Sherlock Holmes

Peterson Sherlock Holmes 50g Pipe Tobacco is a traditional Virginia-based mixture combining selected Orange, Red and Mysore Indian Virginias with a touch of Brazilian Burley. Based on an old recipe dating from the late 19th century, Sherlock Holmes is a mild-to-medium tobacco with natural Virginia sweetness, subtle nuttiness and a delicate fruity and citrus character.

The foundation of Peterson Sherlock Holmes Pipe Tobacco is its selection of high-quality Virginia tobaccos. Orange and Red Virginias are joined by distinctive Mysore Indian Virginia, creating a naturally sweet tobacco profile with grassy, gently fruity and citrus-like characteristics. Brazilian Burley provides additional body and a subtle nutty depth without overwhelming the Virginia at the heart of the mixture.

Sherlock Holmes carries only a light casing, allowing the natural characteristics of the tobacco to remain prominent. Subtle fruit and citrus notes complement the sweetness of the Virginia, while the Burley provides balance and a little extra depth.

A Traditional Virginia & Burley Blend

Peterson Sherlock Holmes Pipe Tobacco is distinguished by its emphasis on quality Virginia leaf rather than heavy aromatic flavouring. The combination of Orange, Red and Mysore Indian Virginias provides the blend with much of its natural sweetness and character, while Brazilian Burley introduces a complementary nutty quality and additional body.

A restrained fruit and citrus casing enhances the brighter characteristics of the Virginia without turning Sherlock Holmes into a heavily flavoured aromatic. The tobacco is presented in a ribbon cut, with short strands providing the traditional loose appearance associated with this style of pipe tobacco.

The Sherlock Holmes blend has roots stretching back to the 19th century, giving it an unusually long history within the Peterson range. Its traditional recipe and Virginia-focused composition provide a fitting connection with the period associated with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective.

Presented in a classic 50g pipe tobacco tin, Peterson Sherlock Holmes is a distinctive Virginia and Burley pipe tobacco with a mild fruity and citrus character. Its combination of selected Virginias, Brazilian Burley and ribbon-cut presentation gives Peterson Sherlock Holmes 50g an immediately recognisable identity within the Peterson pipe tobacco collection.
