Charles Fairmorn Black Bayou Mist
(2.75)
A really full bodied Latakia blend made the traditional way. With the best Virginia grade tobaccos, the finest oriental leaves, dark fired Kentucky and a good pinch of Louisiana Perique and of course a good amount of smooth smoky Latakia. Full flavor, but not overly strong. A pleasant, gentle, and cool smoke.

2014 Update: Opened up a jar that I stashed away 5 years ago, The blend has aged very well, with the Perique behaving itself quite nicely in concert with a mellowed dose of VA and a smoother Latakia flavor. Good stuff!
The previous reviewer referred to this as Cajun Crack, and I think that is a clever (and hilariously accurate) depiction. In this blend, the Perique adds more of a tanginess than a pepperiness (at least to my palate), and is consistent throughout a bowlfull, playing off the Latakia and VA components quite nicely. I would liken it to Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend, in which the Perique is more prominent and nibbles at one's tongue. This is a 'kinder, gentler' Perique-laden Balkan that, along with Bill Bailey's, is one of my favorites. Definitely worth a try.
