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 Sherlock Holmes is an elementary blend of high quality Virginias and Brazilian Burley. There are no mysteries here unless you’re looking for the Oriental tobacco, as it has a slight spice to it but no Orientals.
This is a well-balanced tobacco which has very little casing.
It smokes well without the need to relight often, if at all.
The tin aroma is mildly fruity, of apricot and citrus.
You can tell this is a Virginia blend. The ribbon is cut into short lengths that are easy to pack into the bowl. The colouring is of chestnut brown with lighter golden browns and darker sepia to chocolate tones.
This tobacco blend is an easy smoke that dates back to the 19th century.
