Sweet and Fruity

As soon as I open the lid, you can smell raisin, date, fig and a little bit of rum. It all comes through and the smokey aroma, this is one of the sweeter Petersons that I've had. It's not enough to detract you from the nice tobacco blend, it just simply enhances it.
Very Enjoyable

I picked up a tin of Connoisseurs blend from my local cigar shop. I thought I should try something new. This was a very flavorful and enjoyable smoke. It was on the milder side, and had a somewhat sweet finish. I am far from an expert in discerning more subtle flavors, however the vanilla and maple were easy to discern. I think this would be an excellent choice for a day on the water. This blend may pair well with a cup of coffee on a summer morning....Read More

Such an elegant blend that smokes wonderfully from beginning to end. Mild but not short on flavor or aroma. Tin note is a beautiful bouquet of vanilla, mild citrus, rum, and tobacco. Very satisfying.
awesome!

Tin note of maple sugar, spices and vanilla. Tobacco is a course cut of light brown, brown, dark brown and black. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of Fruit, Maple, Rum and Vanilla. The maple and rum disappear in the first 1/4. Vanilla and fruit move to the background, fruit holds out the longest. Taste is medium and moderately consistent, with notes of sweet maple, vanilla spiced rum, fruit bread/cake, brown sugar, acidic, wood, grassy hay, zesty bitterness, orange peel, dry, spicy, mildly savory, a background note that sometimes is a lemony citrus and sometimes coffee like, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Cavendish and Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More
It smelled great but had no taste.

I ended up giving this away. It smelled fantastic but tasted like hot air. I tried it multiple times in multiple pipes I just got nothing out of it. Full disclosure, I gave up on aromatics after trying this blend. I’ll occasionally smoke English blend but I’m more of a Va/Per, Va/Ber kind of pipesmoker. Some orientals or dark fired Kentucky thrown in don’t hurt either....Read More
A European aromatic with quality tobacco you can taste
August 22, 2022
Product: Peterson Connoisseur's Choice 50g
The problem with most American aromatics is you can't taste any tobacco...only whatever artificial goop they smoother it with. It's usually like overly sweet candy for adults. This is not the case with quality European aromatics, such as Connoisseur's Choice. This tobacco is well blended with an assortment of refined flavors. It's not overly sweet. It's like a warm vanilla rumcake with the mild sweetness balanced by earthy and nutty flavors in the tobacco. It's very smooth. It burns a bit hot so I recommend to use at least a mid size bowl. This has an amazing room note which is one of those blends that many people would think of when they say, "I love the smell of a pipe." I usually lean toward English blends but this is a lovely blend which is a regular for me to rotate in to my mix....Read More
Not quite there

Product: Peterson Connoisseur's Choice 50g
Purchased this blend a couple of months ago and when received I immediately had to try it. Somewhat of a disappointment, just didn’t have taste although the tin note wasn’t bad at all. Tried it again today and even though it was on the dry side it was actually a little better. Smoked it in a mid 70’s Peterson 313, the first time was with a Peterson Capt Pete I got off of eBay. I going to give it another go after I’ve hydrated it for a couple days and hopefully it will get even better....Read More

I really like Peterson blends. I feel that this is better than the Deluxe and Sweet Killarney blend.
