Peretti Blend DD
(3.45)
A cool, slow-burning blend that is quite sweet to the taste, and very fragrant. A good after-dinner smoke. It required 4 years to perfect this blend.

This I had one sample at the club, the pipe store where our club is held had it out on the table for anyone to try. This has an intense tin aroma that as usual I cannot put into words other than maybe a strong liquor berry type smell. I packed a bowl of this into my Meerschaum and it really tasted like a classy aromatic. Not sure what the minimum requirement for a review is not that there is actually a rule but I will see if I can try some more in the coming weeks and expand on this if I can. This one is still in production and though it is a good aromatic I have too much cellared right now to buy this. Previous reviews have described anise, honey and graham cracker. As others have stated with the sweetness of this blend, I guess it would go good after dinner. Sort of like a tobacco dessert. Almost spelled desert. The description says bulk but the one I sampled was in the large 8 oz paint can that they use. Not sure the age of this blend though, maybe I can find out.

Bag note smells like that barn wood aroma, some hay, malty oats, and some sweetness. The moisture is perfect and packs like a dream.
The flavor is a semi sweet burley flavor. Woody earthy vegetative grains and a nice sweet note.
Burley tobacco tends to not agree with my PH and this one most definitely did not. Nothing on LJP it’s just my biology. This is a nice slightly aromatic and lightly topped blend. Fans of the OTCs I could see really liking this one.

What? No mention of the "secret" flavoring? L.J. Peretti is olde skool: their "aromatics" do not come from a bottle; rather, they use secret herbs and spices to created subtle, unidentifiable teases and quirks that keep one guessing. This is just such a smoke.
Yes: the other reviewers were right to note the sweetness, the fullness, the good after-dinnerness. But they missed that special "something" that this stuff has. Alas, I cannot identify it further (and Steve, the canny proprietor, merely smiled when I asked... "It's a secret" he responded, as if I were an idiot...)
Try it: you may or may not like it, but you'll come back to it again and again. Just try it and see!

This is what I would consider a desert blend. I find I enjoy this blend after an evening meal with a good cup of black kenyan coffee. The tobacco is a chop-cut blend that packs easily by the gravity method and seldom needs a false-light to get going. There is an underlying subtle sweetness throughout the run of the bowl. Due to this fact, I recommend this blend as, an after-dinner smoke, (just like they suggested in their writeup for this blend). A nice finish to a nice evening meal. It burns to a dry grey ash with little or no dottle. The main component I believe is burley.
