McClelland Blending Perique
(3.47)
Rare and precious, this dark, fragrant condiment tobacco comes to us in wooden casks from St. James Parish, Louisiana, where it has been produced in time honored fashion since the days when the natives pressed it in tree trunks. Use it sparingly in your blends for its distinctive cooked fruit, musty, mushroom-like aroma and cool smoking character.

To anyone who is capable of smoking a whole bowl of this: You are invincible. Join the elite special forces.
I don't know how high my stud rating is, but I gave this thirty puffs before I coughed, gagged, and lay there in a fetal position crying like a girly man with the hiccups.
Fell just short of crying for my mother. I had a TINY TINY TINY meerschaum bowl full of this stuff, and it took my breath away. This stuff is EXTREMELY spicy, and I think is more meant to be added to some other tobacco.
Come to think of it... When you look at the name: BLENDING PERIQUE, that's most likely what they meant!
This stuff makes seventeen ninety two look like gummi bears. Oh, Gosh, the inside of my mouth has a rough texture... The whole inside of my mouth...
To the guys with leather tongues... You must be immortal.

To bad this is not even real perique. If you want the real thing it can be had from the only one left farming it. Percy martin in Grand Pointe Ridge Louisiana. This stuff is actually whats known as green river burley. It's fermented in the same manner leading to perique like qualities, but it's not perique. In fact every blend on the market today claiming to have perique in it actually uses this stuff instead. That's right even the holy grail of vapers. Escudo. It's cheaper and far more abundant. Please do your research before you review.
