I just brought in my first ever blending perique. I got the McClelland's.
I've got some other blending tobaccos I've been experimenting with and wasn't sure how the addition of perique would go.
I EXPECTED spicy, robust, tangy, and a necessity to properly proportion the burleys, VA, Izmiir, and Latakia I already had.
Well...my first few additions to a couple of my experiments tells me that this perique adds sweetness, smoothness, and helps all the others to reach their potential.
I've not added much, and still taste the difference and it is good, so good that it might be called magical.
