking for a smoke which will not upset the people around you while still giving a pleasant enough smoke then you could do much worse than this offering from Peterson.

A really dam good smoke!

This blend smells like Amaretto, but the taste of the Ameretto is faint. Once again, I think the casing overwhelms the tobacco flavors, so what you are left with is an aftertaste of sweet liquor and foul tasting chemicals. This has more flavor than Sweet Killarney (that is not saying very much), but is inferior to other Amaretto blends I've sampled. Peterson pipes are great; the two I own are both excellent, in appearance and smoking quality. But their tobacco blends all seem to be either excellent or poor. This one falls into the latter category.

Upon my first opening of the tin, I knew right away that I had a good quality tobacco. The aroma was definitely amaretto and I loved the way that it smelled. Again, I immediately recognized the quality of the product I had in my hands.

The tobacco packed well and while moist, it wasn't gooey to touch. It burned evenly and did not get hot or bite, which being a little out of practice in the art of smoking was surprising to me. The room note was amazingly pleasant and I enjoyed smelling the smoke coming off my pipe almost as much as I did the smoke in my mouth.

This tobacco seems to have a mild note when smoked as opposed to the strong amaretto aroma in the tin. This allowed more to the tobacco flavor to come through, yet retained some of the flavor of the casing.

I detected some spice to this blend, although I'm not sure where it comes from. It isn't overpowering, and actually enhances the experience of smoking, as the taste stands out a bit more than more mellow blends.

Overall, this was a very pleasant experience in smoking. Sunset Breeze has the aromatic qualities I look for while also possessing a bit more strength in its tobacco blends. I consider finding and enjoying this product a rite of passage from run-of-the-mill tobaccos I've usually smoked to better, more quality blends.

I certainly enjoyed this smoke and recommend it to others like me who are looking for a reliable blend of tobacco to expand their tobacco smoking pleasure.

I’m afraid this chemical flavouring is a feature which nearly all Peterson’s aromatics are guilty of.

The one exception is Connoisseurs Choice which is a truly magnificent aromatic. Granted there are a lot of people out there who love this tobacco. Sadly I’ll never join those ranks. I’ll give Sunset Breeze two stars, both of which are for the tin note.

I find no difficulty in packing the pipe and it has a nice draw once packed. At first the tobacco does seem a bit wet and you might have to light it more than two or so times before it's taken. I prefer the moist tobacco as it makes for a nice cool smoke.

The smoking experience and taste is pleasant and you get a milder form of what you smelt in the tin together with a caramel tone. At first when smoking it does feel rather full bodied but as the moisture in the tobacco gets less it turns into a smooth smoking experience.

It's rather expensive here so not an everyday smoke, I find it best after dinner relaxing and enjoying the smoke. As the tin suggests: "put a bit of luxury in your pipe".

The aroma from the tin is of sweet almonds which shows through in the room note as well. On the palate it's joined by a caramel flavor as well.

Like many aromatics, for me it seemed to turn towards bitter as I neared the middle of the bowl. Forget about smoking to the bottom- way too hot for my tongue and palate.

That said, if a great smelling aromatic is what you're looking for this one has some finesse. --------------- Rethinking this post, not only have I moved away from aromatics, but I feel that Killarney was hard to keep lit. Have to pull a star...but who cares, since this is all quite subjective anyway? Cheers.
