Not long ago I posted here to say that I couldn't abide Perique; that more than disliking it, I found I had so averse a reaction to it that I wondered -- only half in jest -- if I might be allergic.
This morning, smoking the last of a bit of SPC Plum Pudding I got in the last Box Pass, and taking a moment to add it to my rolling PAD list for purchase next time I visit SP.com, I thought, "This stuff sure is swell. Bet it gets high marks in reviews."
So I click over to tobaccoreviews.com and begin reading only to find . . . Well it's no surprise to anyone who knows and loves that iconic blend from our damp northwestern brothers, but it rather stunned me to find that it contains. . . Perique.
I suppose the honorable thing to do would be to track down and amend the original thread, where I held forth in detail about how no amount of Perique was permissible in my pipes. But, ya know, that'd be a lot of work. Hence this post.
It's just another instance that goes to show how pleasingly complex and satisfying this past time is.
