Peterson Old Dublin Pipe Tobacco – 50g tin

Peterson Old Dublin Pipe Tobacco – 50g Tin is a stylish classic for anyone who loves the character of a genuine English Mixture: smoky, spicy and yet well-balanced – with no artificial flavourings. This blend is aimed at connoisseurs who wish to experience tobacco ‘in its purest form’, whilst still valuing harmony: the Latakia provides the typical, cool smokiness, Virginias bring a subtle natural sweetness, and Greek Oriental tobaccos contribute an elegant spiciness. The whole is rounded off by a small proportion of sweetened Black Cavendish, which gives the blend body and makes the smoke pleasantly smooth. In its 50g tin, Old Dublin stays fresh for a long time, making it perfect for regular, relaxed moments with your pipe – from a quiet evening after work to a cosy get-together with like-minded friends.

English-style enjoyment: balanced rather than a ‘smoke bomb’

Old Dublin is often described as ‘supremely balanced’: despite the significant proportion of Latakia, the blend does not come across as coarse or overpowering, but rather as cleanly composed. Upon lighting, the cool, woody-smoky Latakia note (Cyprus Latakia) is the first to emerge, after which the flavour profile opens up: light Virginia sweetness, a slightly bready depth, accompanied by the typical piquant-sweet, slightly herbaceous Oriental notes (from Greece, sometimes referred to as Basma grades). The small proportion of Cavendish ensures that the smoke feels creamier and the spice remains elegantly integrated. The cut is ribbon cut – this makes the tobacco easy to pack and ensures it burns evenly and reliably when smoked at a steady pace. Many pipe smokers allow it to ‘breathe’ briefly before packing to perfect the moisture content and achieve an even smoother burn.
