Just had my first bowl of Presbyterian Mixture. Was outdoors with a slight breeze. Taste was average but what I enjoyed was that I found it to be a cool smoke. It burned quite evenly which was a nice surprise. Flavor improved at mid bowl. Not spectacular but a keeper none the less.
Started out today with P.A., which I've been known to smoke while sleep-walking.
Strike two was PS Lux Bull's Eye Flake, just to empty-out the Mason jar in preparation to receive its new occupant...
A freshly opened tin of Germain's Royal Jersey Perique Mixture, in a Rattray's bulldog.
I'd provide an extended comment on my first experience with this highfalutin', hoity-toity blend, but as with the
cheap women with whom I've fallen in love, I tend to not have the greatest perspective after just one smoke (or poke).

Three Friars in a Digby . Cortez please tell us about the Germain's Royal Jersey Perique Mixture.
By special request
... and after only two bowls...
Germain's Royal Jersey Perique Mixture is a moist, thin ribbon cut bordering on shag that is both smooth and strong (nicotine.) Most pipe smokers will find it, at least at first, to lean too much toward the taste of cigarettes. But if one patiently sips it, and probes it engaging mouth, nose and sinuses, its wonderfully sophisticated flavors release in a most pleasant fashion.
I can't help but feel that it has an Oriental component that isn't disclosed on the label. A taste that comes through quite clearly, and all the time, is the pungent flavor of giant green olives (with some, but not too much, of their sour component). The Virginia is fruity, yet with a tinge of bitter (in a good way), and the Perique is very subdued in every respect. Slight cigar-like room note, but pleasant. This is one of the very few tobaccos I can smell while smoking. If your smoking tastes lean toward the cigarette-like blends, then this is very good. Otherwise, spend your $10 on something you know you like.
