This is one of the blends that will bite if you are not patient with it. Don't confuse the "picante" spiciness of the perique with "bite" though.
The aroma's and flavors are well described above. I seem to have noticed a little more of the oak flavor than most though. Just in the background as it should be in a fine red wine. In fact, this tobacco goes well with a good zinfandel or shiraz. Very complimentary, not contrasting.

Well, I followed Blue Train one day with my first bowl of this stuff. Blue Train was a waltz with Ginger Rogers, and the bowl of Irish Oak was one minute in the ring with George Foreman. The nicotine was a real gut punch and I thought I was going to lose it. Oddly enough, I later smoked a tin of this, and didn't find it too bad. I'm not a great Cavendish fan, I find it too colorless, but the Perique gives this blend some much needed character. The scent of the tin is very much a whiskey/oak smell, no doubt because of its aging in sherry casks. I'm sorry, I don't know a Zimbabwean Orange from a Shirley Temple, or Thailand Burley from Hurly Burly. Lately I've found that following Frog Morton up with this one isn't too bad. Moisture content is OK right out of the tin. It packs well in a medium sized bowl, and stays lit pretty well. A former pipe smoker thought the room note was pretty good, but to me it's indifferent, not notable. I'm going to withold final judgement on this one and come back to the review later.

Nice nose in the can, burns a little hot. More tounge bite than I like and enough nicotine to put you into the video game room in Vegas. Whew! I'll probably smoke it again when I crave a real fix. I suspect that a cigarette smoker (which I'm not) would like this one, but it's not my favorite.
