Lightest Perique?

[crawdad]

Looking for a good VaPer with the least amount of Perique, either by quantity or perceived so. My nose on the retrohale doesn’t care much for Perique.

I had some Telegraph Hill by G.L. Pease today, and the Perique-ness seemed very minimal, a friend of mine who was also smoking with me didn’t know what we were smoking, so he tried to guess what it was composed of, and was very surprised when I told him that there was. It’s not my favorite, as it burns pretty quick, but, it’s certainly decent.

OGS, Drexel VIII, and Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia.

Orlik Golden Sliced has the least of any blend I've tried. Just barely there.

+1 OGS has the least amount of perique in a VA/per I have ever tried. Telegraph has quite a bit in comparison. Stratford has the least in the Pease lineup.

What about perique is the problem? Too spicy or too_____?

I'm not a fan of peppery perique but I can't get enough of plummy/figgy perique. Quantity isn't the issue for me.

 

[cshubhra]

Mathematically the correct answer to this problem is ANY straight Virginia

Too spicy. I prefer the plummy/figgy side.

Another vote for OGS... in fact, I think of it more as a lightly topped citrusy VA than a VaPer. Not that long ago the label had most folks thinking it was a VaBur, and many argued it had no perique at all.
Gawith & Hoggarth Louisiana Flake, despite the name, is pretty mellow on the Perique. The coco topping makes it taste more like Raisinets than anything spicy.
GLP Stonehenge is nearly the same, but it seems like I notice the perique earthyness a little more in it.. might just be the age (or lack thereof) on my stashes.

That will help people make recommendations.

Buy a pound of Stokkebye Bullseye Flake and smoke it 5 years later.

I'm a huge fan of WCC Old Dominion but if you smoke it like a freight train it will get hot which can come across as spicy. Smoked/sipped slowly it is fantastic. With a year or more age it is plum nirvana when sipped.

I’m with you Crawdad. A little perique is great, but more than a little bugs me.

I did. Four more more years then by your recommendation.

 

[edger]

Sutliff Victoria. Economical too.

You stay away from Bayou Morning Flake and I'll stay away from the blends mentioned here

Stratford has even less. TH is the more middleground and Fillmore being the heaviest of GLP Va/Per

By weight? Telegraph Hill and Elizabethan Mixture was very mild to me. Had some serious issues with Davidoff Flake Medallion and perique some time ago, but got used to it.
