Peterson Elizabethan Mixture pipe tobacco is a ribbon cut blend of darkened Virginias and perique with no added flavour. The matured 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 notes. An easy-to-enjoy blend with a tangy character and a bit of pepper spice. This is a classic favourite of many and a benchmark for which other Virginia/Perique tobaccos are rated against.

Presented in a 50g tin Peterson Elizabethan Mixture pipe tobacco is ribbon cut and can be easily loaded straight into the bowl. To fully appreciate the flavour and taste we recommend that the mixture is smoked at a slow pace to

• prevent the tobacco burning hot which will impair the taste and aroma,
• cause the pipe to overheat potentially causing the dreaded tongue bite.

Elizabethan Mixture was launched by Dunhill and made in London until production was transferred to sister company Murray and Sons in 1981. It was made in Belfast until new owners BAT closed the Murray factory in 2005.

Elizabethan has been made since its 2013 reintroduction by STG after being unavailable since 2005, firstly under the Dunhill brand and now as a Peterson product after Dunhill withdrew their brand from the pipe tobacco.
