Just looked that blend up, sounds like a winner

Peterson's Sherlock Holmes blend ("An old 19th century blend of Orange & Red smoking leaf, Brazilian & Mysore Indian tobacco") in a brand new MM Great Dane (egg shape with a churchwarden stem). It's great! My first Peterson's blend and first experience of Brasillian and Mysore tobacco. Very light and mildly flavorful - I'm a native Floridian, so orange doesn't stand out to me the way it might to others - blend of light brown, delicate ribbon. I can hardly tell that it's my first break-in bowl!

Second Peterson's blend that came in today - Old Dublin in my vintage MCH (London made obscurity) bent apple briar. "This mixture is based on the cool, smoky aroma of Cyprian Latakia with Golden Virginia, aromatic Black Cavendish & sweet Greek Oriental Basma grades." I really appreciate the recommendations and raves that encouraged me to order some Peterson's.
This blend is far milder, smoother than I expected, though that would have to be because I'm completely new to Basma, which has been of interest. I'm going to have to savor and finish this bowl in order to really say anything of it, but it is very interesting and seemingly, promising.

Mac Baren Seven Seas Regular in a Pete 221........... to be followed by Dunhill EMP (my first try of this blend) in a MM cob.

Addendum: I thought to try EMP as it has been discussed on BOB as a 'Latakia light' blend, in fact I believe there was a recent discussion as to whether Latakia was included within the blend or not. Imagine my surprise when I opened the tin and was greeted with a really, really strong smell of........Latakia! I'm about half way through the bowl and now I'm getting the spice of the Orientals (which I bought the blend for), the Latakia is no longer dominant (but still present) and I'm quite enjoying it, however much more smoking required to be certain it's a winner for me.
