Not counting the Dunhill handover, Old Dublin.
Favorite Peterson Blends
- Thread starter Hutch Piper
- Start date
1) EMP
2) Flake
3) Sherlock Holmes
Have not tried MM965 or DNR, but I've got them both in the cellar sheerly out of principle. I would imagine DNR would at least bump SH off the list, but I cannot see EMP getting dethroned. That stuff is freaking delicious.

I'll put in another vote for Old Dublin, I have been enjoying it quite a bit lately.
Irish Flake is a particularly good one for me. University Flake as well. 965 is a good one. Maybe Elizabethian for the cellar.
Standard Mixture & Elizabethan would have to be my favorites from them.
Came here to give some love to standard mixture too. It’s underrated for sure.
Also flake is an amazing straight Virginia
1-Nightcap
2-Old Dublin (underrated, pretty sure it’s the same as 965 but cheaper, same components same makers, but haven’t smoked both together)
3-Flake, I like it, but I’d prefer stock up on Orlik or SG Flakes
4-Gold, outstanding Vanilla aromatic, but unfortunately it’s been discontinued, of course. De Luxe Mixture is a good aro too, but too low in nic for my tastes, I avoid low nic these days

The only current production I like enough to buy is 3P.
The old version of Sherlock Holmes blend was a fantastic Virginia ribbon blend. Whenever I see a tin of it it's an automatic purchase.
They really screwed it up in the last 7-8 years though.

Same here. They are about the only two Petersons I regularly smoke…like them both dearly, but need something more cost effective for “day to day” smokes.
Flake and DLNR are deeply cellared blends for me.
Aside those two, I'd recommend 965 if you're more of a mild/medium English smoker, along with Hyde Park. Whenever I just feel like a smoke without being particular, Hyde Park in a cob hits the spot.

Oh yeah the Peterson stuff is a treat but for day to day it's typically C&D bulks and Codger Blends for me. Typically sprinkle some dark burley into the codgers to kick'em up a notch.
Hyde park which practically is very same as the G&H Co Rum flake, but do STG still produce HydePark or was it made by G&H co?
Every single one.
I haven't had one that truly disappointed yet, but Standard was the least impressive.
But I'm fortunate enough to never have been exposed to the originals, so I'm not spoiled like that.
Ignorance being bliss, and all that, I therefore have enjoyed them all.

I've been enjoying Nightcap lately. Although, I really consider that to be a Dunhill blend. Really need to try EMP and 965.
