I picked this up for blending in my various pressed flakes and other concoctions. As intended, it works quite well, rounding out the flavor profiles and adding some nic kick.
I thought I'd try smoking some straight, so I got out my smallest-bowled pipe, a mini meer, and filled it halfway. The taste was not bad, better than I expected once it got burning - strong basic tobacco flavor with a slight fruity tanginess.
And then Uncle Nic showed up to the party. I normally have a pretty good tolerance for it, but the vitamin N really hit hard and fast! I was actually starting to get a little nic sick, something I haven't experienced since late childhood. Had to let it go out and chalk it up to experience.
So overall, this perique is well-suited to its intended purpose of blending, and if you attempt to use it for anything else, I can't be held responsible for the outcome!

This tobacco has a distinctive, pungent worm dirt smell. I guess there is no mistaking that this is perique. I packed some straight into a small cob and fired her up. It wasn’t too bad but I did cough a few times. Definitely strong. The notes say ‘From St. James Parish, LA; fermented under pressure for a year or more.’ I will have to take their word for it. If you want to prove how tough you are try some straight in a small cob. Maybe I will add some to Prince Albert and see what it does.

Jar note of pungent fermented vegetation and mildly sweet. Tobacco is dark brown and black ready rub like short ribbons, moisture content is a little high, drying may be preferred. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is medium to strong. No flavoring detected. Taste is full and fairly consistent, with notes of spicy, acidity, wood, leather, musty bitter fermented vegetation, toasted bread, rich earth, a mild sweet tangy stewed fruit background note, and a peppery retro. Room note is strong, and aftertaste is great.
