More Details |
For all of the P&C Faithful who were concerned that Dunhill tobaccos had disappeared forever - good news! The blends are back using the same exact blends and tobaccos, coming from the same factory. The only thing that's different is that they are now under the Peterson name. Even the classic artwork remains.
Peterson continues to deliver in quality and class with De Luxe Navy Rolls pipe tobacco. Each flake is hand-spun into a rope and sliced into medallions for a premium draw. Made of sweet flue-cured tobaccos from two continents with a nice amount of tangy Louisiana Perique, there's a natural sweetness combined with a grassy/hay taste to the blend, in part due to the maturing achieved by the pressure of being spun, and the coins allow for a variety of ways to prepare your smoke. This top-shelf Peterson pipe tobacco made of the finest Virginia and Perique blends is impeccably packaged in an eye-catching tin. Save on this premium tobacco with P&C's low prices.
This is a good quality tobacco. It doesn't have the sweetness that Virginia can present, but occasionally it pokes through the rich grass and hay flavors others look for in a Virginia. The perique is present, and occasionally the smoke coming out of the top of the bowl gives off an aroma of a dark brooding red zinfandel wine. Fold and stuff works when it dries a bit, but crumble it apart when you first open the tin.
I thought I was smoking a cigar in my pipe because this tobacco tasted like one. That's not necessarily bad, but I think this one is not quite for me.
My favorite smoke to this point by far. I'm a fan of Dunhill in general but I'm particularly fond of this blend. 5 stars. Smokes just fine in my Meerschaum cobs ( I live just a couple of blocks from the factory, have to support local business too you know!).
