THIS IS NOT PERIQUE. As far as I know Perique this is not one of them....... But is a strong perique like tobacco and almost interesting one. Take care, is very moist and you should left a little for a better taste. Anyway is not a regular pipe tobacco and you should act accordingly.

I ordered three tins of this. If it isn't real Perique as others have noted then it is a very close clone. I have "real perique" from some years ago in my collection, a very small amount but I compared this to the McConnell's Perique and found it very similar in taste. The nicotine kick was slightly less. It blends well with a variety of other pure tobaccos. Burns clean and dry, do tongue bite(even straight). Cavendish with a pinch of this is a fine smoke in itself. I do recommend this to all Perique fans nevertheless.

I cannot recommend this as it's description says Perique. It is by all means a good processed green river Burley, but Perique it most certainly is not. Blends well with golden VA's though, but then I'd really go for some pure Burley instead. How do they get away with this stuff?

I blended a small batch of Virgina, Perique, and Lataka, just for couple bowls, man, that peppery feeling you get in your nose, throat, and maybe other parts, is unreal, go easy, the tin says it could be smoke alone, I found a pinch is alot, But I like it.

From my research, this is NOT the real stuff from St. James Parish but is a knockoff. I'm checking on this now to confirm it.

The is my favorite brand of blending Perique. It is packed in a tin, and when opened the paper packing is damp and stained with the exuded moisture of the tobacco. The cut is not a gind or a chop, but thin ribbons, like Dunhill London. It has the smell of pickled fruitcake (which, in this case is good) but despite the moist packaging, the tobacco is not goopy. This has been a regular addition to many a tobacco that has started to become a little boring or one dimensional. If I went into details, I might be branded as a heretic, so I will practice a little rare forbearance. Because Perique has been regularly described as a background condiment however, I do not find it too terribly wrong to mix a little in with some of the great English and Virgina brands of the world (if you get my drift). Perique, at least in my book, is a fantastic background note and is like salt and pepper, as opposed to ketchup and mustard. This is a fine brand of an important blending leaf, and IMHO, should be around to "season" other tobacco as the smoker sees fit.

As good as fake Perique (which is pretty much all you can get these days) can get. It does what you expect it to do.
