| I ordered 14 oz. of Picayune. I like D&R tobaccos and wanted to "punch up" my base of Kentucky Select. Wow. I first tried it half and half--and got the jolt of a lifetime. Picayune is NOT for the faint of heart. To my mind, the perique dominates. The oriental flavor does come through but is not prominent. This tobacco is a tangled ribbon cut, very nice, and it pulls apart easily. The moisture content is just about right. Picayune packs very nicely, does not need relighting, and burns evenly. As I mentioned, I got this to beef up the nicotine in my blend, not for any subtleties. I now make it 25% of the mix, and it is plenty strong enough for me (and I like nicotine) at that level. The 14 oz. will last me quite a while. This is a very good, solid tobacco for the purpose to which I put it, and I highly recommend it.

| Make sure your affairs are in order, remain seated and wear clean drawers. This tobacco deserves respect but gives back much in return. Full flavored and without additives this is pure smoking pleasure for those who enjoy the strongest of the strong. The blender's interpretation of the old and now unavailable blend Picayune.
This select blend with Virginia Tops, Dark Air Cured, Orientals and Perique covers the gambit propelling Picayune to an unparalleled height in satisfaction. There are some Twists and an old fashioned Burley I've had that might give Picayune a run for sheer strength but none share the balance and sophistication.
I enjoy Picayune daily but would only recommend it only for lovers of the strongest blends. It's strength will literally overwhelm most smokers but it's sophistication and balance will reward those with the experience to enjoy the most intense of tobaccos.
