Mac Baren - Mixture Scottish Blend 3.5oz
This is in no way “broken flake”- it’s ribbon
Just received my first tin of this and right off the bat I’m disappointed that it’s misrepresented. It is NOT “broken flake”, it’s ribbon cut. If I had known this I wouldn’t have bought it. Very disappointed. Only NOW I’m reading the other reviews complaining about its presentation. Also, on the tin it describes it as a mixture of “35 tobacco leaves from different continents of the world.” The description makes no attempt to try to state any percentage of types or dominance of tobaccos. It’s a mixture alright- to me, that means a mix of floor sweepings- how could it not be? It bites and smokes hot right out of the tin, and sold in a volume tin. It’s obviously a bastard “blend”, and misrepresented at that. I’ll give it a couple more evenings, but it’s probably headed for the trash.

Peterson - Old Dublin 50g
Strong for a newcomer
Trying to get introduced to new tobaccos- this is stronger tan I’m used to it getting along. I am beginning t taste different notes, and I can distinguish the Virginas in this but not everything yet. It’s good!

Peterson - Early Morning Pipe 50g
Very nice!
This is my favorite between Peterson and University Flakes and Nightcap, which is as far as I have made it trough the Peterson line.

Peterson - Nightcap 50g
Good, but a little strong for a night cap!
I like this, but not as much as Morning Pipe, but way better tan University or Peterson Flake.

Peterson - University Flake 50g
Unimpressed (Edit- now impressed!)
Wow! What a difference a couple weeks crumbled up makes! It’s like an entirely different smoke. I’m a newbie and trying my palette with a few tins of different things. At first this had no flavor, but it is entirely different now! (Old- Not what I expected. Tastes lie nothing compared to Morning Pipe. Live and learn.)

Peterson - Flake 50g
Seems very Blasé
For a “expert blend”, not much flavor or room note at all. I wanted to try a flake by it seems bothersome. I am not getting this blend at all as compared to Morning Pipe. Really seems like a waste of money.
