   Thank you for posting your thoughts - I am just being acquainted with the Peretti blends.

   Tonight - thanks to Rickpal I tried Cuban Mixture which I thought was pretty good. Has cigar leaf in it (natch) and the overall taste is smooth without being overbearing. Will have to order more once my sample is gone.

   I am eagerly awaiting a shipment that will include Tashkent & B94 - plus 4 ounces of Royal Blend (One of my favorite English Blends) and #432 a Cavendish blend with a smidge of latakia and Coconut essence.

   Keep on posting updates on what you think about the blends - that is how I get my inspiration to try new things.

   Ps if you love a full flavored English - Try Smith's Own.

   Just had the 1072, really liked this burley blend...

   As they list on their site:
   In honor of our 140th Anniversary, we are pleased to introduce our newest Burley, "1072". An exquisite Burley blend, "1072" is has a deep, rich taste. Delicious and profoundly satisfying.

   Also just put out some London flake and Omega for some dry-time/smoke'in tomorrow. They both smell amazing in the tin

   Yes Rickpal I do like it. Don't know if I will order a lot more - but it certainly deserves a good solid try - maybe 2 - 4 more ounces. Finished off my evening with 1/2 bowl of Peretti's Royal Mixture and followed by a 1/2 bowl of 432 - I just love 432. But then I am absolutely nuts about the taste of coconut. When I was in Hawaii - I had Macadamia nut pancakes with hot coconut syrup. Absolute heaven.

   Maybe I should acquire some L.J. Peretti blends to smoke in my new L.J. Peretti pipe

   Peretti blends are high quality leaf, still haven't had a blend I didn't like,
   and I'm slowly working myself through all of them

   Start'in my day off right with London flake (if you like MC's, you will love this stuff)
   in an IMP meer...a fantastic Va/Per, sour/sweet and spicy....o-o-it's magic...

   Smith's Own is a Lat Bomb for sure and a super blend if you're into Latakia.
   333 or BPC are hard to beat for Burley's
   Tashkent is a fantastic Oriental Blend.
   Those are some of my favs.
   But it's all so much personal preference.
   Enjoy what you like.

   Just had a nice bowl of D-7485 in a Sav Saturnia 111KS, a GREAT blend...if you like SPC Plum Pudding or H&H Black House you will really like this Peretti blend

   From Peretti's website on D-7485:
   A masterpiece of the blender's art. A blend that lends itself to gracious living. This blend of a number of tobaccos smokes cool and mild. Made originally for the late Hon. Ramsay MacDonald. Considered by many to be a perfect "all day smoke"

   Next up...tomorrow w/sunrise will be Omega...stay tuned

    Today - my order came in - I tried - Peretti's B-94 followed by Tashkent in a Aldo Morelli Hawkbill. The B-94 is a rum soaked full bodied burley blend - very tasty. The Tashkent is an English with Orientals - no Va's or Burleys. Very, very heavy - not for Wimps!

    I've smoked Peretti's blends for years. Some of my favorites include D-7485, Cuban Mixture, BPC, and Park Square.

    Funny that Peretti's got me started in piping in '61 during college. But I gravitated to 759 and Nightcap/Aperitif.965 so fast I never looked at those big jars. I'm now making up for lost time: everytime I got to Boston, I make it a point to hit Peretti's several times. I'm working my way through their huge list of blends that they have been doing for decades. Quite a few have made it to my Top100 Cellar. In fact on one of my visits, I lucked into Docwatson and we had a wonderful time sampling out of the jars. Doc sure knows a lot about our sport.
