If/Then: Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls

[Eireprof]

Peterson’s De Luxe Navy Rolls is my favorite tobacco I’ve smoked thus far. Bread and figs. Simple, clean. I’d like to buy a bunch to have on hand and age. The price point is pretty high, though.

I know there probably isn’t a match/substitute, but any recommendations for something comparable, with those bready virginias and figgy Perique at a lower price point would be much appreciated. I get too much hay/grass from Escudo (still great, just not what I’m chasing to cellar).

Personally, as much as possible I would buy what you like. Watch for sales and stock up on stuff. Especially watch Nova bc they aren’t charging NY sales tax yet. That said, I’m sure others will chime in with some great options.

I would also recommend trying some with a few different ages to see how it will be in 5 years or 10. Some people are surprised that they actually prefer a blend fresher.

On Smoking Pipes, PDNR is $23.68 and DFM $15.89.

If PDNR is your jam, watch out for the Peterson sales on Smoking Pipes and Pipes and Cigars. 20% off a couple times each year.

I generally like almost every coin I have tried. But Davidoff Flake Medallions is great.

Peter Stokkebye Bullseye Flake, like Flake Medallion, has a Black Cavendish core. But it's still a good substitute, less expensive than Davidoff (thus, much less expensive than DLNR), and just a tad sweeter than Peterson.

Yep. I'm one. Don't get me wrong the old tins I have will be enjoyed but I think this stuff is best fresh. And also don't dry it out too much. I think there is some sugar/water solution they use to make this that gives it an extra sweetness compared to Escudo.
