Elizabethan Mixture

[JackofNone]

It's underwhelming. Where's the perique? I did not finish the tin I purchased without re-blending it myself. I'm just here to say it's a fine entry-level Virginia blend. Maybe the simplicity is something to be sought after. I would recommend it as a solid tobacco blend, but it is not the holy grail that I have heard it to be, nor does it offer a rich experience. Nothing that I have tried by Peterson (Dunhill) is terrible, but this would be my least favorite blend of theirs so far. I wish I could see the appeal, but I don't. Some positives are that it came to me in perfect moisture level, and the ribbony cut makes for an easy morning smoke if you're not quite awake yet.

Get a few oz of the bulk Sutliff Match Victorian, it’s much better (and cheaper).
Supposedly made to match the Murray era stuff, whereas the Peterson tin is, who knows?

Elizabethan is one of the original Dunhill blends I simply didn't care for.

Never heard it called that but it is a good one if smoked slowly. Escudo is even more bland so I'd avoid it if Elizabethan don't suit you.

There are so many good Vapers out there. Sit it aside and move on. On this side of the water HU makes some of the best Vapers Ive had. Save your tin and mix it with some other stuff or trade it away.

Yeah I'd second this. Especially if you wanted more perique. I've got a jar of Match Vic that I pop and it borderline smells like fish food it's so periquey.

Otherwise Elizabethan has always been a very light VaPer, good as an intro the blend type or if you're sensitive to perique. Similar to how Presbyterian is for English blends.

I keep hearing that but all I taste in that one is Latakia.

In edition to the “more periquey” aspect, the VA’s in the Sutliff Match blend have what I believe is a good content of their tangy/vinegary reds that go well with the “fish food”, kind of like how malt vinegar complements fish and chips.

I'm enjoying the Elizabethan post-home blending. A little Latakia goes a long way. I will have to look into those sutliff blends.

Malt vinegar on chips/fries/fritrs is soooo sooo good

I'm the same actually. It's just as Lat'y as any other English to me but a lot of people seem to think otherwise so I assume I'm just especially sensitive to it.
