Peretti British Blend
(3.44)
One of our more full bodied blends, similar to many expensive English blends. This blend is so carefully constructed that its Perique and Latakia components compliment each other perfectly.
Notes: Peretti's "British." Blended first in 1922, this tobacco is the first commercially produced English mixture in the States.

Pouch appearance of half light tobacccos, 1/4 black, and 1/4 dark brown.
I'm detecting a floral/mint flavoring and aroma in this as well, but not near as strong as 9507. Packs and lights fairly easy, initial lighting only takes 2 matches.
This blend stays even throughout the bowl. Floral, spicy Perique, and mild smokiness from the Latakia. I do not detect any sweetness from the included Virginias at all. Burns down to a dark gray ash, all the while cool and clean, no hints of biting. I really don't see this a a full bodied blend, but something that you could smoke a few times a day without being overwhelmed.

I love Peretti tobacco's:cut, top note, leaf quality and blender's art...however this one is not my favorite. British blend is too sibtle for me. It is almost tasteless other than the peppermint topping that is signature to Peretti. From tin note to the bottom of the bowl. I get a hint of grass and qood from the VA and Oriental, the Latakia is unnoticeable but for a mild swetness. I am almost trough 2 oz's and have another 8 oz tin and will see what it is loke with some age but in the mean time I will stick to #8 slices, Omega and D 7485 among others

This is a smokey blend of high quality leaf and by smokey i don't mean latakia laden. The latakia used here is very sparingly and adds to the aroma and sweetness. The almost medium spicey, woody,and slightly soapy floral taste is the result of the turkish, perique and virginia tobaccos mingling and intertwining. There is a slight but noticeable topping and at first i thought it was a floral, citrus, soapy combination but once you realize that it is peppermint it kind of sticks with you and you taste it almost every puff. There is a slight sweetness to the taste but it can turn bitter without proper cadence. I rate the overall strength of taste and mouth feel as a notch below medium. The nic strength less than that but more than mild. It will not be a rebuy for me as there are much more flavorful englishes out there and some darn good ones made by L.J.P. that are more suited to my tastes. A 2 star tobacco for me but if you are looking for nearly undetectable latakia and a bit of spicey synergy between the leaves and slight peppermint topping this one may be for you.

The Brit's can keep this blend. The flavor and aroma were quite flat even with the addition of perique. This blend smoked slowly and did not produce a good volume of smoke...partly due to a higher latakia content. This came to me pretty dry but I am going to let this get closer to bone-dry and see how it smokes later. For someone who likes this blend it would be a good keeper since its not that expensive which is a plus in the current economy and anti-smoking climate....24 bucks for 8 ounces. If I end up not liking this I will keep it in a zip-lock bag and let the nice unlit aroma condition the air in my cellar (the bottom drawer in my nightstand..I love the smell of Latakia even if its in a blend I don't care for).
