Peter Stokkebye Highland Whiskey (No.38)

Very pleasant aromatic, balancing added flavor and natural tobacco effortlessly.

I'm getting a lot of nutty, earthy, woody tastes from the burley, with whisky, vanilla and a bit of sweet coffee and cocoa on top of it.

After drying it for an afternoon, it lit easily; it required a few relights, but burned nicely overall. A bit of moisture was left in the bottom of the bowl.

The smoke is rich in texture, and the retrohale enhances the flavors present in the taste. It burns nice and cool.

If you like sweet, burley-forward aromatics, I highly recommend this.

I bought this back in 2011 from a pipe and cigar store that had all these blends in jars with their own names. I searched this website and found this description to be almost exact. I am smoking it in my Peterson 307, Irish to Irish so to speak. It smells great even after 7 years but I wish it had more whiskey flavor. There just isn’t enough for me and it leaves me wanting more. It does burn a little hot. Nice but I will try something else when I run out of this.

It has a nice pouch note. My sample came at a good level of hydration for smoking. It appears to be mostly burley and black cavendish with a few irregular bits of yellow Virginia.

Smoked, this is slightly sweet with a subtle whiskey flavor. There is not much tobacco flavor, but it is pleasant and easy to smoke. You get a nutty burley note every now and then. I think the Virginia contributes to the sweet, but it is hard for me to single out.

This is a nice aromatic blend. It is a little bland for my palate, but I can imagine it would be the perfect smoke for many. This is really a 2.5 because I am not going to buy more. I have no regrets...

This is the best Whiskey blend I have tried. Just a light topping which adds sweetness along with the Virginias. Not a complex smoke but a well balanced one. Taste does fade when you hit a certain point, but still an enjoyable smoke.Pretty good stuff.

Fine pouch note, mild aromatic. Burned nice and slow, bit me a bit- but that is to be expected of myself as a rookie. Whiskey flavoring was very, very subtle and may have been more potent when the tobacco was first opened. Overall, a nice mellow blend. Probably not on my reorder, but not out of the question either.

Nice genuine tobacco tastes and smells, accompanied by a slight sweet whiskey casing. There's also some sweetness and hay from the Virginias and a little bit of nuttiness presumably from some Burley. Smoked easily with a good amount of smoke, no relights needed all the way to the bottom. Left a clean white ash. No dottle or wetness.

This is a pleasant, everyday tobacco, available at a bargain price.

My first few bowls of this I was unimpressed. But a friend gave me a few ounces to sample and as I worked through the bag it has begun to grow on me. A fairly straightforward whiskey Cavendish in my book, packs easy and burns well.

This was one of my two first "go to" blends, the other of course being 1-Q. Although I haven't had this one in some time, I can still remember the pleasant peaty taste, I actually ended up aging some of this for two years and it held it's flavor. I felt that the tobacco and flavoring married nicely over that time and it was an excellent smoke when I came back to it, even though it was very one dimensional, it was still quite enjoyable around the campfire with the guys, I would pass out some cobs and then pass around a baggie of HW and we would all have a brew. Good memories! I would recommend this to anyone as a first smoke or to those who prefer aromatics! Has a nice smell and a decent room note!

I tried this as a sample early last spring and found it tasty but didn't order it in bulk until later when I found that about all my favorite online sellers were out of English Luxury. Grabbed five pounds and have about three cellered. For me it is a very nice flavorful tobacco with a nice room note. No gurgle no tongue bite. In short I like it a lot and would recommend it.
