I ordered 14 oz. of Picayune. I like D&R tobaccos and wanted to "punch up" my base of Kentucky Select. Wow. I first tried it half and half--and got the jolt of a lifetime. Picayune is NOT for the faint of heart. To my mind, the perique dominates. The oriental flavor does come through but is not prominent. This tobacco is a tangled ribbon cut, very nice, and it pulls apart easily. The moisture content is just about right. Picayune packs very nicely, does not need relighting, and burns evenly. As I mentioned, I got this to beef up the nicotine in my blend, not for any subtleties. I now make it 25% of the mix, and it is plenty strong enough for me (and I like nicotine) at that level. The 14 oz. will last me quite a while. This is a very good, solid tobacco for the purpose to which I put it, and I highly recommend it.
