Peterson Sherlock Holmes Pipe Tobacco – 50g Tin

Available at Buster Cigars | Trusted UK Online Tobacconist

Peterson Sherlock Holmes is a distinguished and timeless blend from Peterson of Dublin, inspired by classic 19th-century tobacco traditions. Smooth, balanced, and naturally flavourful, this mixture is crafted for pipe smokers who appreciate refined simplicity over heavy casing.

With roots stretching back to 1865 on Dublin’s Grafton Street, Peterson has long been associated with quality craftsmanship and traditional pipe-smoking heritage. The Sherlock Holmes blend continues that legacy with a composition that highlights natural tobacco character.

The Blend

Sherlock Holmes is built upon a foundation of premium:

• Orange Virginia

• Red Virginia

• Mysore Indian Virginia

• Brazilian Burley

Despite a subtle spiciness on the palate, there are no Oriental tobaccos present. Instead, the nuanced character comes from the careful combination of Virginias and Burley, with minimal casing applied to preserve the tobacco’s natural qualities.

The ribbon cut, composed of short, manageable strands, makes for easy packing and an even burn. The leaf displays attractive tones of chestnut, golden brown, and deeper sepia shades.

Smoking Experience

From first light, the Virginias take centre stage, offering sweet, slightly citrus and grassy notes. The Brazilian Burley adds a gentle nuttiness, providing depth and structure without overpowering the blend.

The smoke is steady and reliable, rarely requiring relights, and burns cleanly to a fine ash. The tin aroma carries hints of mild fruit — apricot and citrus — which subtly carry through into the smoke.

Medium to full in strength yet balanced in character, this is an easy-going blend suited to both experienced pipe smokers and those seeking a traditional Virginia-led mixture.
