Peterson Gold Blend

Not bad! It's an aromatic, but it doesn't weigh as heavy as other aro's from the House of Peterson. When I was 10 years old, I found Grandpa's old pipe in a drawer. It smelled exactly like this blend: a bit like honey, cookies, cinammon, sweet overall without tasting cheap. Smoke it slowly, it's worth it. 3.5 of 5

My only aromatic experiences previous to trying GB had consisted of OTC and cheap no name cavendish blends with sickly chemical taste. Moving on to english blends and American English blends I thought I was becoming one of those can't stand aromatic type of smokers, but this blend changed it for me.

I tried it based on my enjoyment of University and Irish Flake. I figured if the base tobaccos were good, I may like an aromatic. Indeed this seemed to be the case.

I enjoyed this as there was none of that chemical taste I so despise. It is sweet, but not so much that I can't taste the tobacco. I think I still prefer my aros a little less sweet, but I do recommend this blend. As I have since had some other aros I enjoy more, I can't really give it a four star rating.

Not that I've been hunting for anymore of this light, airy and aromatic blend, but with Murray's shut down, I'm simply wondering if Gold Blend was picked up when the Peterson's blends made the shift.

Gold Blend is classy in leaf and presentation, but the flavor is just not there for me. I like an occasional puff on the sweet side, but I also like to taste the tobacco and feel like I'm smoking without having to check the bowl to make sure the weed is lit.

Lovers of light aromatics with quality leaf will enjoy this one and that is why I give it three stars.

I'd recommend this for someone who likes aromatics, but doesn't want something excessively sweet or flavoured.

I personally like a bit more flavour.

Overall it's a good blend, and you can't really go too wrong with it.

At my local tobacco shop, I'm accustomed to purchasing Dunhill blends. Out of curiosity I purchased Peterson Gold blend, and I was extremely impressed by this wonderful mixture. The sweet, aromatic blend tastes pleasantly on the palate, tasting some hints of vanilla. Overall a great blend to start off with if one is not used to the Peterson brand.

If anyone remembers Wessex Premier Rich Aroma this is almost the same. Light , sweet with the hickory nut extract aroma. Hickory nut i like, tonquin i dont ( go figure) but if you like hickory nuts then you will find this pleasing. Its light and mild and the room note is very nice. You do taste virginia and a little burley here and there but hickory nut runs the show here.

This being my first tobacco and who introduced me to this noble art and bad habit smoking pipe I have much appreciation and moving this will be the most objective possible aroma on Tin as most of the aromatics is lovely for my it is creamy and Caramelized, an aromatic that does not heat lot and easy burning is what helped me to maintain my healthy language and have the frustration of relight the pipe to all times at Bay for a nobel smoker as I was is much to be desired for a mixture and highly recommended for new smokers, its strength is mild to medium which gives a quiet smoke its flavor is pleasant in the mouth and the note in room is very good is that he would buy it again.

a light aromatic. smells very nice in the tin and looks good. i would recommend drying it for a few hours out of the tin to get more of the honey and cinnamon out of it which is used very sparingly. do not recognize any hickory nut. if you smoke it straight out of the tin moist, it tends to burn too hot and you get very little flavor except vanilla. this stuff tends to get gooey and wet even if you air it to bone dry. this is the type of aromatic that you don't really taste the flavor you can just smell it if you blow through your nose. i like gold blend, it will be a nice change of pace during the holiday season to have a bowl every now and then. i do wish it had a little more honey and cinnamon flavors.

Probably a very good everyday smoke. I've gotten more compliments over the aroma than anything else I've lit up.

After almost two tins I've given up trying to pick out the flavors.

It's damp,dry it. Burns warmer than most of my choices and has bit me more than I like to admit. Seems to lose the sweet flavor twards the end of the bowl

I didn't lose interest in the smoke, I just have aro's I enjoy more.

It continues...
