This is an excellent aromatic tobacco in the European style. Not dominated by black cavendish, but a nice mixture of different tobaccos with a distinct fruity/spicey topping. Similar in style to the Larsen tobaccos and probably made by the same peo... Read Moreple. High quality for those who like aromatics. Read Less

I have never been a big Virginia fan, as they tend to burn hot. Along with that the flavor of burley drives me crazy. Starts to taste like burned yarn by the end of the bowl. Oddly tho, in this blend, the flavors just work together rather nicely. ... Read MoreThe sweetness of the Va, really does come thru, this has become my evening pipe almost every evening in the last month. I have bought several tins of this, and am about to finish my 2nd tin. I just bought 2 more tins today. I must confess, it will be a sad day when this is no longer available. Read Less

The name Special Reserve is apt. This is the best aromatic I have tried. The cut is varied, large, and chunky. This speaks of high quality leaf and a slow burn. That is a very good start. The tin aroma is very mild. Not like so many sugar confection... Read More tobaccos that sound like flavoured latte's, this is first and foremost tobacco. Its smells lightly of burned sugar and anise, with a little fermented sweetness. Its perfect moisture right out of the packaging means it good to smoke right away. The charring light was of sweet toast and simple tobacco. As it gets going there is a velvety buttery quality to the smoke. Mildly sweet, the flavours are both subtle and pleasant. The toasty flavours I believe come from the burly used, with the mild sweet virginias. As it progresses there is a slight smokey pepperiness from the cavendish used, that fills the smoke out more. There is no real change in the flavour as it progressed. It burned like a dream, even, and never hot. There was not even a hint of bite, and as long as its sipped, the flavour of the tobacco was never hidden beneath the casings. This was a real pleasure to smoke, and is one of the finest aros from Peterson I have had the pleasure in my pipe. For the most part I am a lover of full english/balkan/oriental style blends, but it is always nice to change up whats going on.
Its far less cased than last years, which was a pleasing blend in its own right. However this 150th year blend shares more in common with old european style aromatics than many modern blends. Very worthwhile and very enjoyable. The room note carries whisps of vanilla and baked bread. Burned to a fine white ash and not a drop of goo was had in the pipe.
(Mind you, it was smoked in a system pipe, so that also aids in the moisture prevention)
I heartily recommend. Read Less
