St. James Perique Tobacco
Description
Perique is a rare, slow-burning tobacco grown and processed in St. James Parish, Louisiana. Known for its high nicotine content and fruity/spice flavor profile, it's commonly used as a condiment tobacco.
We receive this tobacco packed damp in barrels, then vacuum seal it to preserve freshness and prevent mold or oxidation.
It's one of the best
After drying and prepping SI mixed with some straight Virginia blend to get some of the best tasting flavors from what was an ordinary blend to an extra ordinary mix Would highly recommend doing this to get the most out of your blends.
I like it a lot
Good dark fruit perique and not the pepper bomb. Purchased over the years and always toss a lb in my order.
This is my second batch, and it's by far the best I've ever had. Raisin poop would be the best way to describe the smell, very fruity and a bit fermented. I'm mixing it about 5-10% with anything lighter which is about everything, from lemon to broadleaf, red, and a touch of m609, which is a great mixing tobacco, thin, high nic, light mild taste which fills in nice with the perique.
By far this is the best batch I've gotten from WLT, and as always it's top notch, shipped fast and high quality.
