I purchased a couple of ounces of this fine blend at the 2005 Chicago show and, if I remember correctly, I was told that 101 is Peretti?s best selling burley blend. I now know why. This is just a delightfully smooth smoke that harkens back to the halcyon days of pipe smoking in the U.S. when ?Burley was King.? Comprised of granular burley, 101 burns slow and cool, has a sweet, tasty nuttiness all the way through and never even hints at a growl, bark or bite.
I am not sure what the ?Irish aromatic? is or means. They could have very well added a Polish or Russian aromatic as ?a rose (read "Irish aromatic") by any other name would smell as sweet? and it would have fooled me. But the general information at Peretti?s website states, ?When one of the below blends is referred to as aromatic it means just that, an aromatic has been added. It does not mean the tobacco has been cased or sweetened.? Blend 101 is on the verge of displacing Old Master as my favorite burley blend. All burley lovers are advised to try any and all of Peretti?s excellent burley offerings. If your travels take you to Beantown, don?t forget a stop at Peretti?s!
A cigarette is to be smoked. A cigar is to be enjoyed. A pipe is to be savored.
I rate this tobacco 9.9 out of 10.
