A & C Petersen Caledonian Melange No.421 Superior Mixture
(3.12)
Very Danish, deliciously sweet and mild. A fine combination of our 4 best, base blends: Virginias, cavendish, fire cured and Orientals, stored individually before the final hand blending. The fine aromas add character and balance to this superior mixture.

I'm not generally a fan of aromatic tobaccos, but keep a few around for when I'm in the mood. Like a good Danish aromatic, the flavoring doesn't overpower the taste of the tobaccos, allowing the taste of the burley and orientals to shine as well. The nuttiness of the Burley complements the hazelnut very well, and there is just enough Turkish in the blend to add an additional spicy touch, and the hazelnut aroma smells heavenly.
I detected no PG in this blend at all -- it dries out just as quickly as any uncased english blend. Nonetheless, it arrives in the tin at the perfect moisture level, and from the first pipeful this stuff lights easily and smokes dry down to the very bottom of the bowl.
It's not an incredibly complex blend (though more so than most aromatics), but it really is a very nice early morning pipe, with a cup of cafe au lait.
