40 grams of luxury pipe tobacco in a pouch, described as a traditional English blend containing virginia, orientals and a generous amount of latakia.
I had to make a four hour drive, so I decided to grab something new from the local B&M to enjoy as i wizzed through Nashville NFL draft traffic. I had a trusty Pellerin pipe with me (made in Nashville) and loaded up a bowl.
Tin note was not overly impressive but the ribbon cut loaded easily and burned well throughout the smoke.
I am not sure why Peterson chose the name Wild Atlantic, but this blend is as far from "wild" as it gets. I was disappointed that all three components were subdued and none led the way to shine. Perhaps a better name would have been Chip and Dale's mix. No, you first, sir!
Flavor was simply not there and the mild nicotine made me wonder if this was targeted as an alternative all day OTC smoker. That said, I really tried hard to coax some familiar Virginia flavors out or get the lat and orientals to pop, but it was not to be.
In the end, it was simply 40 grams of meh.
