Peterson?s Sunset Breeze blend is a full aromatic pipe tobacco mixture with a rich, sweet aroma and a true tobacco taste.
The tin aroma is strong and smells of a fruit amaretto. This aroma could further be described as being similar to the odor of sweet almonds and ripe plums. Sunset Breeze has perhaps one of the most agreeable aromas of any aromatic tobacco. Although the blend?s aroma is sweet and strong, it is by no means candy-like or obtrusive. The tobaccos that comprise this blend are: Burley, Black Cavendish, and Maryland tobaccos. The color of Sunset Breeze is varied with 50% being a bright golden to a subdued orange, and 50% being a brown/black (no doubt this is the Cavendish).
The cut of Sunset Breeze is a non-consistently shredded ribbon with shapes similar to that of broken corn flakes. The dark colored Cavendish tobacco is in the form of a well-broken flake. No rubbing out is needed. Packing is achieved relatively easily. The initial moisture is quite high, but it can be remedied by drying since no noticeable humectants are present. Although Sunset Breeze is moist, it is in no manner gummy, as many full aromatic blends tend to be.
Sunset Breeze lights easily as the shredded ribbon pieces tend to take to fire readily. The burn is unlike the conventional aromatic and more like that of an English or Oriental blend. The aroma of the room note expelled by the smoking of Sunset Breeze is an accomplishment in itself. This aroma is incredibly pleasant and again resembles that of a dried fruit and amaretto. It is advisable that a pipe be dedicated to the smoking of Sunset Breeze since the aroma of this burning aromatic blend does linger within the pipe.
Surprisingly the taste of Sunset Breeze is not dominated by the topping but rather has a true tobacco flavor. This flavor is consistently sweet but not overwhelmingly so. The bite of Sunset Breeze can be minimized to a great deal by the drying of the blend. The smoke produced is medium/thick.
Peterson?s Sunset Breeze blend is a full aromatic that has a decent burn, an engaging taste, and an aroma that will not fail to please. Sunset Breeze is an ideal example of what an aromatic pipe tobacco blend can and should be.

Having been very satisfied with another Peterson offering, Luxury Blend, I was anxious to give this one a try. Excellent! The advertised aroma of Amaretto is somewhat elusive in the tin, with more of a "fruity" presentation, however very pleasant. If you are a serious fan of well blended aromatics, Sunset Breeze will not disappoint you! Even my wife who is a sometimes patient but willing critic admitted she liked the aroma of this one "the best", which for her is just about a rave.
There is no particular tobacco which jumps out as being dominant in the smoke, and after an initial blast of flavor which is as close to the can aroma as it gets, the taste settles down to a medium flavored undertone of citrus, with a subtle Amaretto riding on it. The bowl seems to sweeten slightly near the bottom. The only minor detraction I found, was the mixture seems a bit wet out of the tin, so if you are prone to packing your pipe too tightly, you may find yourself lighting up more than usual. There are "work-a-day" smokes and there are sitting out on the porch relaxing smokes, and for me this one seems to fit nicely in the latter category.
