Peterson Old Dublin – a balanced English blend

Peterson Old Dublin is a traditional English blend designed to provide a classic flavor profile. The blend consists of four distinct types of tobacco: Cypriot Latakia, golden Virginia, and sweet Greek Orientals, complemented by a pinch of Black Cavendish. The inclusion of specific Oriental varieties known as Basma contributes to the exotic character of the tobacco. Peterson Old Dublin adheres to the principles of classic pipe tobacco production by the Peterson brand, which has deep roots in Dublin dating back to 1865.

The cut of Old Dublin tobacco is Ribbon or Loose Cut, allowing for easy packing into pipes of various shapes and ensuring an even burn. The characteristic flavor of the tobacco is attributed to Cypriot Latakia, which provides a smoky aroma. The smokiness of Latakia is beautifully balanced by the natural sweetness of Virginia tobaccos and the subtle, earthy tones of the Orientals. A pinch of sweetened Black Cavendish adds body to the blend and ensures a deliciously smooth and balanced smoke.

Peterson Old Dublin is generally regarded as a balanced blend with medium strength, making it suitable for both experienced smokers of English blends and those who are just discovering Latakia tobaccos.
