Peterson Old Dublin

[OSOBUCO]

I'm only a year and a half into this but I just found my jar of Peterson Old Dublin in the back of way too many open jars and I lit it up in a Savinelli Prince. I remember enjoying it when I first opened the tin 8 months or so ago. I think the tin is from 2019-2020. Anyway, this is quite nice. VERY creamy in the mouth. It feels like I ate a piece of Wagyu beef and my mouth is coated with fat. The creamiest blend I have had thus far. I also get nice light latakia and a bit of baking spice (clove nutmeg) but what really hits me is the nuttiness. Like a mouthful of walnuts. Some earthiness and mushrooms as well. Maybe a bit of leather. Very little sweetness - this is definitely savory to me. I am liking this.

Good stuff. While I was looking for Dunhill NightCap, opened a tin of Peterson Old Dublin. Personally, I prefer Old Dublin over NightCap.

I feel guilty - I had a tin, and tried some and it’s the only tobacco yet tried that went straight to the bin, lol. The only other I can think of that put me off that much was Dunhill Apertif which I’ve held onto to try again (have a couple of aged tins in reserve but I fear for their safety).

Tastes are so different!

Indeed. It is a bit funky. Mushrooms and earth - reminds me of a funky Rioja or the barnyard on some Rhone wines but I like that .

I'm halfway through the bowl now and the mushroom seems to be intensifying and now more sweetness is coming out. Latakia is still the same and the spice is a bit muted maybe due to the sweetness. Nuttiness is still there.

One weird things as I go deeper I am getting a hint of asparagus! I love asparagus so it's cool with me but so unexpected!

OH and my wife hates the room note - LOL

When I tried it a year ago around this time, I quickly went through 2 tins and bought several to put back for later. It was around the same time I tried Nightcap as well. Both are good to me, both unique. Have more of both.

Spot on description. Very good blend. While I am not an English smoker, I enjoyed my time with it and highly recommend it

My wife hates that room note too. That's the only reason I still smoke it. I got tired of it a while back.

Another great English blend from Peterson-proper line is "Wild Atlantic". The mixture is rather scruffy but the taste is oh so good.

I am having a hard time trying to comprehend any Peterson product being better than NightCap.

Sounds delish. I love those funky barnyard French wines.
