A subtle, delicate, mellow tobacco, Gold Blend is a composition of jet Black Cavendish, bright and dark Virginias, and fragrant Burley. This Peterson blend has an extremely pleasant note of Hickory Nut, Vanilla and a touch of Cinnamon is added.
the flavor is pretty good on this blend, but its instant agony for me, i couldn't even smoke half the bowl before my tongue was fiery sandpaper, would not recommend this blend at all. the special edition pete blends are incredible but whoever makes ...

Tin note of sweet nuts, vanilla and spices. Tobacco is a mixed cut of light brown, brown and black. Moisture content is great and larger chunks may need some attention. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild.... Read More Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of Hickory Nut, Vanilla and Cinnamon. The nut and vanilla are very evident in the initial light up but fade to the background. Cinnamon seems to stay in the background. Taste is mild to medium and moderately consistent, with notes of sweet vanilla, spices, nutty, wood, molasses, sugar, savory, mildly bitter, bready, tangy and tart dark fruit, cocoa, orange peel/zesty, sweet grass, citrus, a cinnamon and graham cracker background note, and a peppery retro. Burley is leading with Black Cavendish, Flavoring and Virginia supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good. Read Less
Hickory nut is the most prevalent flavor here complimented by the vanilla. Burned well. Good cut. Gotta be in the mood for Hickory nut. Pairs well with hazelnut coffee........for obvious reasons.
When smoke alone it is a three star. When mixed 50/50 with black cavendish its is fabulous. No burned tongue and room note is good enough that my family asks me tonight up. So 3 1/2 alone and 5 stars mixed.
