Peterson De Luxe Mixture

The Tin aroma is very pleasant feels nutmeg, vanilla and honey, burns pretty well not very hot which helps you to maintain your healthy tongue feel the taste of tobacco and a good load of nicotine makes your extremely pleasurable smoke, personally I like the aromatic feel when smoking tobacco in the taste, and that I do it only in few tobaccos such as Captain Black - Dark and in the VBC of McClelland. the aroma in the room is quite nice and emphasizes more the aroma of walnut. Finally I am very fond to the mark for being the one that introduced me to this noble art.

Not bad. I was a bit disappointed for the vanilla flavour is unnoticeable. Walnut is much more present there. There was a little tongue bite (which I take the blame for it). Great smoke and even burning from beginning to the end of the bowl.

A nice aromatic, suitable for the smoker willing to have a try with aromatics, but not on the level of other aromatics from the brand. The blend of the tobaccos is fine in itself but the aromas are a little weak. The 'nutty mixture' from the brand is more remarquable.

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.

Was looking forward to this, but it disappointed in every way. Has a very odd chemical taste to it. The wife doesn't like the room not either. I will typically finish a tin I don't care for because I don't have a lot of money to throw away; this though I think I am going to toss.

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

Pretty tasteless. The walnut really struggles despite being given centre stage. If the honey and vanilla had been allowed to do their job or the walnut propped up then this could have been smokable.

The etymologist in me is also slightly puzzled that Peterson have "De Luxe" and "Luxury" mixtures, but I'd overlook that branding tautology if the tobacco had some flavour.

Try luxury blend instead.

Peterson's got a lot of great tobacco, a few nasty ones, and then there's this. I can't decide if I really like it or not. It's very middle of the road. However, I am optimistic and will recommend this to anyone looking for a spicy, sweet, winter blend. This one is like a spice cake, or gingerbread. Some love it, but for most of us, it's something we like, but don't go crazy for, even if we only get it once a year. For starters, the tin note is very prominently cased smelling. It has a familiar sweet scent belonging to our humble, sweet chum, Black Cavendish, and a very prominent anise like smell. Although I'm not the biggest fan of anise, I'm sure someone out there is. Regardless, the smoking quality could be better. It's rather wet and sticky, so let this one dry as it is heavily cased. That being said, it isn't a casing that's nasty, like Captain Black's Cherry. This one is done right. Cased aromatics, no matter how finely crafted, are going to taste/smell like cased aromatics any way you slice them, but I digress; De Luxe is sweet, full, creamy, and toasty, but you'll soon realize that the amaretto scent/taste is not easily suppressed. When burned, it tastes like anise, and it's very noticeable. No subtlety with that baking spice flavor. Pumpkin spice, Nutmeg, Ginger and Anise are all flavors that can be found in this blend. Despite its claim to feature Vanilla as its main staple, that flavor kind of takes the back seat during this ride. It's there, but its not singing along with the radio up in front. It's back there playing GameBoy, only periodically raising its head to ask, "Are we there yet?" Although this may sound negative, I will say it again, I can really see how someone could love this, it's just not my cup of tea. Word of caution though, it smokes hot, as is characteristic of cased aromatics. However, smoke this stuff slow, and it tastes just like those spicy cookies your grandmother makes every year. You look forward to them, realize after going a year without them, there's always something charmingly off about them. But that's why you like them. They're not your favorite, but you can't imagine Christmas without them. This blend is good when there's snow on the ground, and the smell and delightful flavor will distract you from Jack Frost nipping at your toes. I recommend pairing this with a mulled wine, hot cider or even some egg nog.

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
