Connoisseur’s Choice
Peterson Connoisseur’s Choice is an aromatic pipe tobacco blend with a distinctive Caribbean character. It features delightful notes of pineapple, coconut, and vanilla, complemented by bright citrus flavors and a subtle touch of fine rum. The blend combines Golden Virginia, Red Virginia, and Black Cavendish, presented in a mixture of ribbon cut and broken flake.
When smoked, it is clear that the blend has been flavored, but the toppings are exceptionally well integrated. They never taste artificial or overpower the natural character of the tobacco, resulting in a smooth and harmonious smoking experience.
Unlike some aromatic blends that overemphasize their alcohol flavoring, Connoisseur’s Choice achieves an excellent balance. This makes it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced pipe smokers, as well as for those who enjoy aromatic blends and even more traditional tobacco enthusiasts. There is something to appreciate here for almost every palate.
Upon opening the tin, you’ll be greeted by a gentle aroma of spices, tropical fruits, and a delicate hint of rum—fragrances that continue to accompany the smoke throughout the bowl. Looking closely at the blend, you’ll notice the broken flakes interwoven with the ribbon-cut tobacco. The rich golden, reddish-brown, and black hues resemble a fine chocolate dessert, which is fitting, as this blend is often considered an excellent after-dinner tobacco—a true “dessert smoke.”
Another of its appealing qualities is its pleasant room note, making it enjoyable not only for the smoker but also for those nearby.
