On my second or third bowl of Old Dublin, I was a true convert to pipe tobacco. The tobacco is wonderfully smoky, savory and sweet; it has an agreeable richness and balance that I have really grown to enjoy.

Hi there,

I’ve been a pipe smoker for a year and a bit now, and must say that I find both Peterson pipes and their tobacco incredibly enjoyable, Old Dublin in particular.
I enjoy the latakia, but I like that it doesn’t dominate the entire tobacco.

Thanks for a great site.

I have not tried this blend yet. But it goes to show that even though you may like a lot of blends from a particular manufacturer, there will still be some blends from the same manufacturer that you simply will not like.

Hi
I’m a new pipe smoker, and having started off on aromatics, I moved onto this one. The change in taste is vast, as is the strength – which perhaps is a little bit too much for me. I havent touched it since I smoked the first couple of bowls, because to tell the truth it scared me a bit! (although I have blended it with some aromatics). However, now I am several months into my pipe foray, I’ll take it out again.

If you are new to Petersons – try the connoisseurs choice – its my current favourite.

Hi,
I’ve been smoking pipe for many years now but I never came across Peterson tobaccos until about 8 months ago. I promptly bought a tin of each blend that my tobacconist had in stock. The Old Dublin soon became a firm favourite; it is on the expensive side but I consider it money well spent.

A little off-topic, but I’d like to mention that I find the Peterson range very agreeable in general. My other favourite is University Flake (nice video review of this BTW).

As I’m typing this comment I am busy smoking my first bowl of 2009 Special Reserve in my new Peterson Limited Edition Ebony – it doesn’t get any better than this.

Happy smoking!

As a quite new pipesmoker this was about the fourth brand of tobacco I have tasted. So far this is my favourite. As my tin is almost empty I will have to buy another one. Great buy if you ask me. It cost me about $22 for a tin here in sweden.

Smoking it as I type. Very nice. Getting better as the Cost me ~$11 & change USD. That maybe steep compared to other tobaccos, but as a cigar smoker I have to say that’s a great deal given how many smokes a 50g tin can provide.

Hi from Down Under,
Well after reading this review, I had to just nick down town and grab a can. At $40 fo 50gm that a big leap of faith! Well I go home and lit up that bad boy, and thought, okay, nothing to blog home about. I’m now half way through the can, and I must say it really grows on you. The flavor is complex wihout any one of the tobaccos out doing the others. Now I am merrily puffin’ away on it during the day.
Goes well with a single malt!
Give it a really good try… I betcha get hooked.
