This tobacco is great stuff. I acquired a tin that is supposedly 35 years old. It arrived in good condition, and the tin smelled of raisins. The humidity level was perfect. I loaded a bowl and was amazed at what a great tobacco this is. This can be thought of as a more polished version of Dunhill's Royal Yacht. The topping on this tobacco was nearly unnoticable. Peddler's Pipe had a flavor that was constantly evolving and always complex. It was a real treat to see where it would go next. Bowl after bowl has been tongue bite free. This is a tin that reminds me of why aged tobacco is so sought after.

First, thanks to fellow reviewer Jakob of Denmark for gifting me a tin of The Peddler's Pipe. He knew I enjoyed Royal Yacht and thought I might like this stuff - and I did indeed!
The front of the tin says, "Specially manufactured in London, England by C.E. McConnell Limited for The Peddler's Pipe." That descriptive leads me to believe this is a proprietary house blend made exclusively for a pipe shop called The Peddler's Pipe somewhere in the UK.
Enough guessing. Here are the facts as determined by my palate. The Peddler's Pipe could easily be re-named Royal Yacht Light. The leaf had the same shag cut as the old Dunhill's RY produced in the 1970's. It also had a very similar smell in the tin. The casing was likewise similar, yet a bit more mildly applied. Someone eased back on the peddle when applying the nicotine content, too.
If you happen to enjoy dark, stoved and slightly sweetened Virginia with a dash of casing, then this would be a good one to try if you can find a tin on eBay.
Scrumptious stuff. Thanks again, Jakob!
