Peterson: Sherlock Holmes 50g Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-050-0004
While, Peterson's Sherlock Holmes pipe series is among the Irish marque's most collectible and celebrated, the Sherlock Holmes pipe tobacco boasts a much longer history, dating to a recipe from 1889 — just two years after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first publication, A Study in Scarlet. As a blend, it comprises Virginia and Burley tobaccos with a light citrus topping to highlight the Virginias' natural sweetness. A historic, vintage blend, Sherlock Holmes is a contemporary mixture of Doyle and Holmes' time period — the perfect commemoration.

This went well with my Calabash pipe. I found the hint of citrus light and complimentary. One of my favorite tin tobacco.
Easy and Pleasant Smoke

/bready quality of bright leaf at all. This blend is definitely on the brighter end of the spectrum, but it has some depth to it. It’s convinced me to give bright Virginia another chance. Plus, I’m a big Sherlock Holmes fan. I can’t allow myself to jump to a dislike of something that carries the name.
Taste wise, this is a medium light, sweet, lemon zest, bready smoke with some deeper fruit notes, likely from some dark Virginia. There’s rumor burly is present but it was hard for me to tell. Thought I picked up some nuttiness here and there. Over all very pleasant smoke....Read More

go, as I was reorganizing my "cellar", I rememebred I had jarred the rest of that tin and put it out of my mind. Now having an experienced perspective on a variety of tabaccos, I gave this another try with age. Wow, what a completely different experience! The harshness that I remembered was completely gone, and what remained was a very smooth, sweet, and nutty blend that was gentle on the palette. This was the first time I had experienced such a dramatic change with aging my own tobacco, and has motivated me to buy more Virginias to cellar away. So my recommendation would be to buy a few tins of this each year to cellar away, and then start smoking them a few years down the road so that you can always enjoy this blend with age. Cheers!...Read More

Burn cool with no bite and a very subtle citrus note. Needs a little dry time out of the tin. I will be throwing a couple tins in the cellar to see how it does with some age.

I normally smoke aromatics but decided to give this a shot. Glad I did. Cool, dry smoke and a wonderful flavor with no tongue bite. I'll be buying more to cellar.
Nice Mild Virgina Burley blend

A fine morning blend to me, or early day, with a bright flavor with a hint of citrus. It is a great blend, well packaged, and holds well. The sweet Virginia ribbons are delightful. An excellent introduction to Virginia's and a more traditional blend.
A blend that could be used to solve a three pipe problem

A nice mellow Virginia blend mixed with Burley to help keep it mellow. A nice lemon citrus aroma when you open the tin. Nice flavor. Not over powering. Could definitely be an all day smoke. I would recommend letting it dry out a little before smoking.

't have tried this lest a buddy of mine gifted it to me, which is exactly what happened. This stuff exceeded my expectations completely. I smoked nearly the entire tin in 2 weeks, which is not common for me. I'm learning to form my own opinions on pipe tobacco and am unashamed to say, this is my favorite Virginia based mixture and would be happy to have this as a top 5 in my yearly rotation....Read More
