The Rocky Road to Dublin..
March 30, 2018
Product: Peterson Old Dublin 50g
Old Dublin is a very solid English with a lot of flavor. I like it a lot, but I didn't at first. Also, I never realized there was black Cavendish in it until I saw the description again here. After smoking it more, I realized it's there—rather than s... Read More
tanding out, the B.C. flavor blends into the mix. Old Dublin was one of the first Englishes I ever tried, though at first impression, I didn't enjoy it much. When I got some from a friend that'd been aged for a five years, it completely blew me away. After that was gone, I went back to the
batch I bought—which was only 3-4 months old—and it had already mellowed out considerably. Beginners take note – Latakia mellows-out considerably just a few days after the seal is popped, and even more so once it's given some time to cellar in a jar. Just a few months can change a blend with considerable Latakia content like this one for the better—from harsh to mild and creamy in a rather short time. So if you're initially turned-off by it, give it a chance! If you're looking into Englishes, this is one good blend to try. Dry it out well and give it a go! Read Less
Burst of Aroma

Product: Peterson Old Dublin 50g
The Basma leaf here adds more than the usual Oriental leaf. Lights well and burns to the bottom of your bowl. One to stock up on.
An underrated gem

Product: Peterson Old Dublin 50g
In my opinion, the very model of a medium English blend. The balance between Latakia and Oriental is superb. I always keep several tins on hand.
Another Peterson Quality Blend W/Unique Flavor
May 25, 2019
Product: Peterson Old Dublin 50g
This stuff, I'd say, is a cross between a Balkan and an English... if that makes any sense. Whatever, it's academic. I'll refer to it as an English since that's stated in the description although Balkans are my definite choice when it comes to Lataki... Read More
a Blends. I think this is an excellent blend and many find it exceptional.
The way the other tobaccos melded with the Cyprian Latakia created a really tasty, unique English unlike any I've tried before & I liked the results. I've never been a big Latakia fan like some who'd smoke nothing else but I did take a liking to this. It was a welcome change from most of the "ordinary" flavors of other English blends containing the Latakia leaf. Read Less
Very tasty English blend.

Product: Peterson Old Dublin 50g
What makes Old Dublin stand out from other Englishes? Perhaps above all else, its fragrant melding of the flavors. Latakia here is more leathery than musty-earthy, the Orientals here are more verdant than dry kitchen-spice-y, the Virginia adds a ref... Read More
reshingly grassy base, and everything is tinged with delicious winking sweet sparks of Cavendish.
Instead of blending into a homogeneous aroma, all of these flavors combine into a refreshingly fragrant bouquet of intricate textures and stimulating notes.
Emphasis on verdant and refreshing: this is not a "dusty smoke" for turning crumbling pages in subterranean archives, this tobacco tastes and feels like it grows organically in your tin overnight like some magic spice.
Aptly named, too: bringing back the aura of mystery to the worn cobblestone Dublin streets. Best enjoyed on a walk outside in the biting cold -- it is when the flavors truly shine and unfold. Read Less

I appear to be going against the grain a bit here, but I was not terribly impressed with Old Dublin. OD is not a terrible tobacco by any stretch, but it seemed to be just boring to me. I love several straight Virginia blends and some call those borin... Read More
g. I also love several straight Burleys that others call boring. This just happens to be one that I find horribly, well, boring.
While this blend is not bad, I have to say that I think that it is quite similar to other light Latakia blends. To put it in perspective, if someone put Squadron Leader or King Charles Mixture in an Old Dublin tin, I don't think that I'd be able to tell the difference one way or the other. I know I sound like a broken record, but it's not bad. It's just not really anything that I think stands out as a great tobacco for me.
I give it two stars, because two is supposed to stand for "Somewhat Recommended." I don't give two stars to blends that I dislike greatly; I mete out one star ratings for those. I could only give this one two stars because I know that I will never buy it again, but I think that others may enjoy it. Read Less
Favorite English
March 12, 2020
Product: Peterson Old Dublin 50g
The succulent taste of Basma, Latakia, Virginias and just a hint of Black Cavendish. I love Turkish leaf , and this satisfies with a smooth but complex blend.
Old Dublin
September 22, 2018
Product: Peterson Old Dublin 50g
Tin aroma is smoky and sweet with a little bit of tang in the nose. Flavor profile is smoky and sweet with a light hint of bitterness on the finish. I would classify this as a lighter Latakia blend.

Perfect balance. Gets even better with age.
Stunning Smoke
December 12, 2017

This blend is a work of art. From the opening tin notes of dried fruits and smoked meat to the unmistakable smoking notes of banana bread and plum pudding, down to the fine white ash left in the bowl, this blend held me fast and has swiftly moved to ... Read More
join my reigning favourite, G.L. Pease's Blackpoint. I was laughing out loud to myself with pleasure while smoking this blend.
I found this blend to be the manifestation of all that I have discovered and wanted: a cool, bite-less, flavourful, mouthful culminating in the columns of smoke emanating skyward. Perfect balance of all components.
I have never bought a pound of tobacco (sadly, I smoke irregularly maybe 3-4 times a week), but this one has got my name on a 16 oz. bag in the near future.
If you are interested in breaking into English blends, but do not know where to start, try this. If you are an old hand with English blends and have not yet put this into your rotation, give it a try. I can hardly wait to put some of this aside for aging.
Cheers to all and good smoking! Read Less

Old Dublin is one of my old favorites

Peterson’s Old Dublin is a traditional Scottish Blend that hits all the right notes. Flavorful, smokey, with a hint of sweet. A traditional style blend that won’t disappoint. I have enjoyed this blend for many years. Always a good fall favorite.
