Im just wondering whats the best perique blend is in your opinion? Becuase i normally smoke American Spirits Black, Which is the Perique blend, so im just wondering what blends that are out there that come close to or evenly match that cigarette blend.

The world of perique is vast and varied. If you're looking for something to match a cigarette, you may want to look for a burley-virginia-perique blend, as cigarettes usually contain burley. Cheap and easy to find blends include C&D Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe Krantz. A harder to find, but much smoother alternative is HU Nashville County.
I recommend getting a bulk ounce of Haunted Bookshop and starting from there.

Maybe try Daughters and Ryan Rimboche AP and SJ.

I don't know because frankly that cig doesn't taste anything to me like any perique pipe tobacco. Best bet might be to find something that taste to you like regluar american spirits buy some blending perique and mix a healthy amount into it

Haddos Delight and Bayou Morning

Are you asking for a tobacco that matches to ASB or that matches to the taste of a cigarette? I think it is the former but I am not sure.

They can't tell you the "best" but they can tell you their favorite. People and their English.

Genuinely curious… does American Spirit cigarettes include all the additives generally found in other brands?

No that’s their big marketing gimmick as it where.

Interesting. Thx.
I had a buddy who smoked them exclusively, but he never mentioned anything about them. At the time, I honestly just thought they were a budget brand and that he was trying to save a few bucks by not buying Marlboros or Camels.

P.S. I know this probably info I could just Google. But I’d rather talk to you folks than an algorithm. ?

Towards the end of my run on cigs, I smoked American Spirit Blacks and handrolls exclusively. I really thought the blacks were fantastic. I can't remember how I came to believe this, but I thought they were made up of Virginias and Perique only, at like 90/10 ratio, but please don't take that as gospel.

The D&R Rimboches are definitely worth checking out. I'd also suggest something like GL Pease Fillmore, though that is a flake, so it might not be what you're looking for. Cornell & Diehl Bayou Morning has a heavier hand with the perique than the American Spirit blend, but it might be worth your while, so I second that suggestion. Haddo's Delight, though it has a bit of a liquor flavoring added, is really good, too.

Escudo (a coin cut) and Elizabethan Mixture might also be good.

Are you, or is someone you know, looking to transition off of cigarettes? Or it just a matter of like the ASBs and wanting something similar in pipe form

Why not just smoke straight Perique?

 

[spicy_boiii]

I also smoked those at one point in my cigarette days. Former's straight grain flake reminded me of them, interestingly enough.
