Peterson of Dublin is one of the most well-recognised makers of pipe and pipe tobaccos, and I must say, then little tin of tobacco was a bit like heaven. Just imagine for a moment: a mahogany-paneled room, fine stocks of brandy and single malt whiskeys in the sideboard and a generous amount in your Waterford tumbler; you're sitting in a red-leather chesterfield wing back chair, there's a crackling smoulder in the stone fireplace, and you're smoking a pipe. That is a fantasy of mine, and this is the tobacco for just that occasion.
The 'Old Dublin' is a blend of Latakia, Turkish Oriental and Virginia Leaf. What more can I say- the blend is pretty much perfect: It produces a medium-strength smoke, and although one can certainly taste the Latakia, it doesn't overpower in any way. There is very little tar buildup, but yet the smoke is not dry. The smoke is not sweet, but still flavoursome and elegant.
My only complaint is that it burns a bit quickly- and this may be a result of the pipe I am smoking it in, the way I pack the bowl, or that the shreds of tobacco are cut just a touch too thin. I'm undecided- really I need to try smoking it in an expensive Peterson pipe for the full experience.
A tin of 50 grams should cost you around £9.50. It's well worth it!
