This is ok.
Its caught somewhere between an all-out aromatic, and a navy blend, and as such its kinda neither.
In my mind, this is more of an aromatic. The smoke is fragrant, and although you certainly do get the tobacco taste, its very much the aroma and flavorings of the dark rum and nuts that comes through most. The tobacco is in the background.
However, the mere fact that as the bowl goes on and the flavoring steps aside for the tobacco to come on strong means that there is an argument to be made for this being a navy tobacco. The fact that it is ribbon and not flake may stop that, but still, it can be considered.
So, good, not great, but for me the fact that its not really either of the above in any serious way makes you scratch your head a bit and think throughout the bowl that its nowhere near as good as really shining examples of either.

Lovely tin note, but thats all ! Too weak, hardly any taste, no nicotine ! I normally smoke strong English blends, so perhaps my palate is a bit too desensitised for a RR aromatic. Might be ok for a newbie ! Will use the remains as a bulk in my tobacco mixing shenanigans.

Macadamia nuts and dark brown sugar (rum) - favourites of mine at any time. A blend with which I re-started my piping earlier this year, the taste of REAL tobacco is easy to separate from the casings/flavours - seems a bit of 'irish' temperament surfaced in the blenders [Kohlhase & Kopp??]. Subtle but firm are the individual contributions of Va and Cav - the burley is probably hidden by the flavourings it is enhancing. A most pleasant smoke - recommended highly

A really nice smoke! Apon opening the tin there is a wonderful aroma dominated by rum and Macadamia nuts. When smoking, I picked up on the rum and the nuts, but have yet to find the coconut. It's a very pleasant smoke and when puffed carefully, it's nothing but smooth. This one is definitely wife friendly, so enjoy!

I did not get the chance as a previous reviewer to enjoy the special edition 2007 but that is a fine aromatic with a discreet aroma.
When opening the tin the fruity aroma comes quite strong. Apricot or apple. One day I said 'marshamallow' and that can be quite disturbing.
Nice smoke with a discreet but persistant aroma. There are stronger aromatic from Peterson but that one is worth a try for its discreet and distinctive qualities.

Once again another great blend from Peterson. The Virginia, Burley, and Black Cavendish marry nicely with the casing of Macadamian nuts, rum, and coconut (the latter of which is least noticeable). The blend burns nice and evenly down, but a tad on the warmer side. Take your time with this blend, lightly sipping on it and you will be greatly rewarded with a very good experience.

I like to have an aromatic open for a change of pace , this one have a good nutty flavour and a balanced sweetness, burns a little hot so go slow and it will deliver some good flavours.

This aro, has the same problem like almost all aros;NO BODY/STRENGH. I like the flavour of it but the mouthfeeling is ....? Some hot sour air with no body to make it round , pleasant and satisfying. Not to forget it tends to burn hot and pain the tongue even if it is smoked slowly. The exhale through the nose offers a nice aroma, the rum is detectable which is nice to me and some tobacco is there to. all in all much to light

I had to check my notes to be certain: this appears to be a close relative of (if not identical to) Peterson's Special Reserve Limited Edition from 2007. According to the labels from both, it is the same tobacco and the same aromatics. I've smoked a lot of tobacco since then, but I remember that I really liked the Special Reserve blend from 2007. And missed it once my two tins were finished.
With some reservations, I purchased a tin to see. Upon opening it, by olfactory memory fired up and confirmed that this was just about the same. And as before, I like it very much. In addition, the room note is very pleasant as well.
So I am very happy to see this "return". It may not be exactly the same, but it's close enough for "government work"!
Thanks, Peterson!

I have been enjoying this blend immensly. I had gotten away from ARO's for many reasons. I was hesitant to give this a try. I was pleasntly surprised went i lit the first bowl.
Prelight aroma gives me an image a Carribean island and cool drink. Fruity and sweet. The flavor that I got was one of very light coconut. I only was able to taste the nutty flavor every once and a while. The smoke was cool through each pipe I smoked it through, and left no unpleasant aftertaste. The room note is so pleasing that I almost want to burn it as incense. All in all this blend has brought an ARO back into my regular rotation of tobacco.
