Peterson Founders Choice Cube Cut Pipe Tobacco - 100g Tin

The Nurnberg brothers Friedrich and Heinrich Kapp, whose elegant Dublin tobacconist first opened for business in 1865 on Grafton Street, Dublin could scarcely have dreamt that they would participate in the birth of a legend.

Friedrich & Heinrich, who christened their shop simply 'Kapp Brothers', soon made a name for themselves making and selling quality Meerschaum and Briar Root pipes. It was not long before Charles Peterson, walked into Kapp Brothers Grafton Street premises armed with a revolutionary pipe and ambitious plans for the future.

There and then, Peterson suggested that the brothers go into partnership with him to turn his pipe dream into the world's dream pipe. They agreed and the company was renamed Kapp & Peterson. Kapp and Peterson went on to become Dublin's most fashionable and respected manufacturer and purveyor of fine smoking products. Pipe and cigar smokers would stroll down to the elegant premises for professional advice on the subtle nuances that determine a good handmade cigar or pipe. The Peterson brand was embraced by politicians, business leaders, sportsmen, artists and writers.

The skills and craft which Charles Peterson applied to his original invention are continued by the dedicated team of craftsmen at Peterson today. Whether as a gift for a friend or for your own personal use, you will appreciate the excellence of the Peterson range of cigars, tobaccos, pipes and smoking accessories.

Peterson's Founder’s Choice is a superbly well-presented aromatic with Black Cavendish, Burley, Oriental and Virginia. What makes this pipe tobacco so unique is the cube cut and wonderful aroma.

This mixture should please any lover of aromatics and may even temp some none-aromatic fans to trying more of them.

The tin art is in the style of a seal of authenticity, or certificate. With gold writing on a textured brown background. Opening the screw lid will release a glorious wave of fruity scent that is tempting by itself.

Reveal the tobacco and you may never have seen anything like it before. Small cubes of lightly pressed leaf fill the container, with a sprinkling of loose leaf Cavendish and Virginia in between.0

 How do you prepare such a novelty for smoking?

Probably the best way is to take a pinch of the small cubes and rub them gently in the palm of your hand with index finger and thumb of the other hand. It doesn’t take much work at all and filling your pipe with the resulting rubbed tobacco is easy.

Lighting is simple and the leaf burns well. Rich flavourful mango fruit and vanilla, with a mild rum tang fills your mouth, you can almost feel the juiciness. Then there’s the leaf, with which the other flavours work so well, that are detectable and add to the depth of the experience.

Once finished, you are left refreshed and your pipe is easy to clean.
