Not having smoked a blend with perique I was perhaps a bit anxious and leery about this blend. I must confess that the only reason for trying this was that for years I raised beagles and figured what the hell I love the breed so the blend must be good. Opened the tin and was met by a strong vinagery aroma...must be the perique...a little off putting. Packed well, lit well and God, I was in heaven. Surprisingly the smoke tasted of green olives...not a bad thing...love green olives. I wouldn't call this an everyday smoke, but it does well when layered or mixed with your regular blends. By itself I would call it a very good change of pace smoke. Rating is 3 stars only because I can't see smoking this daily by itself.
5/15/13...have become a Perique junkie...God, help me...Has made it into my daily rotation and deserves an unqualified 4 stars.

The tobacco was in very broken flake form, but perhaps that was just this tin. A very straight forward VaPer, the Virginias were darker than I expected, so for me this would have been better as an autumn smoke than a summer one. The Perique was far from overpowering, but provided a very nice structure for the Virginias. VaPer fans, and those who like Va's on the slightly darker side would likely enjoy this. Since I know there are many tobaccos out there I would rate a 4, the question arises would I rebuy this particular tobacco, assuming my tastes don't change much more. In this case, the answer is maybe, but I haven't yet.

A beautiful looking broken flake with a few full flakes. Tin aroma is the rich raisiny smell of a quality VaPer. The initial light and first ¼ of the bowl is a medium tasting balanced Virginia. Neither sweet, sour or grassy. Almost boring. Afterwards the Perique starts kicking in with the Virginia adding a light richness and a little spice. Continuing on the Perique picks up strength but never goes beyond a medium spice. Towards the end the Perique becomes mild and everything settles into a pleasant VaPer. I smoked on an empty stomach in the AM and didn't even notice any nicotine. This is not a tinned version of McClelland - Bulk No. 2015 Virginia Perique Flake.
