Peretti 150th Anniversary Blend
(3.31)
The culmination of two years experimentation in blending, cutting, pressing and, of course, sampling, has produced a fine matured Viriginia that we trust you will savor for many years to come.
Notes: We begin using the finest middle-belt Virginias, including some rare leaf from the 2010 crop. We press the blended tobacco for up to six weeks to enhance the deep flavor. This changes the color to a dark brown. We cut it into a slightly thicker than traditional flake format. This thick cut preserves the flavor. Blend 150 is medium in strength with a rich, subtly sweet flavor of dates and vintage port. It is reminiscent of our discontinued "Scottish Flake" but with greater complexity.

I have revisited this flake several times since receiving it a few months prior. It is mild and rather nondescript as Virginia flake goes. Not a lot here to hold my interest. Even sipped in my Meer I find it dry on the throat. Smoked as such, it takes a great deal of gentle tasting to produce a cool enough burn to unlock any interesting flavors, and they are tenuous at that. For now, I will let this cellar.
