Not what I expected. Tastes lie nothing compared to Morning Pipe. Live and learn.
Average VaBur

Once you open a tin and have your fist bowl what you notice immediately is rather pleasant plum taste which integrates well with tobacco. During the smoke plum taste slowly disappears leaving instead sweet fruitlike taste which stays present throughout the bowl. Now the bad news. If after opening tin plum taste lasts from third to half of the bowl then closer to the end of the tin it disappear after several puffs. Sweet fruitlike taste remains all the time though. Tobacco is classical VaBur with rather good Virginias. But instead of synergy of Virginias and Burleys it is more of dominance fight with infrequent moments of typical Burley harshness breaking through. Toppings instead of simply adding sweetness behave almost as the third component diminishing Virginias which is not to my liking at all. The blend tasted best in medium and medium to large apple or pot shaped pipes. I did not notice any difference in taste between briar and meerschaum pipes. Altogether it is rather decent VaBur. It is definitely smokable. But in all honesty I prefer somewhat sweet and nutty taste of Irish Flake despite all its strength....Read More
Delicious to the bottom of the bowl

I’m a new pipe smoker, and have tried some good staples of the tobacco free genres. But the faint plumb topping just rounds this out to be the most pleasing smoke I’ve had yet. Burns well for this newbie, and the tobacco flavor is pleasant for the entire bowl. The faint topping only balances in the fragrance but the tobacco is what is primarily tasted in a really pleasing way. Highly recommend....Read More

The flavor is good on this but I had a hell of a time getting it to light and stay lit. I had to unpack the bowl and let it dry first and then it ran fine. Good smoke, but there's so many options out there I don't know if this one was worth the effort.

Here we have a Virginia and Burley blend, with very little umph. A berry topping is added to try and make up for the lack of flavor. I do however enjoy boosting this up a notch with HH Old Dark Fired.

I have smoked this many years ago and I'm sorry to have waited so long! A fine smoke with a muted Rum Flake taste. A berry taste just floating above burley and virginia. It does not nic hit but I do smoke some heavy hitters . Perfect for an August afternoon. One year of age on the tin. Very nice....Read More

I really like PUF a lot. It is my every morning coffee smoke. There is no tongue bite and the full flavor with just the slightest hit of deep dried fruit just hits the spot.
awesome!

Tin note of tangy berries, spices and sugar. Tobacco is a flake of color. Moisture content is great, flakes rub out easily. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of plum that showed more during char and first 1/4 but went away after. Also there is a berry note in the background. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of plum, spices, sugar, spicy, bread, dry, wood, nutty, floral, earthy, molasses, buttery, cocoa, mildly bitter, tart and tangy stewed fruit, mildly acidic, mildly savory, grassy, a mild berries and citrus background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Burley and Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

The only Peterson Blend that I like, but it is one of my favorite blends. I currently am smoking a 5 year old tin, and while this needs no aging, the aged blend is soft, full and with medium strength. One of the few blends I have collected over the years. It is dark flake, with a slight essence which is very subtle to unnoticeable. It must be dried, of course, before smoking....Read More
