While, Peterson's Sherlock Holmes pipe series is among the Irish marque's most collectible and celebrated, the Sherlock Holmes pipe tobacco boasts a much longer history, dating to a recipe from 1889 — just two years after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first publication, A Study in Scarlet. As a blend, it comprises Virginia and Burley tobaccos with a light citrus topping to highlight the Virginias' natural sweetness. A historic, vintage blend, Sherlock Holmes is a contemporary mixture of Doyle and Holmes' time period — the perfect commemoration.
