Torben Dansk Louisiana Perique U.S.A
(2.67)
A noble speciality from the South of the USA, and meantime a true rarity. Best to be dosed sparingly due to the succinct aroma.

Fermented/Aged Burley and Virginia.
The German Dan Pipe website states that this is a "mixed tobacco". I am sure that this is not genuine Perique.
The tin note.
For me this was quite interesting. Imagine the vinegar and tartness of a combucha tea mixed with an over ripe blue cheese on top of dried prunes.
The taste.
I smoke this straight without mixing it. It tastes like a well aged/fermented Burley and Virginia blend. There is some slightly sweet yet very dark notes to it.
It made my nose runny from how pungent it is. However I surprisingly did not detect any spiciness. The retrohail was shockingly smooth for what it is. I even found myself fully inhaling it without realizing it because of how smooth it was.
It is not very high in nicotine though. (Disclaimer, I am extremely nicotine tolerant)
This is without a doubt a decent Perique substitute. Like an off brand cola. It's similar enough to Perique to be used like it, but not genuine.
If you have quit cigarettes and want to transition into pipe smoking this has enough body and vitamin N to satisfy. And if you can't help yourself it is inhalable in my opinion.
This is still a valid option for use as a Perique substitute for mixing with other blends.
I recommend it.

Fresh out the tin I totally agree with Filip. Just like him I thought: Dude! Prunes etc. Massive dissapointment! Soaking wet. It sat around for a year. Dried out, still oily, just the overall humidity went down. Totally different experience now. Sour, raisins (like that rather medicinal taste - stuff your face with like a proper hand full and chew away if you know what i mean) sharp, stingy. No St. James LA Perique I guess. But good enough to spice up some VAs. Careful, needs to be applied in homeopathic dosages, this stuff cant be smoked straight!!! But I did find it to taste of just what I look for in Perique.
