Watch City Cigar Rouxgaroux
(3.54)
The Rouxgaroux! The Cajun Werewolf. It prowls the sugar cane fields outside New Orleans looking for it's next victim.
Watch City's "Rouxgaroux" is based upon a bed of our "Simply Red" and a matured red Virginia. Rouxgaroux is an indulgent melange of flavors of stewed fig and plum. spiced with a generous amount of perique along with some stoved Virginia and a bit of bright Virginia for a unique floral note that drifts in and out through the bowl.
Notes: Co-created by Ernie Q and JimInks. Blended at Watch City by Ernie.

This tobacco came highly recommended to me by a member of my discord, so when it became available I went ahead and purchased a pound.
Upon receiving the bag, I opened it and the first thing I noticed was a nutty tin note along with vinegar. Not McClelland type vinegar, but some other type of vinegar that definitely stings the nose a bit (It doesn't come through when lighting it though).
When I tried it fresh, I didn't think it had a whole lot of flavor when I first smoked it (Could have been a tired palate in retrospect) so I figured it would be a blend to age. As the months have passed the vinegar tin note is mostly gone at this point and what you're left with is a kind of Cocoa note, along with dark fruits (like plum/figs) and the vinegar way in the background.
When the description says that there are generous amounts of perique in the blend, they aren't lying. This has quite a bit of perique in it, you will feel it in your nose. If you have a tendency to retro a lot as you smoke, and you're not a perique fan, you may want to skip this one.
Think of Simply Red (Creamy, Coconut-like, Sweet), add some figs/plums (dark fruits), a hell of a zing on the nose, and some spice. After about 4-5 months, that's where this blend currently is.
I generally prefer blends that are not as intense on the perique, but as it ages I keep trying it and it keeps surprising me with its complexity.
I come from the cigar world, so to me, the strength of the blend struck me more on the milder side than medium +.
All in all, 3/4 stars. If You're a VaPer fan, with emphasis on perique, get some.
