Esoterca's Dunbar awakened my palate to the pleasures of perique. I had been enjoying perique in blends like Old Gowrie and Marlin Flake without knowing it. Rather like the bourgeois gentilhomme, M. Jourdain, I had been speaking prose without realizing it. Anyhow, Dunbar started an engagement with perique, and though the pleasure came relatively late in life, it came strongly. Since then i have explored the deep tasting experience of perique in blends such as Anniversary Kake, Haddo's Delight, Momoyama etc and rediscovered Navy Rolls and Escudo. Synjeco's Holker Twist takes its place along with the best of virginia-perique blends. According to the site it is made for Synjeco by Samuel Gawith. The virginias in the blend have all the virtues of the Gawith steamed virginias - cool and slow smoking, delicious sweet taste and a full mouth feel. The perique tastes of dry fruit rather than pepper, and is felicitously married to the virginias. Though there is hardly any tin - bag, really - aroma, the room note is very attractive. Burning qualities are excellent though some relighting is necessary at the end of the bowl. The twist form means there is the added pleasure of playing about with the tobacco. I found it worked best in medium to large sized bowls. An obvious choice for the virginia-perique lover, but straight virginia smokers may also find it a pleasant smoke. Highly recommended, without any reservations.

My absolute favourite, if you like vrirginia try this , if you like Perique try this.. Quite easy to prepare, just slice of half a centimeter, pluck apart, dry for a bit, stuff your pipe and enjoy!

I dont know why I didn't review this blend when I bought it two years ago. Back then, like with Synjeco's Clegir Rope, I was somewhat disappointed, but like that one, Holker Twist has benefited amazingly from two years in a jar. It is now one of the finest Va-Pers I can think of. Very pure, very clean tasting, and with an extremely elegant interplay of Virginia and Perique. It doesn't get any better, really.

This is one of the greatest tobaccos I've ever tried. Flawless presentation, full and smooth smoke without the slightest danger of tonguebite and a simply unique taste. This tobacco shows the exact right amount of natural sweetness and the small percentage of perique fits simply perfect. If you have any chance to get a bulk of this you should try it.
