I’ve had a tin of Peterson Deluxe Navy Roll for about a year. I just cracked it open this evening, and it is the first time I’ve tried this blend. I lean towards straight Virginias, and I must say that I really enjoy this blend. It’s easily in my top 5 favorite blends, maybe top 3. Thanks for the review.
Always a great description of what to look for as I start my journey with pipe smoking again, it's good to hear what tobacco should taste like? Gives me an idea of what i'm looking for in the blends.
Good Evening 😊 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and review on the blend 👏🏼 Awesome description👌🏽and seeing you smoke a pipe 🌬💨💨 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Good evening, im about 4 to 5 months into pipe smoke and picked up a few tin of Peterson De Luxe Navy Roll a top fie video i saw early one and itsthe blend that really developed myself pipe smoking pallet. Hands down my favorite blend out of what i and tried so far. I pick up Escudo to inorder to compare for my self and smoked a pipe of both with in hours of each other while I do find them very similar I agree Escudo is a touch heavy on the perique and I fine Peterson a touch more breadly. Anyway great video.
This is one of my go-to's. I find myself buying a few tins every monthy or two just to make sure I have enough to make it a regular in my piping routine. Certainly agree in that it's not one to be smoked back-to-back but at least once or twice daily IMHO.
Thx Wilson for smoking again in front of camera!😊👍 Honestly, it seemed really rediciulos to not to smoke a tobacco but talking in detail about it!🤦😅 Any way, this format seems much more familiar to most of us, smoking and talking about what you are experiencing at the same time taste wise or smoking quality wise and so on! Most probably most of us would appreciate you keep on doing reviews in this much familiar format man!🙏🙂
wilson thank you for the review even tho the tin was upsidedown lol. this escudo and luxury bullseye flake are the kings queens and dukes of va/per coins.
I’m newer to pipe tobacco, a year now I guess. I picked up a couple tins and opens one up. It’s just ok to me, I put it in a jar and will have another go of it in the spring.
Thanks for sharing. Personally I place Escudo Navy rolls in my top three favorite tobaccos and I've never tried Peterson as a result of thinking that it was more or less the same as Escudo, watching this video has made me rethink that and perhaps I'll give it a try.
I tried orlik on a recommendation but then i found rainer golden flake and it is basically orlik if it spent spent a year on roids and hitting the gym every day
Just had that come in today’s mail. Will try it soon. I’m at the point in my piping experience that all these different tobaccos and blends are becoming a bit overwhelming. I keep hearing of pipes for certain blends, but there isn’t really a chart to describe this. It seems to be purely up to the individual piper. I’m sure, with time, this will sort itself out.
I don't believe there is a topping. Compared to the current Escudo (and lately, many vapers) it has a much more pronounced perique plumminess. This may be a reason people suspect it is topped.
@@bencarter7839 It's close, that's for sure. Since it's my main smoke and I've smoked hundreds of tins of it in my life, I can certainly tell the difference. I get a slight apricot flavor with the DNR. Keep in mind since I have so much in my cellar, I'm always on a 5 to 10 year old tin. The age does make a difference. I'm sure people will say I'm nuts.
Peter Stokkebye 4th generation evening flake is a good VaPer, also Peter Stokkeby delux navy flake is good just a tad stronger than evening flake. They both come in bulk.
How does it compare to Escudo? I’ve smoked both, but would like to know what others think. Ok, you addressed it. Thanks. I think they’re close, but also depends on age of the tins as both age superbly!
When is the last time you smoked escudo? I have a few tins of escudo in the cellar, and got some new recently. Recipe has waaaay less perique now. Maybe my taste buds aren't as sensitive as they were back when I first tried it lol but I'd say if you want a Virginia Perique and the price tag isn't prohibitive, get the Peterson navy rolls. They're way probably what you remember escudo being. Not that escudo is bad, it just has changed. As a less expensive alternative, Sutliff has Va. Perique in a crumble kake that is very similar to me to what escudo once was and what Peterson DNR taste like now.
This was one of the first blends i ever tried. Have you taken muttonchops advice and tried the crush and stuff? It changed how this blend smoked so much.
Doesn't mean much. Traditionally, tobacco that was rolled and/or pressed to make it easier to carry onboard was thought of as Navy. They also added Rum or Molasses to many blends. Sometimes Rolls (coins) are referred to as Navy blends, but so are blends with those additions. It's a very loose term.
Hahaha, $12 a tin too expensive, you'd have an aneurysm in Canada. The cheapest you can get a 50g pouch of Captain Black is about $35. More boutique blends? Think like $50-$70 per tin.
Good stuff but pricey. I find that I prefer coins that have some dark fired as well. 4th generation night slices are a new favorite as well as Savinelli doblone d oro. Great stuff if you haven't tried them. edit: Stokkebye 4th generation

One of my favorite blends!! Always gives me a hardy sailor/pirate vibe after smoking it lol

Lol I caught that in my editing but figured I'd leave it in without comment for fun. And I definitely agree with you.

Have you ever tried Orlik Golden Sliced?
Orlik is one of my favorites.
I tried orlik on a recommendation but then i found rainer golden flake and it is basically orlik if it spent spent a year on roids and hitting the gym every day
Never had this one, may have to try it

Don't worry man, it's all part of the journey. You'll figure it out, happy smokes!
Looking forward to new to tobacco reviews
What do you mean by "contrary to UA-cam's recommendations"? Do they flag your video as age restricted if it shows you smoking?
Yes that's what they do
This one was the first “ah ha!” blend I ever tried.
I was just smelling it! For me the perique smells of leafy material that is halfway to being oil. It adds an interesting vibe to the smell of tobacco.
Well, time to stop what I’m doing to watch the new upload 😂
New to the pip what’s a good pip besides the one that was given to me , and what’s a good every day tobacco ?
I don't believe there is a topping. Compared to the current Escudo (and lately, many vapers) it has a much more pronounced perique plumminess. This may be a reason people suspect it is topped.
Correct.
Some people state that this is indistinguishable from Escudo.
@@bencarter7839 It's close, that's for sure. Since it's my main smoke and I've smoked hundreds of tins of it in my life, I can certainly tell the difference.

@@bencarter7839I’m one of those people
What are some of the other (cheaper) Virginia/periques that you recommend??
Peter Stokkebye luxury bullseye flake is similar to this blend yet cheaper
Peter Stokkebye 4th generation evening flake is a good VaPer, also Peter Stokkeby delux navy flake is good just a tad stronger than evening flake. They both come in bulk.
Thank you !!!

@@AdamStJamesStJames I have about 7 tins of each in my cellar. About 2 years old now. I enjoy both.
One of the best blends out there. It’s pricey but it worth gettin* a tin to try yourself.
is it very different from orlik or davidoff medaillons?
Handicraft navy rolls and vergnia from Brazil 🇧🇷 👌
Worth it
one of my daily smokes.
Can’t bring myself to try it, because I’ll go broke if I love it😂
It’s that sticker price; that’s what has kept me from throwing it in the cart. But after this review I believe it’s time to buy the tin and jump in!
Yep, I was right there with you. But it's definitely one worth trying at least once
@@TheSpurgeonPiper Will do...it's just hard spending that Escudo money on something else - which is staple in my routine. 😄
This was one of the first blends i ever tried. Have you taken muttonchops advice and tried the crush and stuff? It changed how this blend smoked so much.
I for one don't enjoy the crush and stuff at all,, it creates air pockets and reduces density and for me that thins out the smoke too much..
A random question, I see a lot of navy references on pipe tobacco, what does that indicate? A Virginia blend?

Holy cow 😵💫
I’m in the UK and am going to say the same. A tin here is £20 the equivalent of $26!
Mmmmmm looks good haha.

Love Dd’O along with Rattray’s HoTW and 3 Nuns
I couldn't get into the after taste of this blend. Especially not for the price.
