i always find it hard to describe a tobbacco in one word, but this time this can be done. to me, this one is just plain and simple "joyful":)
i find this one to be a light smoke, that burns easy and smooth till the end of the bowl. no bite, no gurgling, and other similar pleasures.
coconut is very well articulated with some tropical fruit aromas and tastes in the background. no vanilla or citrus detected. a bit of cotton candy taste or similar sweetness, yet it is way back and somehow in the shadow of the coconut. no nicotine rush, just a nice and light smoke.

I acquired this with much anticipation given the high ratings this has received and my previous foray into Peterson's tobacco was reasonably encouraging. I did have a little trepidation over the size of the tin but an extra couple of shifts at work put a little extra in my pocket so I thought I would indulge myself.
I was quite impressed upon receiving the tin, it's size and shape just had a rightness about them and the design threatened to whisk me off to some Caribbean or Mediterranean paradise. The plastic sheath enfolding the tobacco inside was, too, very prettily, if delicately, folded and with such neatness too. It seemed a violation to unravel it to get at the so nicely packed merchandise within. Nonetheless, I ventured carefully to unwrap the naughty leaf within and gather it into my pipe as the wafts of coconut and vanilla tempted my nostrils into inhaling deeper. My first pipe, easily packed and lit, was pleasure itself, the flavour was as intense as the tin aroma with the addition of hints of lime popping every so often. Also, hints of caramel joined with the vanilla to add an almost toffee taste to it. Very nice so far. Sadly though, this love affair with my senses faded, not quickly, but soon enough. After about ten smokes, the flavours began to fade a little allowing hints of the decent enough tobacco crept in underneath with just a hint of tonguebite along for the ride.
I am now about three quarters of the way through the 100g tin and the smoke has faded into a melange of mediocrity. It's certainly enjoyable enough to finish, I am just a little saddened that the flavouring faded so quickly, though am certainly not tempted to dispose of the remainder to the confines my scragends jar. The tobacco as it stands now, is probably worth two and a half stars, as it was with that first pipe, definitely worth four. I think a three is probably about right for the whole tin, even if I do find myself slightly disappointed.
