Peretti Blend No.333
(3.27)
A splendid blend for those who like a fairly heavy tobacco that is not aromatic, but is full of flavor. Very slow burning and cool.

Blend 333 is a non-aromatic cube-cut burley sweetened with a touch of molasses and enriched by a small amount of Virgina leaf. It packs, lights, and burns easily. The room note and flavor are rich and pleasant. This is an excellent blend and one of the few Burley blends I enjoy ? its similar to LJP?s BPC (Burley plug cut, which lacks the VA) and W (which is the same as 333 with Latakia instead of VA).

Having smoked several of Peretti?s burley blends, I think there is a ?fine line? that distinguishes one from the next. The one thing they do have in common is that they are all superb. What distinguishes 333 from the other of Peretti?s burley blends is that it has powdered deer tongue added. There isn?t a large amount and you probably won?t see it with the naked eye but if you have smoked C&D Crooner, where the deer tongue is quite evident, you will note the similarity. The Peretti burleys just beg to be scooped rather than packed, preferably in pipes have larger bores. It has good burning qualities and a solid, nutty burley taste and can provide herbal notes due to the deer tongue. Although largely one dimensional, the flavor can pleasantly intensify as you progress down the bowl.
A cigarette is to be smoked. A cigar is to be enjoyed. A pipe is to be savored.
I rate this tobacco 9.0 out of 10.

Appearance: Definitely an American cut, a mixture of cubes and granulated pieces (sometimes called flakes by American blenders). The color is mostly ?burley brown? with some darker leaf present.
Aroma: Burley smell with more sweetening than their Blend 111.
Packing: This blend does not like to be tamped, except at the top and that only slightly. Just scoop it in and smooth out the top.
Lighting:: Lights easily, but not too quickly. The usual two matches will get it going nicely
Initial flavor: Good nutty burley taste with a bit of sweetness that I can?t identify. Nice mouth feel.
Mid-bowl: Not very complex, but tasty and satisfying. Burns slow and cool and is great for being outdoors. Moderate nicotine level felt by me, YMMV.
Finish: Just a tad stronger at the end, but clean. Does leave a residual aroma in the pipe, but its not persistent.
Summary: An excellent outdoor blend, particularly in warm weather. Maybe better in a cob than in a briar, if you?re worried about the lingering aroma.

Full-Bodied Burley, with a rich spicey taste that increases as one progresses the length of the bowl. Easy to pack, I just use the gravity method and gently tamp my way up to the top of the bowl. One false-light, then off to some quality down-time. The tobacco burned cleaned all the way to the bottom of the bowl with very little dottle at the end. It ends with a nice grey/white ash. A superb burley blend!
