Good call. I bought 8 oz. about 2 years ago, jarred it, stuck it in the back of my cabinet, just brushed it off this weekend. Very nice smoke. As others with a much better palate than I have pointed out...the perique is special in this one...much less of a forward tasting pepper but more of a baking spices (think nutmeg, clove) that I taste in the back part of my mouth. I think its nicely done, and probably need to have more in the cellar. The Virginia are a nice balance- not overly sweet, not acidic, just nice.
For me, this is a blend I don't have to think hard or work hard for...and that's a special quality too!
That said, the 2 years in a jar really did it some favors...but that's kind of a big "no duh" that applies most places!
