I am somewhat puzzled as to why this is called "Nutty Cut" because there was no nuttiness to any aspect of the tobacco, lit or unlit.
In the tin the leaf smells quite tangy- the virginias, I assume- with the Burleys in the background. There's a little earthiness or woodiness but this is a very dry note. No rum but a tiny bit of dates/ raisins/ pulses/ lentils. Maybe the slightest hint of coconut but I feel this is largely my imagination from the description on the tin.
A good moisture content out of the tin, but does get very wet when smoked. Nasty tobacco juice was a huge problem with this one. Keep some pipe cleaners handy to run down the stem every few minutes. Really considering popping a filter in next time I smoke (not something I've ever considered but this was awful on the moisture front).
Acidic tasting. Kind of like a "gone off" sweetness. Bites whichever way you smoke it, very bitter and hot. Sip slowly with this one. Very strong aftertaste on the tongue, too. Would advise smoking this with a cup of tea or coffee.
When smoked in a corncob I did get a little toasty/ roasted nutty flavour but I fear this was either my tongue or the bowl of my poor pipe.
It's only redeeming feature is a very enjoyable retrohale (through the nose). This is where all the flavour is hiding. Quite rummy/ fruity and not tangy or unpleasant at all.
Overall I feel like the pleasure in this smoke is not for the smoker! It's a great experience for people in the vicinity. Wonderful room note. Might be interesting for a newbie to sit and watch you try to smoke this because you will be using every tool you can lay your hands on to keep this bowl smokeable...

This blend has a mixture of coconut flavor some other taste I can't define. It tastes weird and leaves a gosh-awful aftertaste.

here in Brazil we have a phrase for something that deceives us through! "Fool's gold" is what this means tobacco!
there is the smell of cold is good, the run seems to prevail. and that's all he's good. give forward only disappointment!
1- cutting is bad; It looks like it was thrown into the turbine of an airplane, and then canned.
2- a fight to stay on, requires constant relighting, I believe that much of it is because of this court made the ax.
3- burning hot like a volcano! indenpendente how to smoke.
4-and of course the bowl turns into a swamp.
5- very weak in nicotine.
if it's any consolation for those who already bought it and you want to smoke it, it keeps a sweetness from beginning to end, and the rum flavor is also constant; but it's only!
in short, by the description can you imagine that will take you to seventh heaven; but the smoke it will not beyond the roof.
ps- used three different pipes including cob; he was bad in the three!

It always troubles me when I read a Tin of tobacco and see all the wonderful flavors that are SUPPOSED to be in the blend and simply ARE NOT. This is a tasteless tobacco and a waste of a $10 bill. Smoke your pipe empty...you'll get the same results.

I've only smoked unflavoured pipe tobacco thus far but I thought Id give aromatics a chance, and the desciption on the tin seemed to suit my tastes. But I was disapointed, to say the least.
Nutty cut does smell somewhat like rum and the other ingredients mentioned, but none of that smell actually translates into taste when smoked. The smoke tastes and smells like some kind of artificial perfume, similar to car-freshner or that blue stuff some people have in their toilet bowls. I suppose some people could will themselves into thinking it tastes like rum, coconut and macademia nuts, but I would be very surpised if this blend contained anything other than synthetic chemicals and esters. The taste from the actual tobacco is very mild and mostly concealed by the flavouring.
The only thing I can fairly say about this blend is that it's not a good idea to try it if you only smoke unflavoured pipe tobacco.

Was not impressed in any way with this blend. This definitely will be a once and done thing for me. Really did nothing for taste although the room note was very nice.

I feel a bit duped here. There wasn't anything very nutty about this one. All I got from opening the tin was a dusty sweet cardboard smell with a slight nose wrinkling cherry sour smell. I suppose I could be convinced there was a bad rum flavored topping at work here, but nothing I was wanting to engage.
The cut was also a let down. Gone were any meaty tendrils that packed a good smoke, instead you got a bunch of golden brown fish flakes. Having a cut with such a large percent of paper thin dime sized leaves does not work for two reasons. One, packing a bowl is a nightmare as you certainly can't use much pressure or your wad won't pull air through, so you had to loosely pack your pipe, which lead to problem... Two, it all burned so quickly, it was like smoking a cheap off brand cigarette that hits the filter after one drag.
While the taste of this aromatic certainly is not the worst thing I've smoke, there was nothing that made me want to continue. Again, it felt generic, and left a stinky cloud of old smoke smell (think that Uncle that never leaves his house to smoke) that hung in the air hours after smoking it.

Gosh, I'm going to be stepping on toes with this review. I don't seem to be having much luck with my outings with Peterson's.
All I can say is that every Peterson's blend has bitten me savagely, and it's something I can't put down to poor technique at this point. Possibly I have a PH chemistry that is at odds with their offerings. That in itself wouldn't indict Nutty Cut so comprehensively as to the main offender: the taste.
Once again it smells fantastic in the tin and room note, but that promised nuttyness for me comes from a coconut casing, and it's one I could do well without. It isn't that natural deep walnut as that which you get from a decent straight burley blend eg. Wessex BS, Solani ABF or Edgeworth RR.
I also had a very long drawn-out aftertaste that coats the mouth, that some aromatics can leave, but for me in this instance, it wasn't pleasant. I expect if, unlike me, you can get along with Peterson's aros, you'll do well to try a tin.
I like MacBaren and Sam Gawith aromatics once in a while, I just don't get on with Nutty Cut.

I did not like this blend and could barely finish it. And I enjoy all types of tobaccos, including aromatics. This one just had a bad taste to me. Too much coconut I think. Connoisseur’s choice is much better.

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.
