Holy Smokes! I didn't know reviewing tobacco could be so scientific. I'm afraid I just grab a pipe, pop the tin, stuff a wad of weed in the chamber, light 'er up and smoke away. The humidity and temp of the leaf depends on what time of year it is down here in Texas (hot and humid or less hot and humid). My taste buds pretty much tell me what I need to know after just a bowlful. I'm just lucky, I guess.
So, with the above caveat in mind; this Peterson's offering is, to me, an aromatic with some decent tobacco flavor tossed in with the sweetners. As you might expect, the leaf is of good quality and burned easily and mostly dry. There was some wet dottle near the bottom, and since I don't slobber when I smoke, I suspect it was the tobacco.
Light aromatic with a whack or two of tobacco taste along with the honey. Not bad.

When I first open the tin, I was greeted with a pleasant nutty smell which seem to cling to everything it touched. Even my car had a lingering smell of this tobacco. I would say that this blend became a regular smoke for me but after two tins I started to notice the tongue bite and that the tobacco smokes rather hot. Otherwise, it is quite a decent blend

I loved the nose on this blend. I'm relatively new to pipes, so I won't try and pretend that I know all of the characteristics of the component tobaccos, but I really enjoyed this weed. When opened, I smelled cherries and chocolate. This came through on the palate for me, with a hint of a cinnamon red-hot candy. It left next to nothing for a room note, but really enjoyed the smoke. It burned evenly all the way down.
