I bought 4 tins (100g) of this for $44 so it was a good bargain. My research tells me in was only made in 98/99, so if you find a tin it probably will be well aged. For me the Perq seems to have taken over the blend while aging, it has a strong vineger taste to it. The Cav is barely detectable. However is is quality and different. I've found it good for blending, adding some dept to boring blends. I've also has a great success turning it into a Scottish blend by adding some MacB's whiskey blend. If you like a vineger Va/per....you like it.

Tin Aroma: a mild and mellow virginia blend. The perique is less noticeable than I thought it would be.
Physical Characteristics: a light colored mixture, with the barest minimum of darker perique strewn throughout. A very short cut, which makes gravity-filling a pipe easy, even if I do occasionally get a stray piece of tobacco sucked through the stem.
Notes: On first light, the virginias, especially the lemon variety surge to the forefront. They provide the dominant flavors throughout the bowl, with the perique in a strictly supporting role as 'salt and pepper' here. The black cavendish helps to keep the blend on an even keel, and bite free, despite it being what I would consider medium strength, and full bodied. The various grades of virginias dance around one another throughout the smoke, providing a good amount of variation and suprise, inside of a framework of a solid virginia blend. The perique is a bit more noticeable towards the end of the bowl, but never overwhelming.
