I discovered this tobacco on this website. I am a fan of the black Cavendish stuff, even just plain. I smoke mostly aromatics and I am always trying to find a black Cavendish better to my taste.
After three years of smoking, I tried a lot of these types of tobaccos but always had to change blends as I never found the perfect one. I decided to look on TR to help me find that rare pearl on the tin side as I always had house blends in the past. I finally found the definitive aromatic that I would enjoy smoking everyday. And I can order it straight to the manufacturer!
As mentioned in other reviews, it has a little bit of a floral taste when you light it up, but very soon, the flavor comes in. No bite, but lot of flavor. I still cannot tell if it is nutty,buttery,chocolatish or got cased with rum or vanilla, it seems to me like none of them and all of them at the time I like this blend because it doesn't seems to have a particular flavoring other than the sweetening of the tobacco. I usually pass on the "too flavorful kind of tobaccos, and this is a perfect balance.
I am finishing my first tin and will order a new one of this excellent aromatic, the best to my taste.

I made a tobaccoreviews.com account solely to review this tobacco. This is my first and maybe only review, and I must say, this is the best aromatic I have ever smoked. I've tried Uhle's and Boswell aromatics, as well as a few others, and have found Ebony to be the finest.
The tobacco itself comes in tiny cubes, that burn slow and full. The smoke is truely incredible, it rivals the fullness of some English and Latakia blends I have tried. As with many aromatics, they can be all smell and no taste, this is NOT the case whatsoever for ebony. This tobacco has a delicious and sweet chocolaty flavor, but the flavor of the tobacco is also ALL there, and is the reason this aromatic excels where others don't. The Black Virginia in this blend adds a lot of natural sweetness that kicks in half way through the bowl and ends up making the second-half of the bowl equal or better than the first half. Which I cannot say for any other aromatic I have smoked. Ebony is a unique aromatic that has none of the drawbacks that most aromatics have. Burns dry and cool, and never bites.
This tobacco also goes great when mixed with some of Peretti's other blends. Ive tried it with their cuban mixture and this combination tastes like an Oliva V series cigar, except much better. I have also mixed it with Tashkent and that is a very interesting and delicious combination as well.
I recommend this tobacco to any pipe smoker, if I could rate higher than 4 stars I would.

An aromatic masterpiece! This is their Black Virginia combined with the Peretti Signature Burley. It produces a smooth and warm/toasty flavor. It is Sweet, actually very sweet but not cloying.It takes only 1 match to get the party started and after that it is smooth sailing for abt. 30 mins. It is very similar to Wilke's Bohemian mixture. A word to the wise, at first light it produces a Lakeland/ Floral taste which I do not care for but within 30 seconds it totally disappears.This is a really tasty and unique aromatic. Try some and you will be pleased. 4 aromatic stars!

This is a really beautiful burley/virginia blend that smokes cool, smooth and delicious, from top to bottom. With low effort puffs, this will give you a long lasting, no fuss high quality smoke. One of my favorites!

I have spent a great deal of time trying various tobaccos looking for one with the following characteristics; tastes full and flavorful, burns well, is not in any way "goopy", and doesn't bite.
The result of my search was LJ Peretti's Ebony. For me it's an all day smoke. It's full of flavor, producing a rich velvety smoke, almost like chocolate, but in the "maduro wrapper of a cigar" type chocolate, not aromatic or flavored tobacco.
It burnes extremely well, never bites, and has an excellent aroma (which to me is part of the experience of pipe smoking.)
