I ordered three tins of this. If it isn't real Perique as others have noted then it is a very close clone. I have "real perique" from some years ago in my collection, a very small amount but I compared this to the McConnell's Perique and found it very similar in taste. The nicotine kick was slightly less. It blends well with a variety of other pure tobaccos. Burns clean and dry, do tongue bite(even straight). Cavendish with a pinch of this is a fine smoke in itself. I do recommend this to all Perique fans nevertheless.

Some reviews say this is not real perique, but whether or not this is real perique or a variation on it, it does what it's supposed to do. Provide a peppery, musty and fruity taste to your blends, change the PH to reduce tongue bite and add strength by making nicotine more easily absorbed.
It's a great thing to have on hand and the price is the same as any other tin. I think it's definitely worth it if you like perique. I didn't really notice a difference between this and the "real thing" when I added to blends vs other va/per blends I smoke.

The is my favorite brand of blending Perique. It is packed in a tin, and when opened the paper packing is damp and stained with the exuded moisture of the tobacco. The cut is not a gind or a chop, but thin ribbons, like Dunhill London.
It has the smell of pickled fruitcake (which, in this case is good) but despite the moist packaging, the tobacco is not goopy.
This has been a regular addition to many a tobacco that has started to become a little boring or one dimensional. If I went into details, I might be branded as a heretic, so I will practice a little rare forbearance. Because Perique has been regularly described as a background condiment however, I do not find it too terribly wrong to mix a little in with some of the great English and Virgina brands of the world (if you get my drift). Perique, at least in my book, is a fantastic background note and is like salt and pepper, as opposed to ketchup and mustard.
This is a fine brand of an important blending leaf, and IMHO, should be around to "season" other tobacco as the smoker sees fit.
