Reading through his book again, 21st Century Guide, and he says that perique is literally soaked in plum juice and fruit pulp before it's pressed and fermented. He says that!
I was told by multiple reputable people that it's just soaked in water and all the plummy funky goodness is natural to the tobacco.
I want to believe them and think that Hacker is a fibber and perique isn't flavored!
