I find the quality of this aromatic varies from tin to tin. Sometimes it's strong in smell and flavour, sometimes in strong in smell and weak in flavour, sometimes it's weak in smell and strong in flavour and sometimes it's weak in smell and flavour.
I am quickly learning that aromatics are not necessarily so, for the pleasure of tasting what it says on the tin but merely for the smell it leaves in your surroundings. If the missus hates the smell of your non aromatic tobacco, she'll definately like the smell of your aromatics.
If your tastebuds have died due to age or the constant use of strong tobacco's, this isn't going to satisfy your palate. You can taste a little nutiness and, depending on the tin, you'll definately start to salivate a little from the honey, even though you won't taste the sweet. Even though you may not be able to smell or taste the vanilla, those around you will. You'll notice it more if you smoke indoors and come back into the room at a later time. It'll smell a lot better and a little more subtle than those plug-ins the missus likes to put in every room.
In my opinion, this is a nice tobacco to have when switching for a change between tobacco's... It's a nice smoke but not one that I would personally smoke everyday, yet one I will come back to.

This blend was very cool smoking and it had no bite at all. It had a very sweet nutty smell as I smoked it and left a nice taste in my mouth. It did not burn to hot and was a very nice smoke after a night of drinking. I will keep a tin or two of this around

Tastes very 'nutty', the amaretto flavour is pretty pronounced. I didn't mind this one, but there's better out there, got a bit boring towards the end of the tin. Don't buy more

I see this tobacco as quite mild and very pleasant, although you have to maintain it has a moderate humidity, once it dries it is plain as paper, even though it still smells nice.

NOTE: This type of blend takes time/bowls to appreciate which I think accounts for the disparity of the reviews on this page. I started out wanting to give a rating of 1 because the blend seemed to be so mild it was unsatisfying.
However, good number of bowls in I really started enjoying the subtle flavor of the tobaccos. The first several bowls tasted like I was smoking air. I think this is due to it being a very light aromatic. It's not a "candy vanilla" smoke. Just a hint of vanilla. Eventually I started to really enjoy the taste of the Virginias. Mild tobacco and vanilla flavor. Basically, a mild aromatic and a great blend for the neophyte.

For me, this is what an aromatic should be. Aromatherapuetic...if that is a word. Mild and pleasing to the smoker and those in the vacinity. True, there's no tobacco flavor here, but it's certainly not an unpleasant experience. Highly recommended as a first tobacco for a new pipe smoker or the seasoned piper that can't tolerate the normal aromatic fare. Listen, if I wanted to smoke apples or cherries, I'd dry some and stick 'em in my pipe. A respectable aromatic from Peterson.

The average score for Deluxe Mixture is about right. It’s a mild aromatic with hints of walnut and honey. The VA is present and surprisingly strong but not sweet. Room note is actually more pleasant than the taste.
This is a solid if uninspired aromatic. Autumn Evening is better. Both Black and Gold 7 Seas are better. Connoisseur’s Choice is better. So this is in the middle of the pack.
I love good aromatics. Some, like say Blood Cult Moon, are too sweet. Others like 1Q, have good flavoring but uncomplicated tobacco. It’s all a matter of balance and no one gets it just right. Like life.
Burns nicely. A slow cadence is rewarded.

I’m not a huge fan of most aromatics, but my review isn’t so much about what I like to smoke, it’s about the quality of the tobacco. With that being said, I did give Deluxe Mixture a 3 because I think it would appeal to the newer smoker who’s looking for a mild smoke with a decent amount of flavoring and a mild nic-hit. The flavoring is evident throughout the entire bowl and leaves little moisture in the bowl and the mild level of nicotine makes it a good all day smoke for the newbie. The room note is very pleasant so you’re probably going to get some high marks for a nice aroma from the nonsmokers in your life instead of the turned- up nose I get from my girlfriend when smoking my favorites.

firsy of it is peterson we are talking about now and no dust over their shoulder as far as i am concerned. its a recommended tobacco indeed but for light aromatic as it isnt as heavily cased moist blends out there ,,its a spring to summer blend very light burns very well to white ash and it have a vanilla/fruity touch to it,virginia and burly make it into the play ground interchangebly,and its a definite crowd pleaser!
