Samuel Gawith Pure Louisiana Perique
(3.00)
Pure high quality ribbon cut Louisiana Perique. 100% Perique aged and fermented in hickory whiskey barrels for five years which gives it a fruity, slightly vinegary aroma. Cultivated by farmer Percy Martin in Louisiana it is considered the truffle of tobaccos. Predominately used for blending you would need to be brave to smoke it on its own!

Samuel Gawith-Pure Louisiana Perique. If you have a blend to hand that you want to give a bit of 'oomph' to then add a pinch or two of this to it and that should do the job!
This comes in a loose pouch but sadly my expectations of the loose packaging allowing it space to breathe and dry off didn't come to fruition. Okay, it was only a little too damp but considering this has sat in the pouch un-touched for two months it must have been properly saturated at first.
This should have a warning on it saying "caution, don't smoke this neat. Only add to other blends". It's smokeable neat but way to strong. Strong in both nicotine and spiciness.
This burns too hot to smoke on its own. The pipe gets warm in the fingers quickly.
On the plus side although it burns hot it doesn't bite too much!
This is tricky to grade. When it's smoked neat it gets one star but for adding character to a blend it would be worth three stars.
I think as an overall mark two stars is about right!
