Peterson Elizabethan Mixture is ribbon cut Virginia and Perique, masterfully blended to a perfect ratio. It's easy to prepare for smoking due to the ribbon cut and gives the smoker who may not be used to Perique a good introduction. Of course there's plenty here for the seasoned Perique lover too, with the bowl changing as you progress, becoming richer and deeper, with a little more pepper to end on.
Virginias give the blend it's light hay, citrus, grassy flavour as well as some earthiness and Perique gives a tangy sensation with raisin, fig and plum. This is a classic favourite of many and a benchmark for which other Virginia/Perique tobaccos are rated against.
