So I decided to smoke nothing but LJ Peretti blends during November.
Ordered up 15 different blends.
Used my '93 Peterson B5 Red Spigot and my Savinelli 316Ex as test pipes. Both of these pipes smoke really well.
So far , my favorites are:
Black Virginia
Ebony Cavendish
Midnight
Thanksgiving Day
Blend 432
London Flake
Also tried:
Blend No. 52
Cuban Mixture
Tashkent
Royal
Prince of Wales
Coffee
Boston's Best Cavendish
Belmont
No Name
I am becoming a big Peretti fan. All of their blends burn very well and they all seem to be No Bite (maybe, just maybe, I am getting better at slowing my technique and learning tio sip it).
I usually dry out most of my other tobacco (C&D, MacBaren,Sutliff, GL Pease), but I have found that I really don't have to dry out the Perettis. They smoke well straight out of the package 9I have transferred all into small ball jars).
I am trying to get used to the Burleys which seem to burn really well, but I often don't like the after taste so much. I am not big on nicotine and I have read that Burleys are higher in nicotine (??) so may stay away from them. I seem to like anything with latakia and sometimes perique if just for flavor.
Judging by my list, I guess I am partial to aromatics.
Now that I have some favorites, I think I will order some 8oz paint cans along with the Yuletide. I emailed Peretti today and they said Yuletide is now available.
