| This is one of the first tobaccos that I smoked. It has a wonderful aroma, it lit and burned well and has no bite.

| I find Gold Blend by Peterson to be of my favorite ocasional tobaccos to smoke earlier in the day. It presents itself as an aromatic from the moment you open the lid you get that Cinnamony-Vanilla aroma. The cut of the tobacco is in all shapes and forms, which to me looks more like a potpourri of diversity of tobacco.
I love an aromatic tobacco and like any aromatic they do have a tendency to bite thhe tongue if smoked too fast. Personally I really did not notice any tongue bite with this blend.
The aroma of the tobacco while smoking is not overwhelming but yet presenting itself as a mild sweetness.
I do recommend when selecting this tobacco to have one or more pipes designated for this tobacco. I find that Gold Blend, Blue Note and Sweet Vanilla Honeydew compliment each other and can be all smoked in the same pipes.

| This blend had me vexed. It is a very strong aromatic much like Blue Note, although a little lighter. It is also very obviously made with quality leaf. The problem I had is that it bites like a rabid ferret! The taste is wonderful- but that just gets me to smoking faster and getting bit that much worse. Smoking slower didn't help much either. Drying out and DGT were also useless. I finally had to give the rest of the can to a friend who ended up having the same problem. The blending in the can was also very inconsistent. There were all sizes of cuts involved and even a ball of paste I can only hope was casing! All in all a tasty tobacco that I just couldn't handle. (And I regularly smoke red VA flakes!!!) Stick with the pricier Blue Note- It's worth it!!!

| Fragrant burley? Mmmmm....?
Whenever I read "black cavendish" my eyes glaze over; whenever the flavour of this processed leaf predominates, I fall right down to sleep. This is the mildest, lightest aromatic excuse for wasting a match.
The hickory nut, a Dixie cousin of the Tonka bean, more usually seen hereabouts as a flavouring agent for basse cuisine cheeses and meats, gives this concoction a cute smell when you burn it, but you cant't rally taste it. Ditto the cinnamon.
For fanciers of the lightest aromatics.
