Peterson Sunset Breeze Pipe Tobacco 050g (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 Sunset Breeze is a mild sweet amaretto aromatic blend that incorporates Black Cavendish, Burley and Virginia tobaccos.

You can taste the individual leaves in this blend and they work harmoniously with the casing.

The Virginias and Black Cavendish give their natural sweetness to support the almond flavour. The Black Cavendish adds a mild fermented tone and the Burley's natural nuttiness embraces the amaretto.

Together, it is a well-rounded and perfectly balanced smoke that would make a fabulous evening starter.

 The ribbon cut is golden brown to darker shades, with black strands coiling in and out.

It's an easy packer and stays lit well giving a very pleasant room note of ripe almonds.

The tin aroma is sweet, almond in nature and enticing.
