I wish I were there with a 55-gallon drum of rum...

Thanks for sharing! I smoked C&D Bayou Morning yesterday. I treat it with respect.

Thanks for the video, very cool. I have never seen how Perique was stored.

That looked like some good old leaf-type chewing tobacco I used to love so much. I remember one called Lancaster that was especially good.

Interesting, thank you for sharing it! It's always fascinating to see the behind-the-scenes workings of such things.

I loves me some perique!

Thanks for sharing that. Never seen video on perique before.

Yes, a good one. I recall there was another video done at the N.O. Pipe Show last year, and was posted on this site.

We need more tobacco videos. That was a fun watch.

Did anyone else find themselves flexing their hands, wanting to fondle -- er, "feel" -- all that delicious leaf? I bet it smelled like some kind of infernal fermentation too!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

That gave me an erection!

 

[jefff]

So HOT!

This is how Orlik stores their supply (also from a PM.com video).
