How dare you SP.... You had me at Perique!
In for several tins because why the heck not and they sound mighty fine!

I wonder where all this aged Perique is coming from. Mark Ryan had a barrel that had aged about 15 years, but that was completely by mistake, and that Decade Perique was sold out a year or more ago. I have a couple of tubs of it that Mark held back for me, and it's lovely stuff.
Boy, I would love to trade for some of that. Of course I think you are a man who has everything, and a left nut is not on the table

I've smoked it straight just to get a sense of it, and it almost holds up on its own, but there's a disagreeable aftertaste. So I use it as a blending components with some stoved, matured red, touch of gold, touch of lemon VIrginias, and a bit of Burley to round it out.
The alchemy happens when the aged Perique is combined with other tobaccos. The fruitiness of the Decade Perique reminds me of the fruitiness of Perique in a 20 year old tin of Escudo,
Depends on what you're stocking up on. This new blend? I have no idea. Escudo? Not the STG version. And the Mark Ryan Decade Perique? Sold out as far as I know.
Didn't Ken Byron have some old ass perique lately too in that Artifact Blend? Ordered one each of the SP tins. Gotta know.
