Pretty Good

I’d probably buy more if it wasn’t ribbon cut.
It's A'ight.

This, in my opinion, is a firmly "middle of the road" VaPer. Tin note of raisin bran, smokes sweet and vaguely fruity. No particular flavors stand out from the constituent tobaccos. The perique is barely noticeable and the virginias are very mild. I ... Read More
suspect the flavors will improve with age. EDIT: I smoked another bowl this afternoon from a cob after letting the tobacco sit in a jar for a few weeks. You know, this blend isn't too bad. I still think it's middle of the road, but it packs enough mellow flavor that I added another star. I could see myself going to this tobacco for afternoon smokes when I'm not craving anything in particular. Read Less
Will get better with age

Product: Peterson Elizabethan Mixture 50g
I've never had the dunhill branded stuff, but this re release is a pretty solid VaPer. I would consider this an all day smoke. It's something you can just pack, light , puff and enjoy as you go about your day. Its fuller in flavor compared to GLP Str... Read More
atford, and the VA's are more breast than sharp. The first 1/3 of the bowl is a bit harsh ( which I think has to do with the lack of age), but the rest of the bowl is balanced and tasty. It's not complex, but it's not boring. Read Less
Harsh & Hot

Product: Peterson Elizabethan Mixture 50g
I purchased this based on a review on YouTube by someone who claimed it his favorite. I was surprised. The tin note is delightful with hints of plum and fig. However upon smoking several bowls within a rotation of other Peterson blends, this one d... Read More
oes not agree with me. It smokes hot and I get a tongue bite. I'll cellar this tin and try it again a few months later. Read Less
Very good

I was extraordinarily happy to learn that the dunhill tobacco's were coming back so soon, and Elizabethan was my first new purchase. Hopefully Dark Flake will return soon? Unlike with the original, I thoroughly enjoyed this Elizabethan fresh, thoug... Read More
h perhaps that's just my taste changing. It's fresh tobacco in this blend, but the familiar aromas are there;. The sweetness of golden and dark Virginia with that delicious tang of perique, and just a hint of that green/fresh Virginia aroma. As one would expect with an unaged va/per, it could be considered a little harsh, but I enjoyed the added spice in my nostrils as I retrohaled. After 4-6 months of aging Elizabethan will be an incredible all day smoke, and I look forward to the deeper flavor and smoother smoke it reveals. Is it the same as the old Elizabethan? Yes! Thank God. And Peterson, also. Read Less
Enjoying it!!

Thought i had reviewed. This already, but here we go. I am recent covert to VaPer's and Virginia's. And unfortunately for me I never got to try this as a Dunhill, so i don't have that to compare it too. I Do Smoke a lot of the Sutliff Victorian, whic... Read More
h is supposed to be a Match for DH'S Elizabethan. Compared to that, this stands up and holds it's own. The Sutliff is a little sweeter and the Peterson is more on the spicy side i guess owing to a greater Perique content. The sweetness tends to follow on the back end of the smoke for me. I have been enjoying this blend and can't wait to see how it stands after a year of ageing. Read Less
An all day vaper

Product: Peterson Elizabethan Mixture 50g
I really do not recall a big difference between this and the last version. Placebo effect perhaps but i feel the perique is less. Very good virginias and mild with no tongue bite. Very subtle all day smoke. The cut is fine ribbon and the smell is ver... Read More
y faint of fermented virginia. Now murray version was much more pungent but thats none ressurectable. I hope this pass as a legit replacement for those who remorse the loss of the last one but on its own right its a good blend.

Product: Peterson Elizabethan Mixture 50g
For years I hunted through virginias for that special one. While i do enjoy lots of different choices out there, Elizabethan Mixture really hits the spot. Its sweet, bready, earthy, spicy, dark, and has a nice dose of nicotine to keep me happy. It ne... Read More
ver gets dull, it never bites, it never turns harsh. It's just satisfying overall. It also has very good potential for aging. When I cant decide what I want in my rotation for the time, or just burned out for wanting anything else, or just want to smoke away and not have to think about it, I chose Elizabethan. Let's face it, a lot of Virginias other there arent very user friendly. But you cant go wrong with this one for sure. Read Less
Same as Dunhill STG era blend

Product: Peterson Elizabethan Mixture 50g
This was the first tobacco that I was introduced to by local tobacconist in Korea. By then I had no idea what a ribbon cut is nor Va/Per is. But immediately I knew this was my blend. I had several tin first tin I savored it for a month with aromatic ... Read More
blend and it got crispy dry. It was pretty sour and hot when you smoke it dry... I began to cellar it after I took a counseling and teaching from the said tobacconist. I've been cellaring for 5 years now. Just a month ago I opened it. That citrus tanginess wore off, blended into sweet aroma of Virginia. To compare with freshly open can. I can't say which is better. Freshly opened tins are great too, they are already balanced out in flavor and you can enjoy that citrus smell every time you stick your nose in. That is the power and quality of perique in the blend. Read Less
Does It Live Up to the Hype?

Product: Peterson Elizabethan Mixture 50g
Short answer? Sort of. Long answer? This is another blend that's been put on a pedestal by a lot of smokers. When Peterson reintroduced the Dunhill blends, I decided to take the plunge and order a tin. I've been enjoying it, but it's nothing spe... Read More

Classic VaPer wonderful play with the Perique and Virginia.
It's back!

I'm so glad Peterson picked up the Dunhill tobaccos. I really enjoyed this, there's no noticeable difference when compared to the Dunhill. The quality Virginia with the touch of Perique is a great match. It's a well rounded, enjoyable smoke.
A very rewarding blend

Elizabethan is one of the finest pipe tobaccos ever blended. Many beginner pipe smokers have trouble with Virginia or Va-pers, but if dipped properly, you will be rewarded with the full pleasure provided.
Delightful

Product: Peterson Elizabethan Mixture 50g
After seeing so many endorsements on our pipe smoking forum, I decided to give this a try. I was not disappointed. For a perique, it’s not too peppery for me. This has a very pleasant taste and room note. I intend to buy more.
