Say what? Indeed, Sherlock Holmes pipe tobacco from Peterson is a reality. This old recipe dates back to 1880. An ancient blend that still satisfies to this day - a prized mixture of straight Virginia offering the rich, natural flavors and aromas Virginia tobacco is known for. Want a proven blend tested by time and fussy pipe enthusiasts? This is it.
Since the 1800s, the Peterson name has been a prominent fixture in luxury pipes and pipe tobacco. Charles Peterson revolutionized the pipe industry nearly 150 years ago, and the same passion and craftsmanship used then is applied to every Peterson pipe and pipe tobacco produced today. If you're going to fill your pipe, few choices are better than Peterson pipe tobacco.
I was curious about this blend ... Virginia blended with Brazilian burley and non-aromatic ... I view those three things favorably so I guessed that I would like the finished combination of the three ...
Sadly, I did not ... although the description SAYS it is non-aromatic, it's evident that it has had a close association with candy at some point in the process, resulting in a (for me) unsatisfying smoking experience ...
Before throwing it away, I might try using it as a potpourri in the bathroom ... it'd likely be an improvement on the floral scents the Mrs. tends to favor ...

Customer Testimonials
Peterson Sherlock Holmes was one of the first blends that I tried and is still one of the favorites in my humidor (after trying about 9 other blends). I bought some in Singapore for about 6x as much as CI charges! White pepper, a little creamy, with a medium finish, not very fruity or sweet but, dry and clean. I would recommend giving it a try if you are not a fan of sweet and fruity tobaccos.
