Perique Tobacco Blends

[admin]

I am preparing an article for publication (hopefully Monday), "The Mystique of Perique".
Can you guys let me know what your favorite Perique blends are?
Two that I have smoked a lot of and like a lot are:
- Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique

- Blakeney's Best Acadian Ribbon (from McClelland)
What are some of your favorite Perique Blends?

That would be hard for me. I pretty much love every blend with Perique in it, lol. But I will give it some thought and try to come up with a short list.

I'm midway thru my self-constructed Vaper sampler of bulk H&H blends. All have their individual merits, but for me Louisiana Red gets the vote. I think it is outstanding.

Ashton Artisan's Blend is fantastic stuff!

Most of the Perique blends I've tried are Virginias with some Perique (e.g. Esoterica 'Dorchester')- this is an 'English' with some Perique - very nice! The wife might not like it much thou ....

I haven't found too many perique-heavy blends I like much.
I'll second Artisan's Blend -- a classic blend where the perique beautifully fulfills its role as a condiment.
I'll also add Frog Morton on the Bayou, another english blend where the perique makes its contribution known in a most pleasant fashion.
I've yet to find a Va/Per I like at all -- I want to discover what the big deal is all about, since I dislike not being privy to the secrets of rarified pleasure.

I haven't really looked through my Perique blends yet, but I would have to say that H&H Anniversary Kake is my favorite VA/Per.

Dorisco Mixture by James J Fox.
The ultimate english and the ultimate perique blend available imo.
It is a truly masterful mixture - if you dont love it i would be very surprised.
Its a medium english, perique, course cut va and latakia (even tho its not mentioned on the label), but of such high quality tobacco. im going to have a pipe right now :D

Not much help this late, but just ordered more Luxury Bullseye Flake, the first tobacco I smoked after the years-long layoff, and a happy choice.

My favorite Va/Per. I plan on ordering more very soon.

For me its Kajun Kake from C&D

 

[jcosmoasp]

Blakeney's Best Bayou Slices, as opposed the their "Pretty Good" Bayou Slices.

Jcosmoasp Said: as opposed the their "Pretty Good" Bayou Slices.

LOL.
A couple more that I have been smoking lately are:

H&H Virginia Spice

H&H Louisiana Red
Both of these blends are awesome!
