So I was traveling through Western New York and stopped off in Corning at a tobacco shop to see if anything caught my fancy. I grabbed a tin of the new/old Peterson Early Morning Pipe. I have to say, I really couldn't tell the difference between this and the Dunhill variety. I cracked the tin and it was exactly as I remembered it. I have had three bowls so far and I can't tell a difference at all. I'm impressed and looking forward to trying some different varieties. As a side note....$30 for a tin in NY is unacceptable. Online buying is the way to go.

Since it's made by the same folks , STG, it should be the same. The Peterson brand is just that, a re-branding. Peterson just makes pipes. Logically yes, you are correct, but it's nice to have it verified by actually tasting it. it's always good to check...for science. |

Peterson screwed up University and Irish Flake.
I’m glad they haven’t yet screwed up the Dunhill blends.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
