Here is a blend that combines the rich English flavors of Latakia and fire-cured Virginia, plus a Burley base for coolness. It's smooth and spicy with a slight sweet tang.

The toasted, nutty, earthy, woody, molasses sweet burley is the star component. The fire cured Virginia is lightly grassy and floral with a little earth, wood, a pinch of spice, and a bit of citrus as a supporting player. Playing in the background is the musty, smokey, woody, earthy sweet Cyprian Latakia. The topping seems to be a very mild application of coumarin, anise, and something floral. The strength and nic-hit are in the middle of mild to medium, while the taste is a couple of steps past that mark. Well blended, you’ll notice virtually every nuance in every puff. Burns at a moderate rate, cool, clean, smooth with a slight creaminess and very consistent flavor from start to finish. Won’t bite or get harsh. Requires few relights, and leaves virtually no moisture in the bowl. Has a pleasant after taste though the room note isn’t a real crowd pleaser. It’s an all day American English.

I was most surprised to discover that I had never reviewed this exceptional blend before now; I first smoked it more than six months ago.

This is just plain good! It is what an "American English" was in days of yore...only better for its current rarity. It had its competition, and perhaps its betters, once upon a time...but no longer. This reminds me of Peretti's Cuban Mixture, though milder and more attuned to today's tastes.

I am not one to dissect--or vivesect--a tobacco blend: I am perfectly content to accept the manufacturer's description of its ingredients. In this case, 9575 does not disappoint.

There is Burley, adding its nutty earthiness...and Virginia adding a bit of its sweetness...and Latakia's inimitable qualities. But none take-over the delicate balance of this blend from top to bottom. "Nuance" be damned! This is just a superior smoke from first to last puff.

No bite, no gurgle, no dottle. There were ONCE, perhaps, better "American English" blends...but no more.

This is "The Top" IMHO

Peretti’s of Boston IMHO has some of America’s top Burley tobaccos and D-9575 is a Burley lover’s English Blend. D-9575 arrives looking typical of many Peretti blends with a chopped ribbon appearance, and a somewhat smoky, but Burley forward pouch scent. With age it smells sweet and musty. D-9575 burns slightly sweet and smoky too. But make no mistake; the Burley is the star of this show. D-9575 smooth’s out nicely with age and the Virginias pick up in sweetness a bit. I find it a little rough around the edges when new, but I am not a daily Burley smoker so your experience may be different. Personally for my taste, this is a two star blend, but it wouldn’t be fair to rate it that way. For its genre, D-9575 is one of those blends that is a really well-made that lovers of Burley, and/or Burley forward English blends will find far better than I do.

L.J. Peretti's D-9575 is a cousin to D-7485, as both contain a burley component, but where D-7485 has a predominately Burley base, with a lower level of Virginia and an incense flavor at times. D-9575 has a good amount of Virginia with the Burley and a smokier flavor closer to standard English blends, as the Latakia comes more to the front on this blend. D-9575 is an easy blend to smoke and highly recommended.

What we have here is another outstanding burley blend from L.J. Peretti, a tobacconist famous for their burley blends. D-9575 reveals its' burley and Latakia ingredients in the pouch aroma, with some sweetness from the Virginia. It packs and lights very easily, due to its' cut. It did require a few relights, but part of that is my fault, I've never been a "one match" smoker.

This tobacco has a wonderful Virginia sweetness that never cloys. The burley provides a nutty fullness, and the Latakia adds a creamy background note. The burley becomes a bigger influence as the bowl is finished, with the characteristic nuttiness the dominating flavor. I'm a big burley fan, with half a dozen blends or more here at any time, and D-9575 is one of the very best.

Scoring for this delightful tobacco; flavor- 18 of 20; packing and lighting- 9 of 10; value- 8 of 10. D-9575 gets a score of 35 and a solid ** rating.

Having started my pipe smoking career off by smoking my father's burley blends, (Half an Half, Heine's Blend, etc,.), and then switching over to English Blends, this is one of my favorites. This is a all-day blend with just the right amount of sweetness that does not become sickly.

Opening the tin, one finds a press-packaged, full natural tobacco scent that delights, and never overpowers. The color is brownish with black specks and blond overtones throughout.

The flavor is slightly sweet, with the Virginia and Burley carrying the main taste load. The Latakia is present, but in more of a condiment role than traditional English Blends.

It packs and lights easily, I seldom need a re-light. As you progress down the bowl, the taste maintains itself rather steadily, probably due in large part to the burley base.

I consider this blend a True American/English.

9575 from Peretti is a rough, coarse chopped blend, with stringy strips of Virginia.

The pouch aroma is slightly sweet, yeasty, and delicately smoky. Packing is leaning towards difficult, there are some very large chunks of burley that need tending to before packing and lighting.

First half is mostly the nuttiness and clean burley, with a slight sweetness and the right amount of smoky Latakia. This blend isn't rough, but it does smoke a bit sharp. This is definitely a burley forward blend. The further down it gets, the less sweet it becomes. This blend really dries out the palate, so have a beverage on hand. Solid, quality tobacco, but not a bell-ringer for me. I'm unimpressed.

This is a mild to medium American English blend that I found similar to Peretti?s D-7485. It burns cool and has a satisfying sweetness. The burley and VA hold a whip to the Latakia and keep it in the background. It is a solid and straightforward smoke from beginning to end. As I noted with blend D-7485, if you want more body and strength, this blend will not do it for you.

A cigarette is to be smoked. A cigar is to be enjoyed. A pipe is to be savored.

I rate this tobacco 8.6 out of 10.

With the exception of House of Windsor's Country Doctor, Peretti's D-9575 is, in my estimation, the greatest of all American English blends.

There are several fine American Englishes on the market. Revelation, Barking Dog, and Morley's Best spring to mind as exemplars of this type of blend--cool smoking, full-bodied, rich in flavor, smooth and satisfying. What sets D-9575 apart is the intriguing melange of flavors, as the smokiness of the latakia merges and interacts with the stout burley and piquant Virginia. The flavor has a natural sweetness, and this tobacco burns mild, dry, and cool all the way to the bottom of the bowl. No bitterness will greet the pipe smoker as you approach the end of your smoke. The balance and finish of this tobacco are unassailable.

Robert Peretti knows his burley; only Bob Runowski among modern blenders rival this master. Do yourself a favor and give D-9575 a try: it's a classic.

A lovely, traditional Americanized English. The ribbon cut burns exquisitely down to a dry ash. The latakia is not spicy, but smokey with depth. Its cool-burning, mild nature is perfect for mornings with tea or coffee, but is not drowned out by the Russian Imperial stout I'm enjoying now. Neither the burley nor the Virginias stand out here. A tobacco of times-gone-by when America was about conformity and anything too far from the norm would have been unacceptable to the palate of the day. If you like traditional American English blends you should like this one. A little too one-dimensional for an all day smoke for me.
