Thanks, Tom. Ordered a couple of ounces to give it a go, just to see if it had more of a zing than other blends with its high perique content.

I recently bought an ounce and didn't find it as good as other C&D blends. I wish I would have seen this post earlier, I would have sent you the rest of the oz. that I purchased.
On a somewhat related note. The C&D blend Mountain Camp, is the same recipe as Bayou Night except the Latakia and Perique percentages are swapped. Now that blend is one of my favorite bulk blends that C&D makes.

I to was taken by the hype an reviews I read, only I was a bigger fool I got 16oz of it. harsh is a good description of it, also got billybudd, Havana daydream, haunted house an bookstore . my opinion disappointing all. i'll stick with my irish flake an nightcap, Kentucky bold.
First bowl, a Savinelli 904 alligator.
Charring light- definitely latakia, and more plum than pepper from the perique.
Smoking- latakia still faintly present but more a framework to build the flavor around. Still more plum from the perique, and it mingles nicely with the nutty sweetness of the burley. A sour on the back of my tongue pleasantly comes and goes that I attribute to the Turkish, and my guess would be that the presence of Virginia is what is subduing the perique's pepper down to a wonderfully strong plum.
Conclusion- easily an all day smoke for my palate, and have ordered a full pound after my initial smoke. Good stuff!
Happy smoking all!

On my third bowl of this, and it could well be falling into my top ten. Believe Constellation will be my next to try.
