Peretti Smith's Own
(3.50)
Something for the lover of stout English mixtures. Bright and fired cured Virginias are generously spiced with Latakia and Perique creating a full flavored yet piquant blend, ideal for the evening hours.

Preface: I have been smoking Dunhill Standard Mixture Medium for near-on 30 years, believing that it has no equal anywhere on earth. But it is gone now, and so I begin a quest for my Holy Grail: A substitute to replace the standard on which all English tobaccos are based.
To this end I ordered (in addition to many other types) 5 blends from Peretti's: Smith?s Own, Century, British Blend, Oriental 40, Omega, & Blend 500.
None of these tobaccos have anything to recommend them, except perhaps the price. Most egregious was the dryness of all of their tobaccos, resulting in a hot smoke that lasted all of 10 minutes when I would normally expect 20-30. Smith?s Own was the best of the lot, but still not recommendable. All blends contained uniformly poor grades of tobacco with little flavor, complexity, or intrigue.
