This is just your typical Cavendish with a little bit of vanilla in it. Almost so little casing that it hardly qualifies as a "cased tobacco," certainly not your typical "goopy aromatic." I didn't detect ANY of the orange or honey that the tin label claims is in there. It's a mild, light smoke, with a little bit of a risk of burning too hot (since it's rather a wet shag) so, what with all that Virginia in there, you might get a bit of tongue bite. Nothing like a major English Virginia-plus-Oriental bite, but some anyway. It's pleasurable to pack, and not TOO hard to light. Very much middle-of-the-road in nearly all respects. Not offensive, not spectacular. Could be an all-day-smoke if you like aromatics.

I have also tried Peterson's Irish Oak, and honestly didn't care much for it. I was a little wary when I first bought this tin, but I have to say I truly enjoyed it. The flavors are not overpowering to me, and I really enjoyed the nice mild to medium flavor of the tobacco. I would recommend anyone who likes aromatics to give this one a try.

The only Peterson I have tried. I like this one. The burley and cavendish compliment the virginias very well. Very straightforward and although not spectacular, a good smoke for the outdoors.

I bought a tin of this and enjoyed it. It smells nice but the flavor was not really consistent in any respects. I found nothing luxurious about it.

I smoked most of the tin at a very good party - so the notes are a little hazy!
However, the room note stands out from the rest of the aromatic crowd - the Orange being mainly responsible for this.
Unfortunately the orange doesn't come through in the taste. However the dark berry flavours are quite nice, if it wasn't for the almost sickly vanilla topping.
Tends to burn hot, even for an aromatic. Not Peterson's best, but by no means a bad tobacco.

I bought this after reading Mikefromaz's review - and must say it is a very smmoth and easy to smoke tobacco. I am very new at pipe smoking and am just trying new varieties, and this is one of the very best I've tried so far.

I find it hard to believe that I am the first one to rate this top notch offering from Peterson. I was told by my tobacconist that this was a new product for them, and as he knows my preferences, Luxury Blend suited me nicely. What I found most pleasing about this blend which has little to no bite, is that you actually CAN separate the taste of citrus, and honey flavorings with just a bit of attention. I may be insensitive to vanilla these days, but I couldn't pick out the vanilla, which is ok as they advertise it as having just a "touch". The only detraction from this otherwise fine aromatic, is that like another Peterson product I tried, it seems a bit wet from the tin, which might be forgivable if the tin aroma makes you smile, which it probably will.
