Peterson tins arrived! Popped one of these open - I’ll go ahead and give it a try tomorrow. Indications are good!
I love blackberries. Thanks for info.I wasn't a fan, and didn't sense much blueberry influence. Then again I'm not into detecting hard to find flavors all that much. So it may be there but too much effort to me. Recently had St Patricks Day by Peterson and the blackberry is very well done and obvious.
I feel like the flavor of this blend really showcases the concept with flakes of the so called marrying the flavors. The only flavor that stands out to me on it's own instead of as a unified whole would be the Indian leaf which has a touch of Sandalwood that should be familiar to anyone who has tried a lot of unscented Indian snuffs and also a buttery quality (which is a very Indian leaf thing). And those don't even stand out for any other reason then how rarely I get those notes in pipe tobacco.I was getting "tangy" as my impression and now reading some reviews on TR I see @JimInks adds a "citrus" note (along with a lot of other things I'm not sorting out so much, but interesting to see how others describe it) and I'd say for me, I'm getting more of that and a definite Virginia which is really nice and not noticing the rest so much. So no plum or blueberry for me, and not really getting the burley as much, but I enjoyed the 1/2 bowl I had time for this morning a lot, but that's as far I as got. I left it to dry overnight so my "fold and stuff" attempt vs. usual cube cut was more "fold, watch it break, drop in bowl" and worked fine once I got it going.
