Peterson Sweet Killarney
(2.24)
A unique mixture of selected tobaccos including golden Virginia and black cavendish, topped with a cream caramel flavor. To make this wonderful tobacco even more attractive, it is blended with hand-rubbed Virginia flake which results in a fantastic aroma.
Notes: Due to EU regulations, this is now renamed and sold in those countries as "Killarney".

I'm keen on most Peterson blends. However, this is probably the rotten apple in the barrel. It's just so...bland. Whilst I have persevered with this tin ( which is a bad sign for me), perseverance has led to disappointment. The aroma is the one strength but this tobacco burns too quickly, and I draw gently on my church warden it still can turn too hot. This is one of the three I wouldn't recommend. The other two are Irish Oak and Sherlock Holmes.

Do not waste your money on this! I purchased a tin of this on my birthday last year (that was, alas, before I had discovered this website). Had I known of tobaccoreviews.com, I NEVER would have tried it.
How would I describe this blend? As bland, bland, bland! It produced smoke, but no flavor. I smoked four or five bowls of this, all in different pipes, and the result was always the same - disappointing. I then decided to throw in some black cavendish to see if that might bring out some flavor. The result? I tasted the black cavendish and nothing else. If I was stranded on a desert island and had nothing but this to smoke, I would give up pipe smoking. Peterson makes great pipes and has some fantastic blends, but this is not one of them.

I'm not sure if this post should count as a review, I remember not being able to finish a whole bowl of this.

Sweet Kilarney is shit
Save your money.
This shit tasted like a hot chemical factory, ignore what anyone else says, as they are probably from Peterson's and are promoting this debacle.
It is shit. Smokes like shit and is shit.
This is a total abortion of a blend from Peterson's, in fact, why are they even still selling this stuff.
Hot, rank, artificial, and a total waste of time. Let alone money!!
C R A P ! ! ! ! !

I was fortunate enough to get this tin for free. However, it was quite disappointing. My first bowl of this stuff was extremely difficult to keep lit, and when it was lit, it just burned a scalding hot mess. The flavoring you anticipate with both the open tin aroma, and smoke essence, doesn't translate to the actual flavor of the tobacco. While the room note is pleasing, I smoke for MY enjoyment, not to my detriment for the pleasure of others. Would NOT purchase this tin, and probably won't finish the one I have.

If you've done something wrong and you want to punish yourself while pleasing the others try this blend. Great smell around, awful, dreadful on your tongue and palate, burns like hell and bites like it.

I wanted to like this tobacco. I really did.
It has a great caramel note in the tin which does carry through to the room note.
But as others have commented, it does burn hot and with trouble.
Really only for a beginner, IMHO.

When you open the Tin the aroma makes you salivate. So I pack my bowl and anticipate a great smoke. It is the worst tobacco I have smoked. Burns way to hot and it really has nothing that makes you want even try to finish the bowl.

Fornicate me!!!!!!
The single worst tobacco since modern day 'Clan' that I've ever tasted.
It was like smoking 'white hot' bubble blow mixture that the kids play with in the back garden during a birthday party.
Worst of the Peterson range by a country mile. Which is a shame as some of their aro's are standouts. Why on earth do they still process this abortion of a blend is way beyond me.
After popping the vacuum sealed tin, and smoking just one bowlfull, I promptly emptied the rest of the tins contents over the flower borders in my garden. A perfect way I think to stop cats shitting on the Fucias... Total toxic waste in a tin. Don't waste your time or money.
Blerk!!!!!
De Luxe blend, Connisours Choice, or Sunset Breeze are the aromatic standout's that Peterson produce.
This Sweet Kilarney garbage needs to be dropped from their range.....now.
