This was the first pipe tobacco I tried and I love it . The taste is really nice, and has a creamy feel to the smoke I think it might be the vanilla. I really did not pickup on the orange flavor in taste or smell but I did taste the honey and vanilla. This tobacco was easy to light and it had a nice cool smoke from start to finish. On the down side this tobacco did burn a bit hot and there was some gurgle but it's nothing a bit of slow draws on the pipe and a pipe cleaner can't solve. All in all it is a good tobacco and I will have to buy more because I just ran out .

Uau.. if you are an aromatic fan this is your blend! I've tried so many different ones and there are a few that I think deserve a gold medal, but this one? Hell yeah!
You open the tin and it's like a christmas present: the tobacco presents to you beautiful and lose. The blacks, golds and browns mix together to create a remarkable blend! So smooth, great tobacco taste (the sweetness from the Virginias and a beautiful hint of creaminess from the Cavendish's) and a fruity/vanilla taste just tops the hole cake.
¾ of the bowl smoked and you start to feel the nicotine. There's a much stronger taste, you loose the sweetness from the Virginias and the creaminess tasted in the beginning is no longer there. Curiously the room note stays almost the same: nice, smooth and creamy (almost woody) smell.
One of the best for me!

I have been dedicating the past few weeks of smoking to Peterson tobaccos because of the changes in blender, blends and now also packaging of most their offerings. This blend stands out as what I think is their best aromatic - it definitely trumps the Special Reserves of 2004 and 2008.
When forming an opinion on a pipe tobacco, and before offering a review which could influence others, I pay attention to the what-where-when-how. I keep my tobacco at 70% humidity and 21 degrees C. I smoke at least 1 tin or 50gr over time, I use different pipes which I clean before returning to this blend, I smoke in a peaceful environment away from drafts where I can relax and enjoy 3 or 4 pipes full at a time and fill the room with that smoke. I refrain from using silica filters and choose my accompanying drink, if any, carefully. The same tobacco will be experienced differently if you have it with tea or whisky or coffee. I prefer the latter, black with 1 sugar. I will sometimes have sparkling mineral water without lemon but never fizzy cooldrinks. I light my pipe using a soft butane flame, not a match. My views are based on smoking 50gr of this tobacco over about 2 weeks.
This blend delivers on the description given on the tin with noticeable upfront top notes of honey and vanilla. You have to look for the orange but I must admit it is there. The second half of the bowl delivers base notes of barley and light oak on top of the aromatic notes. The tobacco has a light floral core throughout which is pleasing in the case of this blend. The smoke is cool and dry and I can have 3 pipes full using the same filter before I detect the first slight slurp. Hardly any tongue bite and very little bitterness. A big plus is that it does not leave the feeling of a wax coating on your palate. I highly recommend this blend as a daytime smoke and as a regular choice for new pipe smokers. I find it to be especially rewarding in a pipe with a large bowl that will take 3 to 5gr of tobacco. Cudos to Peterson on another great tobacco. Hein Garbers, South Africa

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.
