I have not found that perique ghosts a pipe in the way say an English or aromatic blend will. Was the perique you smoked a va/perique or a English/perique blend?
Does it ghost a pipe? Well, hopefully! I agree with those who think Perique improves any blend.
Like Barkar says, it doesn't ghost a pipe like an aromatic, Lakeland, or Latakia blend -- that is,
intrude on what you're currently smoking; but a pipe seasoned richly with Perique has a character of its own.

I remember the first time I smoked a blend with Perique. It's just like Mike said its the bacon of the tobacco world! Wonderful.

As most of you already know, Perique is only made in Saint James Parish, Louisiana in a very small area.

I have read in several places (including the Wiki article above) that most of the Perique we get in our
blends aren't really Perique at all. I have always wondered which 'labels' actually use it and which ones
use burly tobacco.

@TopD very nice info. I knew that perique was a truley american tobacco grew down south, but i figured like most things, other people and places grew it. i guess if its not an american perique, from la. than its not really perique...you have my little hampster runnin in its wheel now.... i wonder what brands only incorporate american grown perique in thier blends???
@ barkar...very true! lol but its nice to know, if your interested in keepin our money in the u.s. as much as possible. why let someone else take advantage of our(america's) contribution to the tobacco market...
