Peterson Nutty Cut

Another slightly weaker Peterson.

The nuttiness is fairly well present in this, although it doesn't create a super enjoyable taste to my senses; I classify blends like this as "non-offensive" aromatics. Smoke is on the medium side of mild but my major gripe with this is that it is loathe to burn, and also somewhat dirty. In my experience it's actually the second worst burning tobacco after Greve Hamilton; 2-3 charring lights is the norm, as is several relights per bowl, and again there's a fine line between puffing hard and the pipe wanting to go out completely. This seems to be an inherent characteristic of the blend as drying out only marginally helps. The tobacco also "sweats" quite a lot of tar, it's not unusual to hear the stem spluttering and wheezing with it while smoking, and cleaning is therefore a bit more involved process than usual. Tongue bite is moderate, somewhat more than one would maybe expect from a blend like this but the smoke, once you get to it, is not actually that bad - a little bit on the dark medium side, with a nutty overtone supported by hints of coffee/cocoa. It's just that getting to that slow, peaceful flow of smoking is a bit too much work with this blend. Two stars leaning on one.

Recommended to aromatics smokers only, with caution.

This won’t be a big review, as it’s not much to say. But remember, every review is a personal, subjective opinion, so it may or may not be the same to yours. And my personal opinion about this blend is: The worst tobacco blend I’ve smoked. There was Rattray’s Union Jack which i also hated, but at least that one had some aroma. This “Nutty Cut” is flat, has no aroma, it doesn’t taste of tobacco or cocco or nuts or beans or rum or anything. It’s just flat. While reviewing this tobacco I’m using two pipes... a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Original and a Savinelli Porto Cervo, both smoking very well any aromatic. I tried this tobacco in both pipes at the same time. Absolutely no difference. You smoke and can’t feel anything, and if you try to draw more in order to taste anything, all you will get is a tongue bite and a sour taste. It also burns very, very bad. It goes out quick, and when you relight it and try to keep the pipe lit, it will get hot. I never had this experience with any other blend. The only good thing about it is the tin smell and the room note. Very disappointed. I’ll give it more chances in the future, but I don’t think I’ll be able to smoke more than half of the tin.

I am slowly becoming convinced that any aromatic with a Peterson label on it will be a worthwhile pursuit and this one was no exception. I wouldn't say it was my favorite aro by Peterson, that honor so far rests with DeLuxe Mixture, but it is close enough to warrant a fourth star IMHO.

Like the other aros by Pete, this carried an abundant aroma in the tin note, but once lit it became apparent that the topping was lightly applied allowing the tobacco to come forth and adding only a mere accentuation to the same. This, like the others, is a great mix of burley and Virginia which brings natural nuttiness in itself to the blend before any toppings are added. The cut was the only thing I felt was odd about this blend. It was kind of all over the place with some very large pieces of what appeared to be Virginia leaf. While the appearance of this was random, it performed flawlessly which is all the matters anyway. I never had a problem taking this down to ash with one light when I wasn't interrupted.

A lot of times I don't favor toppings when they are made to resemble things I like to eat, but that is not the case with this one. It is made of everything I like to eat and I just loved it; key to this is probably the coconut as this is something I really enjoy in toppings. I am pretty sure that if the toppings were not told to me upfront, there is no way I would be able to identify them individually, in fact, I really thought that it came off as more a carmelly confectionary type taste.

Another bonus to the Peterson Aros is they also satisfy the nic cravings. They are not overwhelmingly strong by any means, but they will leave you sated, at least they do me. I think this one will really ring the bells of burley lovers who are looking for a sweet treat. This burley lover really enjoyed it and could easily smoke it all day.

The description was tempting. The aroma when I cracked the tin was off putting. Strong artificial fruity, possibly coconut smell. I tried half a bowl as a test and found no improvement. I've encountered a couple other European blends that have a similar odor and wonder if it is something in the casing that is common between them. Can't recommend.

Lacks in taste, no mouthfeel whatsoever. Out of the tin has a lovely aroma and the room note is not entirely unpleasant. The only way you get any taste other than smoke is retrohale, which really very nice.

This is a characteristic aromatic blend in Peterson style wich means tense aroma,lots of moisture and rich aromatic flavours.when the tin cracks a nice sweet and nutty rum aroma comes out.the blend moisture is a lot so i recommend some drying time.the ribbons are large and since dried the pack and light easy though some relights are needed through smoking.while burning the flavours are exactly what the tin aroma promises.sweet rum notes are dominant accompanied from some nuts from the burleys.the virginias are mostly citrucy and grassy but a little tonned down.burns medium speed and hot with a lot moisture being created at the end of the bowl and the filter.smoke it peacefully because a little tongue bite might appear.the room note is perfect.the aftertaste is sweet.generally this is a nice aromayit blend typical Peterson's style that can be an all day smoke.

This pipe tobacco may be difficult for the novice smoker to pack as there are large chunks of material that doesn't really burn well without a number of re-lights. I'd equate getting this tobacco to burn as being like trying to light raisins or dates. Not impressed by this blend.

This is a strange blend. On the surface it looks very much like Peterson's Luxury Blend: the composition is similar and also has a strong casing, in this case it's an almost overwhelming aroma, very sweet, mixing some fruit and liquor. Out of the tin it smells very, very good.

However, when smoking, it falls a bit flat. The flavouring disappears (but gives a nice room note) and the tobacco doesn't really offer anything. Where Luxury Blend has a nice pure tobacco taste (thanks to the burley, I guess) here you're just smoking a very plain mixture. It doens't taste bad, but it doesn't have much to offer either. For sure this blend will have its fans, but I think that you can find something better in Peterson's other offerings.

I dont see what all the hype is in this blend, in fact this is not Petersons best quality. Opening the tin you get the rum scent and smoking you get rum but not much more. In fact this reminded me of a cheap cigar aka. Phillies and Swisher Sweets at times. Peterson goofed on this one. Yuck !
