I didn't like it! I like Old Dublin and Irish Flake plenty (the flake is my 'gotta have' tobacco these days) - but this just struck me as a most peculiar blend. Firstly, it hurts: perhaps this is the Perique levels in this one (though Ashton's Artisan Blend has a fair bit of Perique in and I liked it full well) to me it just seemed as though this tobacco contained about 50% pepper. A stinging sensation accompanied the first half of every pipe full - not tongue burn - a little like inhaling some sort of mild tear gas. Actively painful, not at all pleasant.
When this settled down after about half a pipe I suppose it became a pleasant smoke, with a fair jolt. But to get to this zone meant going over the pain hurdle every time. So I just won't buy it again.

Not my thingie! Never encountered a similar pipe tobacco. I do agree with some other reviewers that is tastes and smells like cigarettes. It does not taste like cigars! Cause I like a good cigar! In the tin it smells and looks very natural. The tobacco packs and burns well. This is not what I expect from a pipe tobacco...

This stuff tastes like a wet dog smells. I've tried smoking this on a number of occasions--two cans worth actually and it doesn't do anything for me. It tastes like an asstray--blech.
This isn't to say that other Peterson blends are bad--just this one. Their aromatics aren't too sweet and their English er Irish blends aren't bad either. I'd gladly fill a pipe and smoke some of them, but not this stuff.

Not much flavor for me; too much nicotine. It seems to me like a cigarette tobacco. Yes, I do lean toward the cavendishes, but I also love Englishes for their earthy and botanical notes. This has no real flavoring that you wouldn't find beyond a cigarette or cheap cigar. The nicotine level got me to the verge of swimmyheadedness, but not completely. If I'm willing to take in so much nicotine, I'm going to want some good flavors to go with it, as found in any good English.
