Well...Mark is quite a gentleman and a great friend! How could I be offended? We have much in common. Thanks for taking the time...glad you enjoy! Take care, Corey
Great comparison! Escudo was the first tin I ever bought. Good stuff. I have a few unopened tins of the Dunhill Navy but haven’t yet tried it. Figured it was similar to Escudo but you’ve got me intrigued. Thanks as always for a great video, my friend!
I am used to smoking cool and easy english blends and the first time i smoked deluxe navy rolls i roasted my mouth so bad using english cadence. I had to give my mouth 2 weeks to recovery then i tried another bowl in my natural corn cob with a balsa filter and did micro quarter sips and the flavors that emerged were incredible. Its so rich, i love it. Will need to add more vapers to the cellar. Great video!
Hello there, hope you're well! Haha....sounds like you need to slow down a bit! I tend to go after it myself...but you're correct, every blend takes a different cadence. That's a really good point,. Glad you are enjoying this blend.... Take care, Corey
@@portlandpipesmoker8497 im generally a very slow smoker in the cigar world. I think my problem is length of draw rather than the cadence/number of draws.
I once, early on in pipe smoking, burnt my mouth so bad I had to go to the doctor for burns inside my mouth. No more captain black. I’ve been a pipe smoker for 20 years and I have learned to respect certain blends.
Thanks for doing this video. I have never tried Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls but I do have a tin aging in my drawer. I have tried Escudo a few times and love it enough to have a few more tins also aging in the drawer.
Well....glad you enjoyed the video! Hope your Peterson in the cellar ages well...it should be delicious aged! Thanks for taking the time! Much appreciated! Take care and be well! Corey
Hello Corey. Busy seems to be the new reality. Glad you found some time to do this comparison video. Never have had the Peterson or former Dunhill navy rolls. I haven't opened a tin of Escudo in several years, but may need to pull one out of the cellar now that Autumn is advancing and see what that insolent Perique did to those fine Virginias. I don't know what Escudo is selling for now as I'm trying to reduce the breadth of my cellar and have been out of the tobacco acquisition mode. However, my seven and nine year old Escudo tins were $7.29 and $7.99 a tin. Seems, the good old days were less than a decade ago. Hope you are otherwise well and Autumn refreshes you. Here it's been a relative cool and wet summer. I'm hoping that continues and it's a good snow season here. Take care.
Hello Dave my friend! So good to hear from you! Yes....way too busy...hoping to be less busy, at least a bit, after the new year! Well...those are good prices....hardly remember that! Take care...and hope you get some good snow this winter! Corey
Congratulations Corey on an astute and fascinating commentary. The African Virginia is probably from Zimbabwe, a very friendly growing area for Virginias. You are right on the nose with the sourness of the African leaf, I like both that and the American Virginias. Frankly I am surprised there is enough Virginia leaf available in the U.S. to supply Escudo. Many of the growers in the southeast are long gone. I have always preferred the subtlety of the Escudo to the Dunhill coins (sorry, Peterson coins, old habits die hard, LOL) as I filnd the softness of Escudo agrees more with my idea of the perfect Vaper, but that is just from an old guy like me who still considers Perique to be a minor condiment and not a main ingredient. Keep puffin.
Hello Doug, so good to hear from you! Thank you so much for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed the video. You are not alone in preference to the Escudo coins...they have stayed the test of time. Take care and be well, Corey
Good Day, Corey! Well, seems to be great VApers! Smoking right now Dunhill de luxe navi rolls, rare and good tobacco. This two suspects always in my "wish list". Be well, sunny days and great health to You and Your family! Kirill
Hello Kirill....so good to hear from you! Thanks for taking the time! That's good baccy...glad you're able to smoke some. Hope you're well my friend! Take care.... Corey
Hi Corey. Thanks for this comparison, which I think was very well done and informative. Much appreciated. Hope your weather becomes more tolerable soon. Take care. - Jim
Am new to pipe smoking (long time cigar smoker) and started with aromatics but quickly found they aren’t for me. Escudo is one of the first non aromatics that I tried along with Orlik Golden Sliced. I had to learn the importance of letting it dry a bit longer than I expected before having a great experience. Once I did that, I was in love with it. Thank you for the excellent video! Based on this review it seems I need to try the Peterson as well
Thank you so much for stopping by! Pipe smoking has some intricacies that take some getting used to...this comes with time. If you like the Escudo, then you'll like the Peterson...a bit different but similar. Take care and be well! Corey
Hiyas Corey, Autumn can't come too soon for this Viking!!!! I've been melting long enough. Thank you for the thorough, thoughtful and comprehensive review of these 2 VaPers. I've not had the Peterson; I have had and do have some Escudo aging in a jar. I'm much more in tune with English and Balkan blends; however, like other pipers I like to break it up with a VaPer now and again. Once the Escudo is gone I'll probably buy some Peterson to replace it. Take Care my friend! Gary
Hello Gary my friend! I certainly know what you mean by melting...hot summer weather is not for me! Glad you enjoyed....hope you can get your hands on some Peterson DLNRs. Take care and be well! Corey
Yes....I too have a degree in ancient and classical history, but it wasn't me. Most of my research was on ancient China, mostly Eastern Zhou Dynasty...but I'm primarily an anthropologist, focusing on the theory and evolution of mind in early hominids.
@@portlandpipesmoker8497 very interesting. I wonder if any of your research has led to psychedelics as a potential catalyst to the expansion of our consciousness and advancement of our abilities in hunting, gathering and general social skills such as language and construction of our society through language. Have you written any books I would be interested in purchasing one if you have. Best wishes, Mathieu from the U.K.
Ah, busy seems to be the default mode these days, doesn't it? It was a pleasure to watch your in-depth comparative dissection of these two tobacco blends. Sampling some of the popular on-line vendors, the Escudo runs around $4 - $4.50 higher than the Peterson and each was generally priced within less than a dollar of each other across the vendors. There was one exception where the Peterson was a closer to $5 more expensive than the Escudo although the Escudo was in line with the other vendors. Escudo was mostly out of stock or backordered while Peterson was readily available - a case of name recognition through online reviews or actually favored by more VaPer lovers? In choosing to do the comparison at your desk, you chose wisely, my friend. Too much to cover standing outside in any weather. 👍🏼 lol I loved your chuckle when you noted that the Escudo was 'scientifically manufactured.' Wouldn't we love to see the science that is the basis for that claim? 😉Once again, thanks for the very worthwhile review and the history that you shared. I hope that in the past month since your post you have seen some autumn weather. It has been only a few days now that we've felt like autumn had arrived. Once Ian had stopped influencing our weather, it turned cooler and the mornings started having an autumnal chill. Be well, Corey, and keep things awesome - peace
Excelent comparison, Corey, a real pleasure to hear. I've never had Escudo (the portuguese coin before the euro was the escudo, btw, meaning "shield"). Cheers
@@portlandpipesmoker8497 Escudo means both "shield" and "coat of arms". It was the portuguese currency for the most part of the 20th century, but also the portuguese and spanish coin in the 1600's and 1700's.. There's many escudos in the bottom of the oceans...
Hi Corey, good to see you my friend. Both excellent tobaccos, Escudo is superb, but quite expensive now & unavailable here. Take care of yourself & have a peaceful Sunday. Ross
Corey, thanks for doing this in-depth comparison. I’ve smoked Escudo and enjoy it but I think I’m going to like Peterson’s better from your description.
Hola Corey my friend, a really great video about both of this legendary tobaccos 👌🏻. I haven't had the chance to try the Escudo yet because you can't buy it in Europe, although it's made here. It is crazy. For this reason I can speak only about the Peterson'' De Luxe Navy Rolls. This is one of my favourite tobaccos, which I have every time in my cellar. I am lucky to have the original Dunhill too, which I have smoked since the beginning about 40 years. I the German Community I think last year we had a group of 10 friends which made a comparison between nearly all VaPer Roll Cakes in the German market. They include the Escudo too and the conclusion of all of them was that all tobaccos are the same, because all of them are produced from the Scandinavian Group. I can't believe this is right. Specifically related to the Escudo. I think this one is a tobacco in its own right. From its appearance alone it looks the largest discs of all and from its tobacco regions. But like I said, I didn't smoke it. Very good work Corey. During the video I have smoked in your Meerschaumpipe the Peterson😉. It is a very good smoker. Thank you so much again🤗. Take good care of yourself my friend, becuse my health is failing at the moment. Best wishes from the 🌞🏝. Michael
Hello Micheal, good to hear from you! And thank you for your interesting and informative comments. That is strange that to German community found that the Caper roll coins were all the same...clearly these two are not the same tobaccos. Glad your enjoying the meerschaum pipe! Take care and be well! Corey
Just came across this video. Been smoking consistently for about a year and on and off for 10. I think you described Escudo NDL perfectly. I love the way it smokes consistently and not only does the flavor maintain throughout as you said, i find the last third of the bowl to be the best part (as long as it is smoked at the goldy locks moisture content). Too much moisture and the flavor seems to be subtle. Too little moisture and it still tastes great, but with a little harshness. With the perfect moisture content, the smoke is pillowy and consistently pleasant down to the ashes. It has always been a strange one for me, as it does not immediately jump out as being anything out of this world. But once it becomes a familiar flavor something about it makes me miss it when I don't have it.
Hello my friend! Escudo, as you've mentioned, can be a very unpredictable character....but when you get it just right, there's nothing like it. It is one of my favorite tobaccos, not appreciated fully by novice smokers I think! Thanks for stopping by, taking the time, and for your good comment! Take care and be well! Corey
Happy to have stopped by. The study looks great. What are some of the older looking books about. I have a home library as well and I just love it. Peace be with you
Glad to have you stop by! Sorry it took so long to get back to you! The old books are mostly anthologies and histories....from the 15th to the 18th century. Thanks for taking the time! Take care and be well! Corey
Hi Corey! Very interesting, thank you for making this video! I was hoping somebody would do a comparison between the two, Im so glad it was you who did one in the end. I don’t believe I have had Escudo, although I may have…I think it was available in Norway and Denmark back when I was a newbie. I have had Dunhill navy rolls, it was a Mureays tin I smoked long time ago. Great stuff although it was a bit too complex for me at the time. I will try a Vaper or two this autumn, I have not had a proper one for years. Very good to see you, my dear friend. Be well and we’ll talk soon! Emil
Greetings Emil my good friend! Glad you enjoyed the video! Well...Escudo is a great Caper but my taste prefers the sweetness of the Peterson DLNR. But there are other really great VaPers out there. Take care my friend, we'll talk soon. Corey
Thank you so much for taking the time! Glad you enjoyed! I have many types of books, many are history as I do have a graduate degree in ancient and classical history. Take care, Corey
Hi Corey! I think that is why people look at my videos or yours. People want subjective. I say we should judge anything by our taste and just tell people. Sadly I never had these tobaccos! Great video!! Silviu 🤝
Hi Corey, great video as always. I love the Study, though I do depend on you and Mark to take me to new places 🙂. I had just discovered Cope's Escudo and fell in love with it, then they went out of business and Escudo was no more🙁. When A&C resurrected it I tried it and was very disappointed, it just didn't match up. Many years later I retried it and judged it for it's own merits and found it a pleasant smoke. The Dunhill DLNR I found richer and deeper in it's smoke. I have not tried the Peterson since they assumed the Dunhill mantle. In this genre I find the Robert McConnell Highgate quite good and for a sweeter taste the Davidiff Medallion Flake. Take care my friend, have a great weekend 👍. Best Regards, William
Hello William, good to hear from you! And thank you for your interesting comments about your own experience. I really like the Davidoff MF myself, but it has a core of Cavendish...so is that cheating? Not sure....take care.... Corey
That my friend is a good question! There are so many.... But my favorite pure VaPers would perhaps be...SG Cabbie's Mixture and Three Nuns...which is now a VaBur....but still delicious. ...but I really like the slightly sweetened, by Cavendish, the Davidoff Flake Medallions. Thanks for taking the time. Take care, Corey
Corey this was very interesting i love vapers and they have that. Peppery taste on the toung. Its Delicious with that hay. Grassy notes i tend to sip kinda slow try to enhance all the flavors thanks for doing this comparison between the two i have two tins of each in my cellar under the Dunhill name. I havnt tried the peterson blends yet. But there great vapers corey but i still love my burleys too thanks f o r doing this i know those two meershums pipes smoked them well too happy smokes my friend😀👋🔥💨☕ Best regards peter the smoove piper
Hello Peter, hope you're well! Glad you enjoyed....thanks for taking the time. And hope you enjoy these good baccys when you break them out! Take care, Corey
Great review Corey! Definitely looks like Cut is different and the escudo has left some stems. Yet to try them both. I need to revisit escudo and try the Peterson 😊 happy smokes my friend
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed....and seems that you agree. ...yeah, cut is different and so is the tobacco leaf. Similar tobaccos yet different! Hope you get to try the Peterson. Thanks for taking the time. Take care and be well! Corey
I find Escudo smoother and more mellow than Peterson Navy Rolls whilst the latter can be fruitier…a lot depends on their respective vintage. Good to hear your comprehensive comparison Corey…best wishes my friend.
Hello John, hope you're well! I think you're quite right about these baccys, and yes, it depends on their age. Many tobaccos can change drastically over time. Thanks for stopping by... Take care, Corey P.S. Yesterday I played the album "The Queen is Dead" by the Smiths in honor!
i heard from an insider that they're both exactly the same tobacco, same manufacturer just a different tin & branding. but i'm still gonna kill 45 mins listening to your side-by-side comparison. haha
Greetings and thanks for stopping by! I'm not convinced they are the same, ..,.but I'm not an expert either. It is an interesting thought. Take care, Corey
Haha....you shouldn't take my word for it. Perhaps you were right, especially if you have it from an insider. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it and subbed! Take care, Corey
That is a good question! And I will give you the same answer I gave to Shirt Sleeves: there are so many.... But my favorite pure VaPers would perhaps be...SG Cabbie's Mixture and Three Nuns...which is now a VaBur....but still delicious. ...but I really like the slightly sweetened, by Cavendish, the Davidoff Flake Medallions. Take care and be well... Corey
Wessex Burley Slice and Solani Aged Burley Flake both recently changed their mixture and Now Cobblestone Hiking all produced and distributed by K&K maybe a different casing / toping pretty much the exact same leaf
I’m not sure where you shop but escudo has always been almost 40% cheaper than DNR’s. That’s always been a big selling point for escudo. Pre Vid, when things were available you’d pay $12 for Escudo and $18-20 for DNR. Now who knows what’s what. Enjoy the smokes.
Hello Eric, good to hear from you! Yes...I think you're correct on that, but I rarely keep up with prices because they vary so much. But that's a good point...thank you! Take care, Corey
I know that look. There's a woman behind your troubles. Been there. Stay strong, firm, never apologize for being a male. That demands respect. They are delusional today and forget we built this world they live in.

Great! And your studio is fantastic! Perfect for smoking pipe.. What kind of book? History? Thanks for all
Thank you so much for taking the time!
Glad you enjoyed!
I have many types of books, many are history as I do have a graduate degree in ancient and classical history.
Take care,
Corey
Well done brother!!!!
Thank you!
....and thanks for taking the time!
Take care,
Corey
Hi Corey!
I think that is why people look at my videos or yours. People want subjective. I say we should judge anything by our taste and just tell people.
Sadly I never had these tobaccos!
Great video!!
Silviu 🤝
Well...I try to be objective so others can make their own decisions.
Hope you can give these tobaccos a try someday!
Take care,
Corey
Hi Corey, great video as always. I love the Study, though I do depend on you and Mark to take me to new places 🙂. I had just discovered Cope's Escudo and fell in love with it, then they went out of business and Escudo was no more🙁. When A&C resurrected it I tried it and was very disappointed, it just didn't match up. Many years later I retried it and judged it for it's own merits and found it a pleasant smoke. The Dunhill DLNR I found richer and deeper in it's smoke. I have not tried the Peterson since they assumed the Dunhill mantle. In this genre I find the Robert McConnell Highgate quite good and for a sweeter taste the Davidiff Medallion Flake. Take care my friend, have a great weekend 👍.
Best Regards,
William
Hello William, good to hear from you!
And thank you for your interesting comments about your own experience.
I really like the Davidoff MF myself, but it has a core of Cavendish...so is that cheating?
Not sure....take care....
Corey
Yes it's cheating but we won't tell anyone 😉
Thanks Corey .. Just curious .. what's you favourite VaPer?
That my friend is a good question!
There are so many....
But my favorite pure VaPers would perhaps be...SG Cabbie's Mixture and Three Nuns...which is now a VaBur....but still delicious.
...but I really like the slightly sweetened, by Cavendish, the Davidoff Flake Medallions.
Thanks for taking the time.
Take care,
Corey
Corey this was very interesting i love vapers and they have that. Peppery taste on the toung. Its Delicious with that hay. Grassy notes i tend to sip kinda slow try to enhance all the flavors thanks for doing this comparison between the two i have two tins of each in my cellar under the Dunhill name. I havnt tried the peterson blends yet. But there great vapers corey but i still love my burleys too thanks f o r doing this i know those two meershums pipes smoked them well too happy smokes my friend😀👋🔥💨☕
Best regards peter the smoove piper
Hello Peter, hope you're well!
Glad you enjoyed....thanks for taking the time.
And hope you enjoy these good baccys when you break them out!
Take care,
Corey
Great review Corey! Definitely looks like Cut is different and the escudo has left some stems. Yet to try them both. I need to revisit escudo and try the Peterson 😊 happy smokes my friend
Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed....and seems that you agree.
...yeah, cut is different and so is the tobacco leaf.
Similar tobaccos yet different!
Hope you get to try the Peterson.
Thanks for taking the time.
Take care and be well!
Corey
I find Escudo smoother and more mellow than Peterson Navy Rolls whilst the latter can be fruitier…a lot depends on their respective vintage. Good to hear your comprehensive comparison Corey…best wishes my friend.
Hello John, hope you're well!
I think you're quite right about these baccys, and yes, it depends on their age.
Many tobaccos can change drastically over time.
Thanks for stopping by...
Take care,
Corey
P.S. Yesterday I played the album "The Queen is Dead" by the Smiths in honor!
Great review !
Thank you so much!
Glad you found it helpful!
And thanks for taking the time!
Take care,
Corey
i heard from an insider that they're both exactly the same tobacco, same manufacturer just a different tin & branding. but i'm still gonna kill 45 mins listening to your side-by-side comparison. haha
okay, so it is actually different after all. I'm surprised. good video thanks. thumbs up! subbed.
Greetings and thanks for stopping by!
I'm not convinced they are the same,
..,.but I'm not an expert either.
It is an interesting thought.
Take care,
Corey
Haha....you shouldn't take my word for it.
Perhaps you were right, especially if you have it from an insider.
Thanks for watching!
Glad you enjoyed it and subbed!
Take care,
Corey
What is your favorite VaPer ?
That is a good question!
And I will give you the same answer I gave to Shirt Sleeves: there are so many....
But my favorite pure VaPers would perhaps be...SG Cabbie's Mixture and Three Nuns...which is now a VaBur....but still delicious.
...but I really like the slightly sweetened, by Cavendish, the Davidoff Flake Medallions.
Take care and be well...
Corey
@@portlandpipesmoker8497 Thank you and be well !
Wessex Burley Slice and Solani Aged Burley Flake both recently changed their mixture and Now Cobblestone Hiking all produced and distributed by K&K maybe a different casing / toping pretty much the exact same leaf
Yes..very interesting....so many changes!
Thanks for taking the time and for the good comment.
Take care and be well!
Corey
To me the main differences are the names and the tin art…
✌️
Haha...well...its not always to sense the subtleties.
Take care,
Corey
Corey thanks for sharing🍭🐓👶
Thank you....and thanks for stopping by!
Take care and be well!
Corey
A lot of Chomsky books :)
Absolutely!
Thanks for stopping by!
Take care,
Corey
Wow, change is a constant. Escudo now is way cheaper than peterson’s rolls
Change is constant....that's for sure!
Thanks for taking the time!
Take care,
Corey
I’m not sure where you shop but escudo has always been almost 40% cheaper than DNR’s. That’s always been a big selling point for escudo. Pre Vid, when things were available you’d pay $12 for Escudo and $18-20 for DNR. Now who knows what’s what. Enjoy the smokes.
Hello Eric, good to hear from you!
Yes...I think you're correct on that, but I rarely keep up with prices because they vary so much.
But that's a good point...thank you!
Take care,
Corey
👍🙏💨💨
Greetings Lars, so good to hear from you!
Hope you're well...and thanks for taking the time.
Take care,
Corey
I know that look. There's a woman behind your troubles. Been there. Stay strong, firm, never apologize for being a male. That demands respect. They are delusional today and forget we built this world they live in.
No sure what you're talking about....
But thanks for stopping by.
Take care,
Corey
