I have been smoking this blend for a few days exclusively and it is one hell of a tasty blend. Virginia and Perique with a pinch of cigar leaf and a sweet topping is all it takes to make a Va/Per lover happy. I tried it in a Mark Twain cob and different briar pipes and (sorry Michael) it tastes better in a cob. It can be an all day smoke for sure as it is very smooth and doesn't bite at all. I would also recommend it to those who want to smoke Va/Pers but can't stand the full-bodied spicy taste coming from the Perique.
