Back in late 2017, Dunhill announced they would cease producing their famous and much loved pipe tobacco range, which left many devoted fans with a heavy heart. Two years on, Peterson have boldly taken the torch and relit the fire without altering the recipes, to bring back some old friends.

Peterson Elizabethan Mixture

Peterson Elizabethan Mixture is ribbon cut Virginia and Perique, masterfully blended to a perfect ratio. It’s easy to prepare for smoking due to the ribbon cut and gives the smoker who may not be used to Perique a good introduction. Of course there’s plenty here for the seasoned Perique lover too, with the bowl changing as you progress, becoming richer and deeper, with a little more pepper to end on.

Virginias give the blend it’s light hay, citrus, grassy flavour as well as some earthiness and Perique gives a tangy sensation with raisin, fig and plum. This is a classic favourite of many and a benchmark for which other Virginia/Perique tobaccos are rated against.
