Peretti Blend D-9507
(3.14)
Our most unusual English-type tobacco flavored with rich, cured Virginia, blended with fine Dubeck Turkish. You will find it mild and smooth.
Notes: In a time when every tobacco is described as "unusual," we at Peretti's strive to not state the obvious. D-9507 was originally a blend that was developed for one of our customers. He wanted a tobacco that had body, some spice and an underlying sweetness. Master blender, Robert Peretti, devised a blend of natural fire-cured Cavendish, Perique, and a hint of the finest Dubeck Turkish. Unusual, yes, but deep-flavored, satisfying and luscious.
Kind of an oddball, but truly delicious. We have yet to find a similar mixture. We utilize a base of fire-cured Cavendish and blend a small amount of Perique and Dubeck Turkish. D-9507 is a smooth smoking mixture with subtle sweetness and a good measure of fine piquancy.

Peretti - D 9507
Aromatic crossover, what?? Nah, it's about like Luxury Bullseye Flake in this sense: straight tobacco with something a touch sweet added (cocoa?) that mostly burns off by mid-bowl. I don't really notice it in the room note. I would describe this as something closer to a Va/P than anything aromatic.
The virginia is sweet with those dark chocolate notes. The oriental varietal has some mustiness, a light kitchen spice type nuttiness (almost reminiscent of...nutmeg maybe? it's not as "dark" a nuttiness as a burley), and some rich cigar-type notes. The perique adds a slight background spice hit. Nicotine is more potent than I expected and is most noticeable around mid-bowl. There's something in this that adds a certain "thickness" to the smoke and I suspect the oriental or better yet maybe that's the black cavendish. I'm impressed with the amount of body this smoke has, I wouldn't quite call it "full-bodied" but it's edging in that direction. It's not a super complex smoke but just solid and good all around and I do really like the way this evolves across a bowl. No bite. My favorite of Peretti's blends and one of my top 10 favorites from any blender. Four and a spot in the TR favorites she goes.

There's something to be said when a blend is just passable and nothing else the description from the manufacturer is very accurate Virginia, Turkish but I have a feeling there's also a bit of unflavored cavendish in the mix, is very pedestrian smoke nothing jumps out at me as a buy me again blend, is not the easiest to pack since the tobacco is cut in chunks more than ribbons is astringent as sweet and sour sauce can be at the same time when you just need a blend to puff I'm to pay attention of what's going this is great overall I might remember this blend down the line as being good but as of now I wish I could give it just 2.5 stars which by rounding up will make it a 3.

A curious English of the Oriental variety. I enjoyed it's rich Oriental taste but was kept from being satisfied because it kept teasing me that there should be latakia in the mix. And of course there is no latakia in the mix. Curious, and well worth a try.

Very good, mild blend. I would liken it to Rattray's Jock's Mixture, or certain mild crossovers. This has no real overt flavoring, but does have a sweetness that is just slightly more than the natural Virginia sweetness. Smokes well in any size pipe, and has never bitten. A well behaved gentleman. It could stand a more liberal hand in the oriental department. That would help round out the sweetness, and increase the flavor. Good all dayer.
