Peterson pipe tobaccos are often more known for their more traditional, British style tobacco blends, such as University Flake and Irish Flake, even more so since they picked up the old Dunhill mixtures. However, they are equally talented when it comes to flavoured blends. Luxury Blend is a great example of this, with Orange Virginias, sweet Black Cavendish and Burley, topped with a vanilla and honey casing. Personally, I also detect a slight hint of citrus fruit. When smoked, it is subtly sweet, without being sickly. A very nice balance.

Partagas Series D No. 5 newbie review.
In pitch black I torched this one pretty poorly which resulted in a canoe in the burn. That said the burn corrected itself well right to the end with no touch ups. The ash was really good and the cigar held up well throughout.
1st 3rd - Peppery to start and a little strong at first. Earthy, herby, dried fruit a lot like hot mulled wine.
2nd 3rd - a hint more pepper mulled wine with a hint of zest stayed background.
Final 3rd - got a little more earthy and punchy but the mulled wine taste remained. A bit of tobacco and tingle on the tastebuds at the very end.
Throughout this was smooth and creamy that felt like the film feeling youd have on the roof of your mouth and tongue as if youd savored a good desert like a creme brulee.
Really enjoyed and as close to a 10/10 as Ive had in cigar so far. Glad I bought a 10 box, will definitely come back to this and tempted to now consider a trying the D4 now.

I was given this in September for my birthday and wow it works and has saved and made good some wonderful Cuban cigars, that would otherwise have had a bad draw be worse be unsmokable; instead they were what was intended: a lovely smoke, thanks to this now essential tool, that though only used occasionally... is a must have for every cigar enthusiast \addict.

Peterson De Luxe Mixture Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin
by Samarium
This bled burns nicely from the moment you open the tin and has a lovely aromatic vapour of sweet plumbs and honey I would highly recommend it and a session in Turmeaus Sample room as it really hightens the experience

A good cigar, I was slightly worried when I chose this cigar as it felt slightly dry and a touch loosely packed but I pressed on and was not disappointed. The pre light smell was of cocoa and a bit of farmyard, on lighting it was very peppery which worried me as I dont like too much pepper but again I soldierd on. The pepper faded after 5-8 minutes into dark chocolate which stayed until the end where caramel and cream faded in and out. The draw was good as was the burn with no correction needed. A lovely lovely cigar if you persevere with it. There are better cigars for the price but not many.

Prestige Salvador Humidor - 250 Cigar Capacity
by Roderick
Just received my new humidor and I must say that the photographs do not do it justice. The top veneer is deep, the opening of the lid is a smooth action with no hinge sticking. The internal trays and dividers are well made and fit snuggly, no ragged edges or splitting. The cedar interior is thick and the joints are neat. It must be said that the copious amount of bubble wrap used ensured that there were no dings or indentation to the humidor or its packaging, this was placed inside a larger cardboard box that took a bit of a beating during transit. Well done chaps. Very happy with my purchase.
