Peterson Sweet Killarney begins with two types of Virginias - a ribbon-cut bright and some rubbed-out flake. These tobaccos are combined with slowly-steamed black Cavendish and form the base to which a luxurious cream caramel essence is applied. The flavor is mellow and sweet with a comforting room note. Smooth and warm, Sweet Killarney is ready to sweep you away to the old sod.
Wonderful notes of caramel with a hint of oiled leather. Very fine even smoke that burns cool.

Sweet... it's what it is. And not much more.
May 18, 2023
If you like a very light smoke that's more for the nose than the palate you'll love it. As far as room note it has few equals.
Taste however? Like many heavy aromatics it's reminiscent if flavored steam. Very light taste and seems that nicotine is very light as well.

I found Sweet Killarney to be a very light and pleasantly sweet smoke. A pleasant afternoon treat.
I plan to keep a supply on hand for anytime I desire something a little different.

Must Try
Oct 02, 2022
First time smoking a pipe (usually a hookah and cigarillo smoker) and this was the first tobacco I tried. All I can say is...Wow!
I dried for about 2-3 hours and made a bowl. I had to relight it twice but overall the experience pleasant. The taste can be described as smooth with just a hint of sweetness. The scent was light, not the loud cigarette scent. And no tongue bite!
I already want to buy more and I just cracked open this tin. If you haven't already, try this!

(Not Too) Sweet Killarney!
Sep 13, 2022
Outstanding. I was concerned over the "Sweet" in the name, but do not be fooled... this has just the right, subtle amount of sweet and is a mild and pleasant smoke. This could easily be my new daily go-to. No bite, not too much nicotine and a nice room note.

Mellow sweet aroma, no bite

Mellow sweet aroma, no bite that I noticed. Doesn't leave the room smelling all day . Nice evening tobacco, I'd envision smoking this one while in quiet contemplation of the day.

Personal Favorite
Jan 22, 2022
This is my favorite mix, hands down. It has a very tasty caramel cream flavor, even on the tongue! The taste last the whole bowl too. Room note seems to be enjoyable to the folks around me. I can’t smell or taste any of the “fruity” flavors others have noticed, but my tin is 2 years old so maybe that has made a difference. Either way I love this stuff.

This wasy first Peterson blend and wow. I smoked my second bowl of this last night, and it was even better than the first. A light whisky note, mixed with a creamy caramel, and the room note was delightful.. definitely going to be one of my go-tos.

Quite A Good Aromatic
Oct 19, 2021
This tobacco has a somewhat strong tin-note of a nutty dried fruit with a subtle hint of vanilla. Before packing I would recommend drying for about 15 minutes, as you would with many other aromatics. Once packed the first light brings out a toasted cashews and raisin taste. As you smoke the bowl down to a bed of fine, white ash you will start to experience slightly less, but still noticeable, toasted cashew, with an increasingly more noticeable taste of raisin, and to top it off a slight hint of vanilla. The smoke is smooth and has body to it. This tobacco also has a nice, sweet, vanilla room note. Overall a pretty good pipe tobacco.

They Aren't Kidding
Aug 21, 2021
Peterson isn't kidding when they called this sweet Killarney. The tobacco is obviously very high quality. It is, I'm told, made in Denmark. The initial taste is much to sweet for my tastes but after five or six drags the sweetness does start to mellow out. By midway through the bowl it quite smokable as the sweetness gives way to the full flavor of the great blend of tobaccos. I personally would have liked try the blend without the caramel flavoring added because I think the blend could stand alone without the "help" but I realize that the tobacco was probably blended with Americans in mind so the sweeter the better.

Jul 26, 2021
This is a nice mellow blend, but the added sweet caramel flavoring is pretty much predominant. I find it far too sweet for an all day smoke, but it has found quite a nice place as an after-breakfast pipe.

Killarney tobacco
Dec 13, 2020
Arrived in a week. Fresh tobacco. Let dry a spell before smoking, my opinion. Great smoking and tasting tobacco. Smells the room with a smell of fruit cake to me. Them aroma off the tobacco in can smells like it too: 2nd order of this. I only smoke it during Christmas holidays.

Mild, yet Satisfying
Oct 31, 2020
The virginia tobacco and caramel topping blend well, it's mild yet, smoking slowly also, will help stay cool, this is when, the room note of caramel is clear. The taste and aroma are most pleasantly working up together, that brings the middle of the burn time as, noted before, the meld stays to the end. Not a heavy flavor.

The moisture level is great
Dec 03, 2019
The moisture level is great for jarring but you will need to dry a portion before you plan to smoke. A couple hours will do. Great flavor and a good room note. I don’t know why some reviews say this a a sickly sweet aromatic. I would say sweet Killarney is just aromatic enough to make the room note pleasant. Burned evenly and cool from light to finish with no gurgle. I had some slice in my tin that needing rubbing. All in all another great blend by Peterson.

Cavendish with a hint of berries

I always think I've tasted my favorite Virginia/Cavendish blend...and then I taste the next one. Despite smelling and tasting almost exactly like a blueberry Nutri-Grain bar, this stuff is bloody marvelous. I'd recommend Sweet Killarney to anyone who loves aromatic tobacco.

I liked this but I would say it is a little too wet of a smoke at first. It stays lit but I think you need to let it dry out some before smoking. It is a sweet taste but not too much. I like this better than the De Luxe mixture from Peterson.

An airomatic for the young and old.
May 19, 2016
Didn't know what to expect but I'm a die hard Peterson fan. Sweet Killarney was very mild with no bite despite it's intense tin aroma. It grows on you as you smoke it and leaves a nice room note. No trouble keeping it lit and just the right amount of moisture. Smoked it in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 408 and they took to each other like a duck to water.
By the way P&C knows how to take care of it's customers.

My Best Backup
Aug 12, 2015
Smoking a good pound of Trout Stream a month, Kilarney is one of two other blends I go to for a changeup. It has rich nuances and is, as the 1950's magazine ads for tobacco. ttermed, "satisfying."(synonymous with "nicotine.)
Customer Testimonials
Very nice tobacco. Tin note has fruit note that is very pleasant. Upon lighting, you get a very nice rush of flavor, lots of sweetness, followed by caramel later on in the bowel. This does come a little moist in the tin, so let it sit out for a few before backing. Very creamy smoke. The room note is very pleasant....will put this on the reorder list
SB of Bellevue, NE
Smokes too smooth, but has little character and flavor for me. This coming from a guy who leans toward English and general Perique blends. A good starter for someone letting go of aromatics. It was reccomended as a good virginia with loads of flavor. I can't say it lives up to that.
SR of Austin, TX
Burns smooth, has a really strong Cavendish come-thru on the exhale. Enjoying some right now, very wintry flavor that must be enjoyed with some strong brew. Be advised, as in my experience, this Peterson Tin like the rest to come very moist. Be sure to allow dry time before initial smoke to guarantee smooth sailing.
TL of Jacksonville, FL
Not bad! Has a nice caramel aroma and a nice taste. Smokes pretty smooth too.
