Greets you with a delightful tin note of stale vomit and bad breath upon first opening, but thankfully this doesn't translate to the flavour when smoking. The smoke flavour is that of peppery hay, plums and brandy and almost an alcohol taste to it. The nicotine hit is like a punch to the gut, I was still feeling the aftereffects of it about 1-2 hours after smoking it the first time and I'm pretty experienced with nicotine. Not a blend to be taken lightly, treat it with respect. 1 star taken away for the vile tin note, I feel like I have to wash my hands after touching it.

I purchased this blend after looking for some more intense Perique blends. The tin has notes of wet hay, yeast, and funky fermented flavors. A little barnyard as well. If you like complex sour beer and farmhouse ales, you’ll feel right at home. It came to me as a broken flake but others may find more intact flakes.
The broken flake made it easy to pack and the moisture was on the higher end of smokeable but I didn’t feel the need to dry it out. It smoked very well and dry, with few relights until the end of the bowl.
Bradley from Stuff and Things on YouTube described this as a “blunt instrument” of a VaPer and I tend to agree. The funky, spicy notes from the Perique are much more upfront than say Escudo, which are complimented by the sweet Red Virginias that fill out the blend with notes of stewed fruit. Normally a gentle, slow cadence is required to smoke more subtle VaPers but I found it difficult to get this blend to smoke harsh. I could puff fairly fast, and while it was a little hot, I got little in the way of tongue bite.
I get a substantial amount of nicotine from this blend, so puffing slow and on a full stomach benefits you more in that regard. The description of “the Nightcap of VaPers” is fitting so take your time if you’re sensitive to nicotine.
I thoroughly enjoyed this blend and I’ll be putting it into my rotation.
