Peretti Blend W
(3.20)
A medium-strength, slow-burning, cool-smoking blend. Very smooth with a nut-like flavor. Because of its smoking qualities, it gives a mild effect.
Notes: A blend of dense cube-cut burley with only a gentle touch of latakia. Blend ‘W’ is a solid blast of classic Peretti burley flavor with an added dimension. The latakia brings out the nut-like quality of the burley. On paper, it’s simple. In the bowl, it works oh so well.

One need not look far to find Burley cube with added Latakia. If one is fortunate, he or she will find that there are other noticeable tobaccos in the mix because, while I love both Burley and Latakia for their own individual qualities, these do not "play well with others" when left solely to themselves, at least not in Peretti's Blend W. They do, in fact, seem to cancel my favorite qualities of the other. In this blend, in the proportions used, I found MAD--Mutually Assured Destruction. No satisfaction is left standing.
Having "cut my teeth," so to speak, on American English-type blends, the combination of Burley and Latakia can be an unparalleled thrill; try Peretti's D-7485 for example. But in Blend W...the thrill is gone.
I have enormous respect for the House of Peretti; they haven't been around all these years for nothing. Like their Blend 33, I find Blend W to be an interesting and valuable blending tobacco, though unsatisfying when smoked by itself.
For those who MUST have at least a suggestion of Latakia, or for those who want to add smoothness and class to a "drugstore" tobacco, this is an excellent weapon in the arsenal. By itself, however, it leaves me flat.
Two out of four stars...for the quality, alone.
