I have smoked pipes for over thirty years this is perhaps the best Virginia, Burly, and Perique blend that I have experienced. This blend is exactly what I have been seeking in pipe tobacco for all of my years as a pipe smoker.
Peretti's No. 8 slice offers a medium-full flavor and is my y new favorite tobacco. This tobacco fills the surroundings with a pleasant aroma. It is not heavy on nicotine making it perfect as an all-day smoke.
This tobacco strikes a nice balance of aromas. The Perique is not too strong. The burn is even, smooth, cool, and full-flavored. After my initial tin, I purchased an entire pound.
Since purchasing a smaller initial amount, I have smoked this blend consistently. This is an amazing blend that improves with age. I will be purchasing more of this blend to cellar for future enjoyment.
Perect for a nice relaxing evening smoke. Add a couple of fingers of Scotch, or your beverage of choice to a tumbler, relax and enjoy because life is simply too brief to go without this tobacco blend any longer.
If I were to find myself on a desert island, this would be the only tobacco I would need. A most enjoyable smoke.

This is among my favorite blends. It took a while, more than a few bowls, to start to appreciate the complexity. It has an odd sort of funky smell when you open the tin, but don't be put off. Its mostly burley, I think, but with a fair amount of Virginia too. There are some very mild flavorings, possibly cocoa, and maybe even a touch of deer tongue, but could be something else. They are far in the background. It comes in krumble cake form. The taste grows on you. Trust me. Eventually what you have is a strong burley nutty taste combined with probably some stoved Va and some red virgina. But i am guessing. Might have unflavored cavendish too (like McClellands Navy Cavendish). The Perique is hardly noticable but i suspect provides ballast. The strength is at least medium. The nic hit medium, if not a touch more. Its a cool smoke, and very consistent. Its an addictive blend from the great folks at Peretti. One of a kind.

Peretti no 8 slice - Man ,this blend is loaded with flavor . The Burley Perique and Virginias are there together the whole bowl.Nutty ,bready , fruity and spicy . A little cocoa ,molasses and citrus amd plum .i am not a huge Perique guy but it sings in this one ! I see a 8 oz paint can in my future .I recommend not drying this out too much .no bite . Almost medium nic hit . Looking forward to trying the 5 more tobaccos of lJ Peretti i received recently . They are 3 for 3 so far . Very satisfying and delicious blend ! 4

What a terrific flake!!
I made a couple of purchases from the guys in Boston recently and this one really hits the mark. Just a terrific smoking experience....
Very enjoyable Virginia based tobacco and the Perique brings a spicy fruity note...cocoa essences throughout.... Terrific with a strong cup of coffee or a big stout...
Tangy and citrusy with a strong tobacco backbone..
Highly recommended!!

An excellent Vaburper. The virginia is the star, which might resourced from Maclellan with slghtly vineger note. The buley is supportive and add nutty sweetness to it, and the perique contribute plum and minimal chocolate hint. One best blend I find in Peretti's creations.
