Peterson - 2017 Special Reserve.
As you can see from the picture on here it's supplied in the standard Peterson Ltd. edition tin, which is always a good start as where there's usually a strong seal instead it uses a push-clip fastener, thusly allowing some breathing. The blend looks a lot more like a mixture than a straight ribbon, there's more than one piece of flake in there. The black cavendish accounts for only about 20% of the blend, the majority's medium, and light brown pieces.
The smoking: it isn't the slowest burning of blends, so fast puffers may be a bit disappointed! But with a more tentative technique it's a cracking smoke. Where the aromatics are concerned I get lots more caramel than vanilla. It isn't too heavily added, but nor is it too light: medium to strong. It never seems clumsy; just sweet and tasty. I get a dominance of burley at first, but after a short while it becomes an even amount of burley to Virginia, the black cav always comes last. Although the burn can be a touch fervent, the consistency of it's flawless; a light, sit back, and relax smoke.
Room-note: very pleasant. Nicotine: mild.
I'll happily highly recommend 2017 Special Reserve:
Four stars.
