Peterson De Luxe Mixture

Had I noticed this blend was walnut flavored I would not have tried it. However I was very pleasantly surprised at the taste. The honey and walnut casing is subtle and it actually compliments the taste of the leaf. There is no chemical or artificial flavor at all. There are hints of walnut in the first third of the bowl then the vanilla takes over in a very delicate way. The last third of the bowl is pure baccy taste and it has a nice, satisfying flavor to (sadly) end the experience. It takes a lot of self restraint to resist firing up another pipefull immediately afterwards.

Room note is pleasant and there are no sickeningly sweet incense characteristics. Obviously, quality leaf was used and I can't think of anything negative to say about the blend. Great stuff!

As an aromatic lover, and according to my palette: this tobacco sports a brilliant tin note, made my mouth water upon tasting the wonderfully sweet but not overwhelming flavor, produced a pleasant room note, and made me want to refill my bowl. A sweet sensation lingered in my palette when finished, underscored by lightly roasted tobacco. I walked away with no tongue bite.

The tobacco lit well and burned to the bottom of the bowl just fine, leaving a nice, grayish-white ash. At the time of this writing, De Luxe Mixture has proven itself to be my favorite aromatic. I tried Peterson's ever-popular Sunset Breeze the same day, and I still prefer the De Luxe Mixture. Smoked down to the last Virginia flake in my Peterson's Killarney Dublin.

This tobacco goes well with Tom Petty's Highway Companion album.

What a wonderful blend ! Wonderful smell, wonderful smoking. I like the taste of walnut. An indispensable tobacco in my reserve.

De Luxe Mixture bears its name wonderfully and has become an immediate favorite! Scandinavian Tobacco Group has worked wonders on brands that previously were awful to smoke (Borkum Riff, Captain Black and various American Classic OTCs), turning them into half decent offerings. For the Peterson brand they really are doing a great job. Most of the Peterson manufactured by Murray's lacked consistency and often the casings and toppings were applied too liberally. This is not the case with the STG version. DLM is dominated by the Black Cavendish and offers a wonderful vanilla and honey casing. The tobacco is at a perfect moisture level to be immediately packed. The cut is standard Ribbon Cut and burns at a much better rate than Connoisseur's Choice, for example. The casing is not too strong in the taste department and does allow for the tobacco itself to be perceptible. Nicotine level is between mild and medium. Really, this is a wonderful aromatic that is of the highest quality and because the casing is not too strong, I can see it as an All- Day Smoke for the aromatic fans. Highly recommended and I will buy regularly.

Good quality tobacco. Easy to pack, lit, smooth smoke, no chance of tongue bite. Medium flavored , with hints of caramel, coffee, vanilla and cream. Regarding room note, got complains from some none smokers. Overall nice stuff for aromatic lovers. Recommended.

Popped a tin of this open a few weeks ago. It lit well and burned fairly cool and evenly to the bottom. I did notice though that the walnut and honey flavor, which seemed to be to the forefront with the vanilla being in the background, gave me the feeling that this blend felt more of a winter/Christmas time blend. The rich walnut aroma and flavor had me wishing I was in front of a fireplace watching Bing Crosby's "White Christmas". All in all another great smoke from Peterson, but one I might smoke more in the winter time.

An incredible aromatic blend. You can taste the walnut at the beginning of the draw; and it ends with the ``essence`` of vanilla rather than the taste of vanilla; which is actually quite nice.

A great quick packing tobacco that you should keep on hand as a nice afternoon or early evening bowl.

A delightful tobacco with all the flavour I was hoping for. After reading the reviews here it does not fail to please, very impressed.

very good tobacco , i very enjoy to smoke this tobacco , not strong can smoke big full bowl , and the taste is fantastic.
