Peterson Luxury Blend

Indeed a luxury blend.when you open the tin the honey vanilla aroma is great and dominant.the cavendish are very present mixed with bright virginias and burley.the moisture is pretty high.don't dio the mistake to smoke it without drying,it's gonna make your pipe really hot!!after drying out fot al least one hour packs easy and lights from the first light.the flavours are very sweet and full due to honey and vanilla topping.you also get nuts and a little citruses but in the backround.if it's dried burns quickly and leaves only ash.the moist level while burningis a bit more and leaves proper moist at the end of the bowl.this full aromatic blend has a perfect room note and it is very pleasant to others.the nicotine level is low to medium so it is ideal to start your day.it is a nice blend to introduce your self into full aromatics.

This one tested my patience. Slow and easy and you get a decent smoke out of it. Pick up the pace any at all and it'll let you know real quick that you shouldn't be doing that. It can become a flame thrower. Smoked properly I get notes of citrus that seem to be natural notes from the Virginias rather than any added flavoring. The added flavorings of vanilla and honey come through clearly. It's very easy to push this one too far and for that I can only somewhat recommend this one. It's just too touchy.

Mild in body. Mild to medium in flavor. Needed a little drying time. If you have the patience of Job you may like this one.

To me it tastes like hot air, with mayyyyyybe a wisp of something sweet which some might call vanilla. It packs and lights ok, medium tongue bite but nothing unmanageable. Truly, the word that describes this tobacco is mediocre. I don't feel compelled to buy this again.

LUXURY BLEND: Uhm… I don’t find anything luxury. More than a luxury blend this is rather a classic flavored mixture in Black Cavendish style. Ideal for both, American and Danish taste (aromatic taste I mean). And even for the modern aromatic English taste, but not the old one. In short: if you love flavored mixtures and particularly Black Cavendish, certainly this is for you. But if you prefer the old English aromatic style, then not at all (better Samuel Gawith and Gawith, Hoggarth). Mild in strength it is not bad but rather banal and common. Nothing special. And it is quite expensive. In my opinion and in my personal rating system (from 1 to 10) my score is 7 and two stars.

Filled a bowl of this this evening for a change. I have been enjoying primarily English Latakia and vapers as of late so I thought a quality aromatic might be nice as a change of pace. I opened this tin about six months ago and really didn't give it much of a chance. It has been in a jar for 6 months and the moisture level is perfect. The tin note is very pleasant and it filled the pipe well and packed nicely. On first light I was surprised at the lack of any substance to the smoke. I drew more than the usual amount I would for the charring light since there didn't seem to be much happening with this blend? I tamped let it settle and fired her up again. Better. Just not much body. Finally settled into a rythm. This must be smoked s-l-o-w-l-y or it will just fight you. It has a nice vanilla flavor and you can pluck out the honey if you sip the smoke slowly. So yes you can enjoy this blend if you take your time and don't expect too much. I will try another bowl in a few weeks or months but I don't see myself replacing the tin when it is gone.

Tin note when new was definitely sweet, though subdued in both the vanilla and honey departments. After some storage time, the vanilla receded to almost undetectable levels, leaving only a slight honey.

I suppose when a blend remains in the line-up, but never gets picked, tells as much of the story as necessary. There wasn't anything that really grabbed me with this blend; in my opinion, if you're going to make an aromatic, generic sweetness isn't enough, it has to taste of something identifiable other than the tobacco.

I should say that in fairness, my sweet tooth has been tamed somewhat along the way, and I pick aromatics far less often than I did when I picked-up this tin. All else being equal, I still found myself making an excuse to favour another aromatic over Luxury Blend.

I think it was always found wanting, too little in terms of nicotine, sweetness and taste, and too much bite. This always had to be sipped excruciatingly slowly to keep my tongue from singeing. Very middle of the road for me.

I usually dont smoke aromatics so i dont have much to go on. when you open the tin, the smell is really great and you might think that this aromatic might taste some of the flavours that the tin says, but nooo this blend is very bland and i couldent taste much of anything just a sweet,tangy tobacco that burns hot. it smells way better both in the tin and when smoked than what it tastes like.

its borderline between ok and bad, i will not buy another tin of this.

A nice entry in the Peterson line of aros. Smells nice from the tin and is a bit on the moist side. The components come together and it smokes well. Like a lot of the others in this line, this really does not jump out and say "smoke me." Probably will not come back to this one, but happy to give any blend a shot.

As I review all aromatics - when I smoke an aromatic, I want to know I am smoking an aromatic. This just not have enough topping to make it worthy. Not much of a flavor to this one. Would not buy again.
