.Easy rubbing out,optimal point of dryness to smoke inmediately after opening.It,s strong,tangy,sweetI,m Latakia addict but here is an amazing breaking point.The only question is where can you find Perique,in fact I,ll not give the third star because the name seems to me a little kind of scam.Last but not least,premium class at premium price.Very high suspiction of artificial humectant,just like the rest of the brand.

My first introduction to VaPers and still my favorite. Quality Virginia and Perique which burns well and smokes with a sweet, peppery flavor and no tongue bite. IMHO, this is what a VaPer should be. My only regret is that it costs a little more.

As much as I wanted to really like this, I didn't. I love VA/Ps. This had the unfortunate characteristics of that Danish-type liqueuer smell combined with tongue-scorching heat. I can take some heat if the flavor is rewarding, but this smoked similarly to MacBaren Virginia No. 1, which is not a positive experience in my book.
I tried four bowls of this, then traded it. I have tried it another three times at pipe shows. I give up.

I would like to start out by saying that I am an english fancier, and seldom have room in my rotation for VA or VA/Perique blends. However, I occasionally MAKE room in the rotation for this fabulous smoke. Like mentioned above, I only smoke this one in the summer months, which is the only time I ever smoke a tobacco of this variety. 633 has to be the most forgiving tobacco or this type. I find that this never bites for me, which makes it stand in a class of its own IMHO. The taste is quite sweet, with the spiciness of the perique giving it just the right amount of kick. When I'm looking for a change of pace around the summer months, I find myself reaching for this quite frequently. Highly recommended.
