Peterson Irish Dew
(2.48)
The Peterson Irish Dew is a new luxury mixture of well-matured Virginia and toasted burley tobaccos with whiskey and blossom fruit undertones. The sweet hint of vanilla and touch of chocolate arising from the toasted burley give this tobacco an exceptional finish. The blend is pressed into cakes and rubbed, enhancing the natural aroma of the tobacco.

The pouch was packaged in May 2021, so the tobacco in it was fresh. I find it pointless to try to store and age such budget blends.
Appearance: a finely chopped blend of light, almost lemon Virginia and a slightly darker straw burley. I know from the description of the production of this blend that the tobacco is first pressed into a cake and then finely chopped, so the cut can be considered something in between just chopped tobacco and broken flake. The shades of the different tobaccos are very close in color, and at arm's length the blend seems almost homogeneous. It is very easy to pipe, and the moisture to the touch is almost perfect.
Flavor: A fairly simple bouquet consisting of hay, fresh malted bread, roasted chestnut, bitter chocolate and a barely recognizable vanilla note. The flavoring is definitely noticeable, but overall - the overall flavor of the blend is very unexpressive. I'm not sure that I felt the whiskey in it.
Taste: a straightforward typical ordinary Virginia with some Burley. Fresh sweetish hay, a little bit of woody and earthy burley with a nutty hint - and, actually, that's it. No undertones, no transitions. The tobacco smokes hot enough and requires slow smoking, but initially it tends to bite your tongue if you overheat it a little. By the middle of the pipe the birley gains strength and the light Virginia becomes weaker, the flavor becomes softer, sweetish-woody with a typical earthy-walnut flavor, but remains the same unexpressed. The strength is just below average. The tobacco burns into a fine ash of almost white color, leaving some moisture in the pipe.
The smoke is quite dense for such a light blend, with a distinct "cigarette" smell. It hangs in the room, having a sweetly woody smell, similar to the smell of American cigarettes.
What's the bottom line? Overall, it's hard to say anything about the advantages of this blend. But it's also hard to find faults with it. This is a very ordinary budget tobacco "for every day" that unassuming fans of Virginia-Burley blends can smoke - the flavoring hasn't spoiled it one bit. Honestly, I don't understand what for it was needed here at all.

A mild tobacco, used it when I was just getting into pipes. I think it is not that strong neither in scent nor in taste, and the nicotine levels are really tolerable, you can some a handful of this tobacco. It is not that flavorful. kind of a simple tobacco choice, for newcomers and smokers with a little experience as well.
