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".

The third Peterson I've tried. The tin promises caramel flavor and so does the unlighted tobacco. The tin aroma is very pleasant and you can sense the caramel in it. You light it up and yes, the caramel is still there but it is just a topping, just to make the tobacco more enjoyable. Even tough it's an aromatic, it burns dry and doesn't heat the pipe nor burn the tongue. The room note is fantastic, you don't want to loose it. Burns quite long and leaves just some dry ash.

Sweet Killarney (now Old Killarney) was my first Petersons blend and my first real introduction to a fun aromatic blend.
The first thing one will note is that the tobacco is roughly cut and mixed with finer cuts, this can make packing a smaller bowl a bit of a challenge. I found that tearing some of the larger pieces made more sense rather than trying to pack them.
The tobacco make take several lightings to get going, I have always found that this tobacco goes out quickly, yet needs to be smoked slowly. This can be a challenge to a newer smoker like myself.
Smoking this tobacco slowly is key. My first pipe was a Dr.Grabow and it destroyed my tongue, I upgraded to a Kirten and have not had any problems since. This tobacco can burn very hot if you draw too quickly and take away the subtle hints of flavor that this tobacco was designed to give.
Always a crowd pleaser for sure. Any wife will want you to make it a regular smoke around her.

When I'm in the mood to put a candie bar in my pipe this is the blend I choose. It smells awsome in the tin and looks pretty too. It won't bite and really tastes like warm creamy caramel. Although it smells and tastes like a candie bar, it also has a good tobacco taste too underneath all that flavour. A good choice for a aromatic smoke. One of my favorites.

This is my favourite "desert tobacco". As other reviews have stated it has a rich caramel flavour and just in general is an enjoyable pipe. The room note is also pure caramel, and so is not likely to offend non-smokers (unless they also happen to hate caramel).
