Back in late 2017, Dunhill announced they would cease producing their famous and much loved pipe tobacco range, which left many devoted fans with a heavy heart. Two years on, Peterson have boldly taken the torch and relit the fire without altering the recipes, to bring back some old friends.
Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls are premium coins of Virginia and Perique. The Virginias are from Africa and Brazil, hand-stripped, aged perfectly and give a sweet raisin quality to harmonise with the Louisiana Perique that has a deep, fruity, figgy-plummy flavour and mild peppery spice. The tin note of this treasure chest is like sweet and fruity bread. How you decide to prepare the coins for smoking is up to you but the universal rubbing out method gives great results. The resulting ribbon is easy to load and smoke.
Plentiful, rich, sweet and peppery smoke tingles the tongue and nostrils. As you continue smoking you can notice the flavours becoming richer, caramelised and deeper. This Virginia/Perique tobacco is highly recommended, it's a beautiful, tasty blend.
