Peterson Nutty Cut

Peterson - Nutty Cut.

First thought when this is opened is "fabulous", it appears to be mostly Burley and Virginia with about 20% Black Cavendish. It's not dry, nor damp and gives off a lovely aroma which is predominantly rum, more than nuts. The pieces are fairly uniform in cut, all about half a cm long with just a few differing in size.

Lighting this one is very easy: mine takes only two short touches with the flame and once lit it's incredibly steady in its burn; it stays lit and doesn't desist unless left un-attended. Flavour now, it's quite a delight! Unlike the blends smell the rum isn't too omnipotent, it actually just gives a pleasant rum like sweetness to the blend. The taste of the the Macedemia is quite faint, but detectable if looked for, whereas the coconut is a little easier to notify. Retro-haling improves the ease of recognition. The tobaccos are of a nice equilibrium, I get more of the Burley and Virginia's hay/cigarette note and a subtle sweet touch from the smaller amount of Black Cav'.

Nicotine: medium. Room-note: nice.

In all a superb aromatic that's not harsh, strong or sickly but more delicate and refined!

Highly recommended.

This is one of my favorite tobaccos! Such a mild smoke you can smoke quite a few bowls of it with little to no bite.

When I was first introduced to this tobacco I was so impressed that I thought I would never find another tobacco that could take it's place.

This is a tobacco that has a lightness and sweetness like angel cake vs heavy chocolate cake (I do like both mind you). Do not expect this to be a strong intense smoke. It is not for those who crave a ultra sweet and powerful bang. This is for us that like mild and elegant flavors.

Nutty cut does not have an overpowering coconut taste and smell, infact it's a pretty light aroma and flavor. I do not get the sense of coconut when smoking this. But more of an organic earthy aroma of warm baked nutty muffins.

Nutty Cut will always be one fo my favorites!

Nutty cut is a tasty combination of mild nutty, boozy flavors in a medley of quality tobaccos. The Virginia provides a citrus, grassy note while the Burley provides a earthy nutty note. The Cavendish is an essential player with some sugary sweetness(albeit not too much so). The toppings of the coconut, macadamia nuts and rum play nicely together to round out the blend. Aromatic, yes, but in a different class in my opinion. Lights, burns and smokes like a champ from the get go. No goopy mess in the pipe, flavor profile stays the course throughout the process. No bite here but the flavor is such that one may be tempted to smoke this too fast. All in all a top drawer addition to my rotation.

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 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!

If you want to see my notes on this aromatic blend from 2007 (or its very close cousin), see my review of Special Reserve Limited Edition 2007.

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.
