I was given about half an ounce of what the gentleman referred to as a "true St. James perique". He said that it came from the original farm in Louisiana. He said to mix it with a straight VA at about 5%. He made it sound kind of rare which I do not know if it is or not. Does anyone know...

Are there any commercially available cigars that use Perique in the blend of tobaccos? I've made three different types (processed three different ways) and have sent samples out for review (another site). All reviews have been positive except when the Perique was used as a wrapper. I'd like...

So on the way in to work this morning I was smoking LNF from a new batch I picked up last week. I noticed, for the first time, something that reminded me of black pepper. Is that the Perique showing through? I didn't notice it in the old batch, but maybe the ounce or so I used to have just...

I've been smoking tobaccos since young, and enjoying the pipe for about 3 years now. Those who have been following my progression over Puff or Youtube know I'm mainly a straight virginia and latakia guy. Perique and most burley blends just don't do it for me (although I love Stonehaven and St...

I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this - nausea after smoking a VA/Per blend, or other Perique containing blends? Both Escudo and Frog Morton on the Bayou taste interesting while smoked, but I find myself feeling pretty unwell by the end of, or toward the end of the bowl. Does not...

Hello guys, I believe Jeff already told me where I can buy straight perique and the such to make my own blends. My buddy who works at a local smoking lounge- 70/70 cigars is a little nutty! He was joking about smoking straight perique and I said "it can be done"! If someone could point me in...

I just started into the land of VAPERs recently with escudo and I LOVE the black pepper taste you get from it. I have heard through my research that this is mainly due to the Perique and was wondering what other blends have this leaf and flavor in it that has that punch that escudo does. I'm ok...

There is a new Perique tobacco on the horizon. It is going to be called Decade Series Perique. It has been aging for 10 years. Check out some of the story and exclusive video here: New Vintage Decade Series Perique Tobacco Announced

Ok, now I have a question. I have tried two different Perique blends now, and they taste like I am smoking tobacco with a air freshener in it. One blend was MacBaren Acadian Perique, and the other was GL Pease Barbary Coast. Is this just me. My preferred tobaccy is English/Latakia blends so...

This is a brand new offering from our tongue nibbling Danish friends at MacBaren. I went looking for their "official" description on the MacB site, but there is no mention of this blend! Oh well, lifting the text from smokingpipes instead: I got a sizable (rather, huge) sample from SlowT. This...

Thought this might be of interest. Nice article on the business of growing perique. Perique has made a fiery comeback due to outside investors who are breathing new life into St. James Parish's uniquely pungent tobacco | Money - NOLA.com

Hey guys, I'm not a usual pipe-smoker, more of a seasonal, winter-time, cozy up next to the fireplace and puff type of smoker. I have been rolling my own cigarettes for the past few days with this Drum Perique blend cigarette tobacco. It tastes very much like pipe-tobacco, and was wondering if...

I picked up some Perique tonight because it is a name that sounded familiar from this forum but I cant seem to find the threads I was reading about it now. Do I want to smoke it straight or use as mixer type baccy? Sorry if this has already been asked on here but I can't seem to find the answer...

Ok, supposedly it's been discussed before. K&K insists there is perique in Hal O' The Wynd. I've never tasted it in the original blends and I don't taste it now. But perique in Brown Clunee, Black Virginia and Dark Fragrant? I don't think so! Anyone smoke those since they started being made...

I'm looking to try some blends that have perique in them. I think there's a FM blend that has perique, but other than that I don't know of any. Anyone know of any good perique blends? I'd also prefer if it was the "real" stuff from down south, but the "imitation" perique would be fine as well...

People say it has a 'peppery' taste... I'm not sure that's what I would call it; to me it's more sweet and tangy but then again I'm new to this so maybe I'm detecting something else. So question is: is the "peppery" like salt and PEPPER or like bell-PEPPERS?

I really want to understand the flavors of perique. I understand cyprian latakia, due to my nightly dance with penzance. I am looking for a perique forward blend that will right off the bat speak to me and tell me what exactly perique is. I want to taste it, and know its characteristics. Could I...

Recently I bought an ounce and a half of perique (an ounce from one place, half from another, just to compare the two) for blending, but I haven't realy gotten around to it yet. Basically, I'm just looking for any tips: what blends have you tried that work with perique (CC and some local bulk...

So the weather's cooled down considerably in the last couple of days and with that my tobacco choices have changed a little and was in the mood for something different; decided I'd try perique for the first time. Upon opening the bag I bought from my b&m I couldn't help being intrigued by the...

I have noticed that blends containing Perique or Latakia, either together are not, only result in a perfumy flavor to me. It is almost like walking into a headshop or something and tasting the burning incense. Not that I frequent headshops, just the only thing I can think to use as an...
