Peterson De Luxe Mixture

This became my favourite baccy as soon as I lit it. It's the only aromatic I've encountered which smells just as nice when smoking as it does in the tin - if not nicer. I was wafting the smoke towards my nose to breath the lovely aroma in the first time I smoked it. Real presence of vanilla, but there's enough tobacco to satisfy a cigar smoker like myself, too.

This tobacco doesn't deserve the rather low rating it has - put it this way: if you don't like aromatics, you won't like it; if you do, then come on in, the water's fine!

This is nice to smoke slowly on a cold night on the verandah with your fav' alcoholic drink. Honey and walnut is the major aroma/tastes...the vanilla is very mild. I would buy this again.

This is one of the best aromatics I've ever tried. I bought myself a tin from the Peterson shop in Dublin. I finished it pretty fast, smoking a bowl of it every night. Smells wonderful in the tin and stays faithful to its aroma throughout the bowl. Very well balanced and in a perfect moisture level, it can be smoked immediately after opening. Burns evenly and cool, this blend will most certainly be appreciated by aromatic lovers as well as by people who are not so into Cavendish blends.

For me, this blend brings fond memories from the years I lived in Ireland.

I am very picky about aromatic blends and I do like this one a lot. The flavor of the topping remind me much of Captain Black Royal, but the quality of the leaf and absence of excessive humectants elevate this to another level. To me the level is the top of the chart. Not my favorite aromatic, but four aromatic stars for this one.

I`ve tested 7-8 blends from different companies.Honestly this is the best one so far.I really LOVE the essence,aroma and taste of this tobacco.It has a fantastic room note and even my non-smoker neighbor loves it!thanks to Peterson. Very good choice for beginners or veterans.

I like this blend and I don't understand the amount of negative reviews this has gotten. If you don't like aromatics, then why review one and give it a horrible score? Makes no sense to me.

Letting this blend breathe out for a bit will make it 10 times better, from my experience. The smell and flavor comes out a lot more natural once it is aired out. Packing and lighting is easy. I just light, tamp, relight and forget about it.

Yes it's light, but you can still taste the tobacco in there, and it tastes, in my opinion, really good. The flavoring is also very nice - not too strong, not too light. Just the right amount of balance.

Recommended.

A cliché schlurpy aromatic, like there are 9000 in the market, oozing with fake, chemical vanilla. What, for heaven's sake, is the point??

If you like a decisively aromatic blend with a luxurious high taste, try BLUE NOTE.

The aromatic lover may want to consider this a break time enjoyer; a short session benefits this blend well. It’s a bit rough around the edges, so a slow roll in cadence should lessen the mouse trap’s snap on the tongue. The vanilla, walnut, and honey fuse harmoniously in aroma and in flavor - warm, bitter, and sweet. The result is a slightly earthy and delectable smoke. Little bowl moisture. Can bite.

I haven’t smoked an aromatic since I started smoking a pipe. This was in 2018. I tried the cherry blends, whiskey blends and some clan. I was struggling with tongue bite and moisture. So I watched Mutton chop piper and he suggested Virginia burleys and other types of tobacco which are good for beginners.

I continued this up until recently. I was in town and there was a gent smoking a pipe and he said that it was this blend, it smelt very nice and I thought I would give it a try.

I have only had one bowl but wow this was a nice experience. The tin note is not too overpowering. There are chocolate, fruit, amaretto and vanilla smells. The moisture level is good and it’s quite pleasant to see so many tobacco colours in a tin.

Te tobacco lit fine and the burn was consistent. There was no tongue bite from start to finish. The flavour was also consistent. You get the vanilla and chocolate tones more I would say. With an after taste of coffee. Like when you have just ground the beans. This develops when smacking your tongue to amaretto. It leaves a nice fragrance in your beard and moustache, if you have one. My wife is quite happy about this as I normally go for twists and I like the stoves twist so dark and pungent.

Overall I would say if I had known about this blend when i started off, I probably would have tried aromatics more. That being said maybe a bit more experience has allowed me to perfect my technique which has ultimately lead to me having a better smoking experience.
