Good sweet nic hit
August 18, 2020
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
It always amazes me when people review a blatantly aromatic tobacco and give it a low rating because they don’t like aromatics. This is an aromatic! And it’s a very good one at that. It is sweet, it smells wonderful, and if smoked correctly it doesn’... Read More
t bite or burn overly hot. It’s not goopy, and burns to nice white ash. This does seem to be fairly strong in the nicotine department, especially for an aromatic. I’ve never had it ghost a briar or a cob. However, I use a pipe sweetener/ cleaner on a pipe cleaner after I smoke anything. If you want a nice sweet aromatic and want to still savor the flavor of the tobacco( which is high quality) I would recommend this blend. Read Less
Love Peterson Blends

Great blend. If your not getting the full flavor cellar it for a while and try it after a few years. The flavors really come out.
Delicious Burley Aromatic

It’s perfect. Prepare well, rub out to a fine grain. Pack lightly into a tall, narrow bowl. Sip slowly. It’s divine.

And as for english blends I had many, but for aromatics, it was this one, no competition. A really great aromatic.. smooth... Read More

Caramel Frappuccino for your pipe
October 13, 2020
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
If you’re craving a sweet smoke on the back of quality tobacco, this has potential. It is a full body smoke despite its sweet flavor. The casing is not overdone from the perspective of being wet or goopy. It burns well. Those around you who may be av... Read More

Sweet Caramel Dreams!
August 20, 2020
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
This is one of my favorite aromatics. I love the smell and flavor of Caramel. The blend of tobacco is wonderful and smokes well.
This is the one

Great room note. everyone asks what flavor candle is burning and as far as taste goes think sweet cream latte and tabacco. No crappy vanilla taste. Turns the wife on, yup It's a total package
OH My Sweet Killarney
January 19, 2016
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
I am a fan of both Aromatics and English blends. This quaint little tobacco opens up with wonderful tin notes of Carmel and sweetness from dates or raisins. It is usually a tad to moist from the tin and should be plated in open air for about 20 minut... Read More
es to dry prior to smoking. Packs well into bowl and upon lighting one finds a sweet roll across the tongue, hints of Carmel and vanilla. Limited bite unless one smokes it to fast, the midway point of the bowl is really the treasure of this blend. Room notes are mild sweet. A find tobacco for a daily rest with pipe and drink. Read Less

Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
I enjoy this with my coffee. caramel vanilla and toasted coconut are what I taste. very pleasant smoke to sip on. great right out of the tin. burns very well and flavor carries till the end.
Delicious Caramel!
December 23, 2021
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
This is one of those few tobaccos that tastes exactly same as it smells. I believe this is the best Caramel flavor tobacco out inthe market. It's truly delicious, smooth and soothing. Very well done!
Caramel ?
October 08, 2021
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
I'm not getting the Caramel that everyone is talking about, just taste like soap and perfume to me.
Great aromatic!

Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
Read a lot of these reviews and don’t agree with the bad ones. If you like aromatics, I think this is one of the best! Great caramel or almost butter scotch-ish flavor. Had no tongue bite issue at all, and moisture content was just fine, I re lit i... Read More

Smells good in the tin, but the flavor is lost when I smoke it.
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
Tin note of caramel, sugar and vegetation. Tobacco is a coarse cut and broken flake of brown, dark brown, tan and a little black. Moisture content is on the high side, many may want to dry it a bit. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is m... Read More
ild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of Cream caramel, it drops to the background withing the first 1/4, then very faint by the 1/2-way point. Taste is mild to medium and somewhat consistent, with notes of tart and tangy savory, very nutty, acidic/spicy, floral, dry hay, creamy, wood, earth, fermented vinegary, toast, orange peel/zest a mildly bitter vegetation background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia Burley is leading with Maryland Black Cavendish and Virginia Flake supporting. Flavoring starts out a strong supporter, the abandons the effort at the halfway mark. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is ok. Read Less
Wife Approved
January 28, 2023
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
Sweet Killarney has a very noticeable fruity, caramel flavor when dipped slowly. Distinguishing between the flavors really hit in the retrohale. Burns a bit hot, though I did not age nor dry my tobacco upon smoking right after opening the tin seal. T... Read More
he room note is wife approved- and not much gets wife approved, therefore, it’s a 5 star tobacco! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t say sweet Killarney without trying their best Irish accent. Read Less
Solid Pete Aromatic English
July 13, 2021
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
Traditional English blend of two different types of ribbon-cut Virginia's and slowly-steamed Black Cavendish. Light to Medium Casing in Toffee/Caramel Cream flavor lends a soft, pleasant and engaging room note. Smokes cool and relatively slowly for a... Read More
n Aromatic Blend with light to moderate moisture, though I've always smoked it through a System Pipe, so that might partially account for how well it behaves in the briar.
Provides an excellent entree to the Peterson line or anyone just getting started with their Pipe. Aromatic & English Blend enthusiasts will recognize this as an easy potential breakfast or all-day smoke. Read Less

Caramel and butter

Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
A very caramel and buttery sweet aromatic. Pretty one dimensional but I enjoyed it.
Sweet but Irritating
December 29, 2020
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
Caramel sweetness, intense in the box and reduces to almost 30% during smoke. Fragrant as Caramel with undertone of coconut. Mild in strength. Irritating, on tongue, comprehensive with effort.
For the sweet tooth only

Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
A very nice caramel / coconut tin note, but a weird chemical taste. Too much casing (?). Only if you are a true aromatic aficionado, but it can bites if you are not careful
Nice almond joy tin note
March 07, 2020
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
I get a nice almond joy tin note on this one. Its a nice chocolate and coconut smell on this one. It does come through in the smoke but maybe not as much as i would hope for. Its a good smooth smoke that can give some tounge bite if smoked to fast.
Not All That Sweet But Has A Fairly Good Aroma
May 26, 2019
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
First sampled in 2009. I've since started the pipe hobby again. I found this blend to be similar to Solani 131 Red Label in tin aroma & similar in taste, strength, etc., but not a total clone. This will bite like wildfire if one isn't careful to ... Read More
take slow, small sips while indulging. Not overly searing to the palate in that respect for an aromatic & does provide a slight sweet flavor.
One would expect more sweetness from the name & tin note. It leaves no goopy dottle in the bowl but it will leave a ghost in there for the next couple of rounds. I don't smoke many aromatics these days & this review is based only on the merits of an aromatic blend. It didn't propel me into purchasing another tin but it isn't totally awful. Could use a bit of "refinement." Read Less
Sweet and Decent
June 04, 2018
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
Sweet Killarney is a nice, middle of the road tobacco. It isn't great, but it isn't bad, it's good. For me, with all the tobacco to try out there, it's not good enough to buy another tin.
Got better 2nd time
March 28, 2018
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
On first smoke was sweet and tarts on the tongue. Definitely no caramel. Second smoke much better. Seemed fruity, no caramel.
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
The tin note is great. Really nice caramel aroma. But it doesnt really carry through well when smoking. Not too exciting. I would not get this again.
Middle of the road

Very mild. Very light cream note. Nothing special here. Not terrible, just dull.

An enjoyable aromatic that really didn't stand out that much.
Sweet killarney or Kill tongue?
November 07, 2015
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
Aside from the monochromatic scale of the caramel flavour there is nothing much to add.
Tobacco is good quality, good caramel smell on the tin.
But once lit the ordeal starts and a bitten tongue is kind of a high price to pay for just caramel case... Read More

Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
This was one of the first tobaccos I tried as a new pipe-smoker, and I have returned to it regularly in the intervening years.
Tin note is (in my opinion) the best there is, and I often open the tin just to enjoy the scent. The smoke is good, though... Read More
not exceptional.
The only real drawback for me is that I've never really found a way to avoid tongue bite with Sweet Killarney, which isn't an issue I often have. Read Less

I'm not a fan of aromatic pipe tobacco, but I tried it.
Tin note is very good,room note is OK. but I don't like this taste. easy burning but not smoke too fast cause it just burning hot! for me on the whole is OK.

Sorry but this i don't really like , and i am not a fan of Aromatic tobacco .
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
Not bad. Has a nice caramel aroma and a nice taste. Smokes pretty smooth too, but with a little tongue bite. Maybe I smoked it too fast...
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
This tobacco was a bit more harsh than I expected, but I still like it. I seem to get a pretty good nicotine hit from it too, which I don't really look for in the tobaccos I buy but this one seems to have it. I have experienced this blend burning a... Read More

it has a very nice tin note, Im not to sure about room not but its a decent blend that i use to mix things up a little
Product: Peterson Sweet Killarney 50g
If it were a little less sweet and the tobaccos were more out front of the flavoring this could be very good.
