I have tried several limited editions from Peterson and of course some are wonderful and other ones disappointing.
That is just now I bought last year's blend. Opening the tin, the cocunut flavor is predominant. It reminded me of some chocolate bars with cocunut flavor I used to have decades ago!!!
When smoking it the cocunut remains predominant and I must say I did not notice vanilla or lime as advertised on the tin.
Just a nice smoke, only for aromatic enthusiasts!

After enjoying the 2011 Summertime Blend I decided to give the 2012 one a go.
Once again it's a wonderful leaf combination of Virginias, Burleys, and Black Cavendish that is very attractive and smokes well. Definitely a quality leaf.
It isn't overly moist and packs well. The char light and true light are taken nicely. It burns evenly and to a nice beautiful white ash at the bottom of the bowl.
As for flavor though, that's a whole different story. In the beginning it comes out with this horrible lime flavor that is just awful. Once you get midway through the bowl though that fades and in comes the coconut, vanilla, and a bit of liquor noticeable. The improvement in flavor is tremendous. I for one however did not enjoy the fact that I had to suffer through the first half of the bowl to get to the good flavors.
Overall it's an okay blend, but definitely not Peterson's best Summertime offering. I'm hoping the 2013 version is better.
