A balanced blend with Virginia, Carolina and pure Louisiana perique, this unique square-cut pipe tobacco encompasses flavor, maturity, and mellow smoking. The several growths interact and the skill of the blender is exercised in arriving at a balance to tempt the palate. Rediscover this classic. You will be richly rewarded.

I want to like this. I really tried. But i just couldnt get on board.
The tin note was spectacular. Raisins and hay, with almost a sour note.
It was moist. Very moist. Even after letting it dry for a good 15 min, it couldnt stay lit. I couldnt detect any other flavors besides burning grass. Relight upon relight, it just became miserable to smoke.
I tried it again 2 yrs later. Held a flame this time, but still no other flavor then burnt grass.

I'm sorry, I didn't like it. In fact I liked nothing about it. I threw away the tin after trying it once. It just wasn't for me. I prefer English style tobaccos and chocolate and vanilla aromatics. This one was way outside my preferences, so I threw it away. I don't know if this review is helpful or not, but if it makes any difference, I really like birds and especially parrots, so I was hopeful it would work, but it didn't.

I opened the year old tin and left the top off over night and the moisture level was perfect the next day. Loud and bold is the Perique, while the Virginia is mellow,calm, sweet and understanding. This tobacco blend is totally unbalanced, leaning far to the Perique side. When I first smoked this tobacco I liked it, but after several more bowls I kept noticing the Perique too much. I was getting a foul aftertaste and the Virginia was choked out by the Perique. I really enjoy Vapers but this concoction is not to my liking.
