Peter Stokkebye Nougat (No.24)

An unobtrusive light aromatic.

This tobacco is pretty mild. The Virginias add a few bright notes that meld well with the creaminess of the black Cavendish. The topping is similar to Lane 1Q, but less obvious. All together, Peter Stokkobye's Nougat is somewhat tasty, but I often question why I am smoking it when I have access to other aromatic blends with either more tobacco flavor or a stronger topping.

I really enjoyed this one compared to most other "nougat" flavored tobacco I have tried. Tastes and smells like vanilla and chocolate. Not much else to say about it, except that the nicotine was pleasantly present. Will impress those around you.

Peter Stokkebye's Nougat is an okay tobacco that I would recommend if it wasn't so underwhelming. It burns smooth and cleanly. The mild topping of vanilla and nougat is delightful, like freshly baked cookies or my grandmother's homemade caramel candy. This translates to a very nice room note.

However, little to no tobacco flavors gets through the casing. The burleys and black Cavendish remain mostly hidden, but do offer a smooth and mild smoke. While I like aromatics, this one is a bit too mild for my taste and I tend to reach for other blends when I desire a light aromatic smoke. As such, my jar of Nougat sits in my cellar unsmoked—waiting for tobacco Armageddon to fall upon us and better tobaccos are no longer manufactured. If you like smoking hot sweet air, Captain Black has more flavor with similar ingredients.

I would only recommend Peter Stokkebye's Nougat to those who enjoy very mild aromatic blends.

This is a good, mild aromatic. It produces good smoke volume but lacks "big" flavor, the toppings are definitely there and seem to mask the tobacco flavor. I can see where the aroma would be a crowd pleaser so if you need something to smoke in mixed company this might do. As for being a top seller.. I am sure that part of the reason for that would be because many tobacconist recommend it to new pipe smokers, just like they do Lane's 1Q. As a side note, I find that some aromatic casings trnd to give me a bit of a soar throat... this one did, it is a chemical sensitivity thing. I do recommend it for aromatic smokers

PS Nougat is a very different aromatic indeed, I have read some of the reviews and it is most interesting to me on how some of the gentlemen break this pipe tobacco blend down when trying to figure it out and put words to it. The mix first off is very light and fluffy and just right in the moisture realm for a aromatic. Some say here it has a cigarette smell at times but that's more so because it has flue cured Virginia's in it and the whole thing is not processed but rather actually blended. The burley is mixed the same so its one with the blend so that would explain that tone to it BUT far from tasting or smelling like a cigarette, In writing this for those who have not smoked it yet. I will tell you right now that is not the case. It is a mild smoke that is creamy and has hints of chocolate to it, I do not notice any vanilla or anything like that but more of a sugary base to it. The bite level is low but can happen if you puff to fast and the nicotine level is moderate depending if you inhale or not. One of the big reasons I enjoy this blend so much is because you can taste the tobacco in it and it is not shades by heavy toppings so that's a plus. Nougat is great in the morning with coffee its just one of those blends and could be a all day if you wanted it to be, the tobacco is high quality and that shines in the smoke which I love so much. It really is nothing like 1-Q because it is not as sweet and is not a heavy golden Cavendish mixture but I can see why people compare because of the sweet chocolate notes so on that level yes taste comparison sure why not, if you smoked the two side by side you would see what I mean in a snap and Nougat is far smoother then 1-Q, I did not say better because I love 1-Q so much its one of my top dog favorites of all time but of you like 1-Q you will like this, I could not see why you wouldn't it would make no sense. *(Mixing 40% Carter Hall 50% PS Nougat & 10% Latakia)* is wonderful as well, I thought I would share that with you, blend it and see for yourself and allow at least 2 days to marry after that its good to go. If you never smoked this blend or your new to pipe smoking this is a good one for sure the only thing I would stress is that it is alittle on the tobacco side and less on the traditional sweet goopy aromatic side although yes it is highly aromatic but pronounced and smokes excellent all the way down, I recommend this pipe tobacco blend to please and not let down.

This is a quality tobacco -- tasty leaves with the right amount of cream / caramel flavor. Smells delicious in the pouch, smokes well, and has a good room note. When I bought it, it didn't need additional drying.

I'll update this review after it's aged a bit more and I've smoked it from one of my meers.

Has a wonderful full flavor though totally different than G&H "Kentucky Nougat". I get more of just a general aromatic scent/note/flavor from it. Not a bad thing, just trying to describe it. Room note is good and burns/smokes alright.. though a tad goopy. One I may go back to when I want a bit more tobacco flavor than most Lane offerings. Has a couple sticks and twigs but I just pull them out and attribute it to the "bulk" pricing. When packing/smoking you can just tell this is a classic, all around tobacco that doesn't really shine but doesn't shy.

I have been smoking nougat for 26 years. It was my first premium aromatic pipe tobacco I encountered. I smoke different kinds of aromatics, but nougat is the main preferred choice.

This is an adequate tobacco for what it is. I enjoy aromatics from time to time for room note and flavor. Lit well with few relights. This blend is similar to 1Q; however, a little more on the harsh side. This tobacco does best for me when sipped slowly. The burley and Cavendish are more apparent than the Virginia. It does have the chocolate and vanilla flavors and does have its share of sweetness at least for the first half of the bowl. It does have a tendency to burn hot and bite through the remainder of the bowl and I find it leaves a slight cigarette after taste when the bowl is finished. My sample has been jarred for about seven months now, and I revisit it every month or so. The time does seem to smooth it out a little. Not my favorite aromatic and will probably not buy again, but will give the rest of it a chance to redeem itself as time goes on. Not a bad tobacco, but okay for what it is.
