Peterson Sweet Killarney

Wholeheartedly agree with review below and others- does not deliver the promise of fragrance in the tin! I would differ on one small point however- I do find the Peterson tobaccos are generally higher than average in vitamin N, this blend not being an exception. Very little Black Cav note- you can maybe see some in blend but I can't really taste it. This one is "just alright" nothing special despite the cool name.

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 ! ! ! ! !

If you have a big honking sweet tooth, look no further. Sweet Killarney is sweet indeed. A fragrant mix of Burley and Virginia with just a pinch of our good, sugary, friend Black Cavendish, this blend is candy to say the least. When opening the tin, I found the smell to be very pleasant. Sweet, sweet caramel and brown sugar comes to mind, along with a dark chocolate-like smell. It packs very well, but it is wet right out of the tin, so dry it first. While puffing away I remember riding bikes to the corner candy store when I was a kid. This blend smells great out of the tin and even better when burning. The taste is simply sweet and creamy. Nothing too complicated, just a nice, pleasant dessert smoke. Good for after dinner or on those lazy Saturday afternoons when you want to just be with yourself and collect your thoughts. This won't distract you from them with complexity. A word of caution, this blend smokes hot, so draw slowly and patiently. Great for building cake and burns to a uniform white ash. If you want a little old fashioned tasting candy but don't feel like racking up a bill at the dentist, give this a puff. Your sweet tooth will be satisfied fully, and won't need a filling later.

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.

This is not my first dance with smoking a pipe, but it is my first at smoking and english blend. Sweet Killarney in my opinion is a great smoke! My wife was with me when I opened the tin and she loved the smell of the tobacco and loved it even more when I was smoking it. Of course this all came about when I picked up a pipe at a flea markent and found out it was one of Petersons pipes stamped reject, which has not been stamped that way in over twenty years they told me via and email after enquiring. It is to say it burns cool and sweet with very little bite and the aroma fills the room to satisfaction of the booth of us. I very much recommend this tobacco and plan to enjoy it from now on!

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.
