Peterson Special Cut (Formerly Nutty Cut) Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin

The Nurnberg brothers Friedrich and Heinrich Kapp, whose elegant Dublin tobacconist first opened for business in 1865 on Grafton Street, Dublin could scarcely have dreamt that they would participate in the birth of a legend.

Friedrich & Heinrich, who christened their shop simply 'Kapp Brothers', soon made a name for themselves making and selling quality Meerschaum and Briar Root pipes. It was not long before Charles Peterson, walked into Kapp Brothers Grafton Street premises armed with a revolutionary pipe and ambitious plans for the future.

There and then, Peterson suggested that the brothers go into partnership with him to turn his pipe dream into the world's dream pipe. They agreed and the company was renamed Kapp & Peterson. Kapp and Peterson went on to become Dublin's most fashionable and respected manufacturer and purveyor of fine smoking products. Pipe and cigar smokers would stroll down to the elegant premises for professional advice on the subtle nuances that determine a good handmade cigar or pipe. The Peterson brand was embraced by politicians, business leaders, sportsmen, artists and writers.

The skills and craft which Charles Peterson applied to his original invention are continued by the dedicated team of craftsmen at Peterson today. Whether as a gift for a friend or for your own personal use, you will appreciate the excellence of the Peterson range of cigars, tobaccos, pipes and smoking accessories.

Peterson's Special Cut is a medium sweet blend of golden, red and dark Virginias, Burley and Black Cavendish that incorporates flavourings of subtle coconut, creamy macadamias and a shot of mellow rum.

If you're new to aromatic tobaccos or have had a bad experience with them, don't be afraid to give Special Cut a try as it's quite a rewarding smoke.

It's a relaxing, steady flavour that reminds of Hawaii, with a hint of spice.

The colouring of the ribbon cut varies from golden browns to mid browns with flecks of deep black. It packs well into the bowl and smokes with ease.
