(3.25)
The RO Series Perique Blend SV-23 contains perique from South Vacherie, which is the only part of the Golden Triangle situated to the south of the river. It has strong coffee notes with an herbal influence, and some white pepper. Combining it with sweet, but somewhat neutral tobaccos allows this tasty perique to come through, with the Virginias adding enough sweetness to offset the bitter espresso notes.
Tin label: Perique Blend SV-23 uses Perique from the South Vacherie region, blended with sweet golden Virginias and a bit of mellow Burley. It has a noticeable coffee note with herbal undertones and a good amount of white pepper - builds in intensity.

The fairly tangy, citrusy Virginias also offer a bit of grass and hay with a touch of toast and honey. They form the base of the blend. The very noticeable South Vacherie perique provides a bit of white pepper, and is a tad leathery with coffee undertones, and its potency belies the amount used in this mixture. I consider it to be a second lead. The tingly white pepper does seem to get lightly stronger as you go along. This perique is a little less sweeter than what most smokers are used to. The nutty, very woody, earthy, toasty and light cocoa aspects of the burley have a modicum of sweetness in a support role. The strength is medium, while the taste level is just past that threshold. The nic-hit is in the center of mild to medium. Won’t bite or get harsh, and has no rough edges. Burns cool, clean, and slightly fast with a mostly consistent, rich, well balanced flavor all the way through the experience as it easily burns to ash. Has a lot of depth and body. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a lingering peppery, woody, mildly sweet after taste. Not quite an all day smoke, but it’s certainly repeatable.
