Elizabethan Mixture my number 1 tobacco. Light fresh easy going smoke. Grassy hay, fruity and tangy to my patate. I drift in and out of other blends but always have a tin of EM at hand.

I think I was overly influenced by the tasting notes and reviews. Its a nice smoke but the flavours and aroma are not what I was hoping for. That said it is a small delight, its mellow and mild, no sign of bite or harshness its pleasantly sweet but not too sweet with interesting and quite lovely flavours but not as described (to my pallet) . I have enjoyed it but it lacks something, it could do with a little more punch but excellent for new pipe smokers.
I score it 4 stars in comparison I give Elizabethan Mixture 5 plus and My Mixture 3 plus

One of my top 5, probably the strongest cigar available in the UK, strong but full of different flavours, leather, dark expresso notes, spices and pepper. Blended with tobaccos aged between 5 and 10 years. For a smoother experience cut the cigar at an angle. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador

Smaller version of the Maduro, more fruity and dry oak notes. Perfect construction blended with tobaccos that have been aged for at least 3 years. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador

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.
