This is a very nice, somewhat average, aromatic tobacco blend where the calvados lends just the right note at just the right time. Well done, Peterson!
I feel this blend would be a top choice for any non-aromatic smoker to begin with in order to develop their own tobacco palate sufficiently to pick out the nuances of flavor an aromatic delivers. A good starter aromatic blend for the virginia smokers, et al in other words. Nothing that they should not be able to handle and, in time, come to appreciate with some smoking experience. I did find that if the tobacco is pushed in smoking cadence then it may heat up slightly but hopefully those non-aro smokers will learn from any too fast puffing.

I'm being honest here, I really, really want to like this stuff. It smells heavenly in the tin, the best-smelling tobacco I've whiffed. Tonight in my office I just had a hankerin' for an aromatic - which, by the way, I never, ever smoke - so I popped this tin that's been lying around for a year or so and...
...put it up for trade on a forum.
Sorry, I just can't handle aros. The taste is pure chemicals to me. For what it is, I am sure there are some big fans. It smells awesome, and there are some faint hints of that awesome odor in the taste, which keeps it from receiving only one star. But the chemical taste and bite are about as subtle as that time I wrecked my motorcyle and sent my body through a barbed wire fence, bouncing across a frozen pasture 9,000 feet up in the Colorado foothills (true story!). I was thankful I had a helmet on. Tonight I was not so lucky.
Lovers of aromatics will probably really like this, because it has some redeeming qualities. I think.
