This is a very nice burley blend, light aromatic. Cube cut,the blend loads and packs easily. The casing and flavoring are light. I did not detect an eggnog taste but it has a light vanilla-ish, maybe eggnog smell in the bag. There is a definite nicotine kick due to it being burley. The flavoring comes through a bit while smoking but the sweetness is mostly due to the good quality burley. A tobacco lover's aromatic and a classic American smoke.
Note: Anyone who says this is a full aromatic, chemical laden smoke is either mistaken or the blend has changed.

At the Chicagoland Pipe Show I first encountered this.I said EGG NOG! The gent from Peretti said "good call". It is flavored with Rum. I found this much better than Pipes and Cigars' "EGG NOG". The flavor really is a rum like something with some vanilla thrown in. Peretti blends all have that old -timey taste to them. I think this is very similar to some of the Wilke aromatics I have tried. A nice smoke. It will not rock your world,but will at least settle your mood for a time. An aromatic diversion well worth trying 3 of 4 stars.

Eggnog indeed! I know Peretti's sells a Thanksgiving Day blend, but Belmont would certainly serve that role as well. When I opened the pouch I was struck with the delicious aromas of rum, nutmeg, and a hint of cinnamon.
This looks a bit different than other Burley blends from Peretti's as well. Intermixed with the rubbed out plug cut, there are relatively wide strips and ribbons, which I assume are the Cavendish.
The flavor is fairly mild, with the eggnog, but there is an oaken woodsiness wafting in and out that I found to be very pleasant. The sidestream smoke smells good enough to eat. I experienced no bite, and it burned quite dry as well.
All in all a pleasant holiday diversion. If you are used to heavy blends you might not care for this blend's mildness.
Recommended to lovers of light aromatics.

Another fine Peretti blend, and a happy medium between the old timey 101 and the 333. Pleasant burleys combine with rich, aromatic Cavendish. I'm liking these more than the bitey Wilkes and the more aggressive Pipes and Tobaccos' Old Tartan. If you must smoke aromatics, go for Perettis, as they will not goop or gurgle your pipe. An all day blend, that like an old friend, can always be relied upon.
