Good one but not memorable
April 17, 2025
Product: A&C Petersen Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
Currently opening a 2023 tin. With so much of good reviews, now is the time. Mellow, smooth, fermented fruits and without a bite. Not memorable but no regrets. Id rather go for peter stokebye, or bayou morning yes.
5 Year Treat
May 13, 2025
Product: A&C Petersen Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
Recently cracked open a 5 year old tin purchased during COVID times... Upon cracking the tin, I was prepared to experience the magic. Sadly, it just tasted like regular old Escudo. Maybe a bit better but... Not magic. So I put it in a jar and let it sit for a month. Now the coins have darkened to a deep brown and the experience of smoking it is truly sublime. It's on a whole 'nother level! It's magic. Now I know. Thankfully I still have another pound of tins left from that purchase. It's going to be hard to not smoke them all this year. Just wow....Read More
Negative reviews due to age
May 23, 2025
Product: A&C Petersen Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
Escudo is and always has been one of those tobacco tins you buy for the future. It's usually sharp and monochromatic when young, but turns into hay and stewed fruit after 5 years. Also it should be noted, after that 5 years, (as mentioned by another reviewer), it should rest in a jar after opening for a few days. Sounds like alot of work? Yes, it is. Is it worth it? I personally think so. It is currently over priced. Has been for a while. But if you have a chance to pick up some 2013-2015, you will be glad you did....Read More
Sometimes I Crave It
April 10, 2025
Product: A&C Petersen Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
Reminds me of corn-chips, vinegar, something floral and smoke. I like it alright. Sometimes I crave it. Vinegar for me is the dominant flavor. The bottom third of the bowl may have some dark fruit flavors but that could also be a ghost from university flake or Formers Private Flake past.
Better VaPer to be had

Save your money. Buy bulk Stokkebye Bullseye flake instead.

Escudo is well represented in my cellar and for good reason. This blend ages with the best of them. Although, I really enjoy this blend with just a year of age on it. At this time when you crack a tin it has an incredible tin note of muscadines. The smell takes me back to my childhood and stopping at fruit stands on the side of the road with my mom. The blend not only smells great but it also taste pretty darn good too. The blend supports a wonderful mix of fruit, spice and a touch of hay (particularly when it is young). Give this one a try if you have not done so already....Read More
Muscadine Grapes
March 16, 2025
Product: A&C Petersen Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
Anyone raised in the Deep South is more than likely familiar with muscadine grapes. Shoot, we used to pick em straight off the vine and pop em in our mouths. So when, after smoking my first tin, I read that someone had picked up the faintest hint of muscadines, I realized that that was what I, too, was picking up on and why I was enjoying Escudo so much. Some may liken it to apricots or some other fruit. To each their own. Bottom line, Escudo has a permanent place in my cellar. It’s a sweet and tasty VaPer rolled in delightful coins that are easy to rub out and pack into your favorite pipe. The moisture content is great straight out of the tin for me with little drying time required. The muscadine is most prominent on the retrohale and it’s another one of those “baccys” that I enjoy all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Prov. 3:5,6...Read More
Decent, but left something to be desired
December 28, 2024
Product: A&C Petersen Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
I feel that this blend, while good, leaves me wanting more. The perique gives me the spice, but the other flavor notes (grass, fruit, bread, etc) are somewhat subdued. I like it, but I don't love it.

Definitely a staple in my rotation when I want a Va/Per. This was one of the first tobaccos I fell in love when I got back into pipe smoking a year ago. Can’t wait to see how it does with some age.
