Contents: Virginia, Oriental
Cut: Ribbon
Strength: Mild to medium
Flavoring: very mild
Taste: mild to medium
Recommendation: ***
The tin smells appetisant. After an half hour of airing the tobacco packs and lights well. It has a fruity light topping and the spicy sweet smoking is just enjoyable. It would fit to my tastes better if it could offer some more strength and natural flavor. I strongly recommend it especially for the beginners.

Peterson's Perfect Plug
Contents: Virginia, Burley
Cut: Plug
Strength: medium to strong
Flavoring: mild to medium
Taste: full
Recommendation: ****
The tin contains a block of hard pressed tobacco protected in a sealed plastic. I like the presentation. It looks like you can take it anywhere in your pocket. It won't dry easily and it will ocupy a small sart of your pocket :) It is dark brown, at a medium moisture degree and very hard.
I have the patience of a pipe smoker and a modeller so I didn't look at how much time it takes when preparing the bowl with this fine blend. I tried to cut flakes and smoked. I also tried to rub it as much as I could. In both versions it lights hard and it is not easy to keep it lit. The flake version is harder to smoke. But with patience and several matches this tobacco satisfied me.
It has a high nicotine dosage. I personally prefered medium sized bowls just for this reason. It offers a deep, tasteful Virginia-Burley smoke. The casing is fruity and smooth but not too sweet.
This blend isn't an anytime tobacco for me. It must be enjoyed after dinner once or twice a week. I hope it will be available also in ready rubbed version, I would like to give it a try.

Peterson - University Flake
Contents: Burley, Kentucky
Cut: Flake
Strength: strong
Flavoring: mild to medium
Taste: full
Recommendation: **
I would prefer a tobacco with much more refined smoke. This is too harsh for me. It is hard to be rubbed out and packed. Hard to keep lit. Not for the beginners. Instead of this, at almost the same price, there are many other pleasent Virginia mixtures to enjoy.

Peterson - Irish Whiskey
Contents: Virginia, Burley, Kentucky
Cut: Ribbon
Strength: medium
Flavoring: mild to medium
Taste: medium to full
Recommendation: **
Needs attention while smoking. With a slow and controlled puffing it may satisfy you and keep the nicotine kick at the limits. Has a steady and cool burning.
I personally will choose something different with less additional flavoring. This one is not for my taste.

Peterson - Irish Oak
Contents: Virginia, Cavendish, Burley, Perique
Cut: Ribbon
Strength: strong
Flavoring: extremely mild
Taste: extra full
Recommendation: *
With this tobacco: My flavor needs are not satisfied. Nicotine kicks. After the first half bowl the perique is overwhelming.
If you like the perique just in second roles like me, stay away from this blend.

First of all let me say that I've rated this full taste tobacco with 3 stars just because it is too strong for me. Otherwise I would rate this true pipe tobacco with 4 stars.
I aired the flakes and didn't rub them because the slower smoke is the better. On first puffs it hits with its strength but I can't stop myself to smoke it. It is delicious and full.
I know it sounds weird but after smoking the first quarter it seemed to me that it looses from strength and becomes much easier to smoke. The flavor is the stoved virginia, very nice. I can taste a little sweetness of it and it is fresh, too.
Not a daily smoke for me because of its nicotine overdose, bu I warmly recommend it for experienced smokers. The beginners would have tongue biting and keeping lit problems for sure.
