L.J.Peretti's Blends

The coupon code was "INSTAPERETTI" (without the quotes). It didn't work from my iPad, but it did work from my iMac; not sure why.

Recent shopping... Tashkent, Cuban Mixture, and Royal in the paint cans; they have other stuff too!

[Just a sampling of what I've bought this month from LJP.]

Very nice ... love the Tashkent and Cuban but still need to try the Royal.

If you like a strong English, try Smith's Own. Only real men need apply.

Peretti's is one of the last TRUE Hand Blenders in the USA. Experiment and try as many blends as you can, you will find a favorite blend guaranteed. Tashkent, Royal and 9575 are a few of my favorites. Along with some of the burley blends like 110, 102, and others. Enjoy

D7485 is my favorite. Sometimes i just have to pop open the can to stuff my face in and inhale. Love it. Nice mild english

I just got English 110 and Royal. Both are on my reorder/cellar list. Need to try Tashkent. Love their "tins/cans" a very nice old-school touch.

To me L.J Peretti tobacco is as good as Esoterica and more unique. Oriental #40 and Tashkent are fantastic and nothing else tastes like the them. Especially Oriental #40 which to me is the reference Oriental. It is tangy, sour goodness and like all Peretti blends just silky smooth. The Latakia they use in Tashkent has this incense quality that I just don't get from other Latakia blends. I wonder why it tastes so different from other Latakia? Royal Blend, Smith's Own while more mainstream are also elite blends.

I've grown quite fond of Cuban lately.

I have not had the #40 but am liking Tashkent and No. 8 Sliced.

 

[ericusrex]

#40 is like a more-elegant Star of the East.
I've also grown quite fond of 7485. I think of it as a Virginia forward blend with a little latakia instead of a mild English.

I'll bet that comment came as a result of deer tongue in cuban mix. Floral? Sure. Soapy? Not to me.

 

[ericusrex]

I don't get soapy at all. That dude must be confusing Perretti with Gawith & Hogarth. They do sound the same....
