Serving as Peterson’s flagship Heavy Aromatic blend, Connoisseur's Choice is specifically formulated for pipe smokers who appreciate decadent, dessert-inspired flavours and a universally pleasant room note.

Tin Note: Lush, sweet, and welcoming, offering pronounced aromas of vanilla, dark rum, maple syrup, and dried fruit.

In the Bowl:

• Sweetness: Characterised from light to heel by creamy vanilla, rich maple, and warm rum nuances.

• Tobacco Base: Black Cavendish ensures a cool, velvety smoke, supported by Virginias and Burleys that contribute subtle toasted nuttiness and structure so the blend maintains a satisfying body.

• Smoking Mechanics: Due to its generous casing, the tobacco presents slightly moist straight from the tin. Allowing 15–20 minutes of air-drying prior to packing—paired with a slow, measured cadence—helps prevent tongue bite and eliminates moisture build-up in the bowl.

• Room Note: 1.5 / 5 (Exceptional Crowd-Pleaser — imparts a warm, inviting aroma of vanilla and freshly baked pastries that is widely appreciated even by non-smokers).
