On Friday, October 2nd, Mark Ryan, President and Owner of D&R Tobacco will give a guided tour through his unique Perique Processing Factory located just outside New Orleans in St. James Parish. This is a once in a life time event to see first hand how the leaves are processed, barreled, and aged. You will learn some history about Perique and learn how Perique almost disappeared just a few short years ago. In addition to this great tour and history lesson, Mark has arranged for a tobacco sampling and blending session. He will have Virginia, Burley, Latikia, Cavendish and yes Perique to sample and then we will be guided through blending our own with the available tobacco, and have a few ounces of your very own custom blend to take home. In addition, we will be treated to lunch and beverages before heading back to New Orleans.
