John Patton's Cool Hand Fluke from 4noggins. Highly acclaimed, definitely Perique forward (40%), economical (it's a bulk blend), tasty and, equally important, 4noggins ships internationally. A Perique lover's "must try" because of its earthy, musty, stewed fruit flavor -- pungent, but it never struck me as excessively peppery.
PipesAndCigars.com's "Hearth & Home Signature" product line has a number of "peppery" VaPers, but unfortunately they don't ship internationally. But if you have someone in the U.S.A. who would forward the stuff to you, then check out: Louisiana Red, Rolando's Own,
AJ's VaPer; and to lesser degrees of intensity, Anniversary Kake, Virginia Spice, and L J Heart Virginia.

When a blend reaches that point of "too much perique" it isn't what you'd expect it to be. Smoking straight perique is not the insanity that people make it out to be. I've done it several times. It's not crazy hot, peppery, or bitey at all. It's just very cigarettey, sort of bland, boring, IMO. I think that as a seasoning, a little goes a lot further in taste than too much. Also, I didn't find smoking straight perique to be crazy high in nicotine either, not like a rope at all.
Cool Hand Fluke is good stuff though. Give it a try.
The strongest VaPer on steroids that I've had is H&H's Freight Train. It's a good kick in the head.

mso489 - I've always thought of the two as like Salt and Pepper to food. Sure a scrambled egg is good but with S&P its even better. Or like grilling over charcoal yea a gas grill gets the job done but who doesn't love the taste of a burger or steak cooked over good ole all American backyard grill charcoal. They as you said should complement not dominate.
C&D Bayou Nights is pretty heavy handed in the Perique department. As is Daughters & Ryan Rimboche AB and AP.
Just my $0.02.
Happy hunting!
