I thought it was pretty good. I looked, but didn't see it posted here.

Most people in St. James have a story about someone who tried to smoke or chew perique straight. It never ends well.

cynyr: Thanks for posting. I've always thought it would be great fun to go to St. James Parish to see the periqaue farm(s).
Great read, too.

The version I saw didn't even mention the word pipe. The only use of perique mentioned was in American Spirit cigarettes.

I trotted off a short letter to the editor, but it's safe to say, it won't be used.

Interesting to see The New York Times doing articles on tobacco.

Great Reading..Maybe it's just wishful thinking,but I think I'm seeing signs that pipe smoking is on the upswing

Yes, it is shocking to see The Times do anything pro-tobacco. I'm glad y'all enjoyed it.

Yet another ditto to the thanks for posting. The story of Perique probable appeals the Times' love nostalgia/underdog stories.
