Whole leaf blend. Ky per or flake.
45% kentucky
40% oriental
15% perique
Pressed stoved the plug for a few hours. Became a nice dark colour. Surprisingly sweet for a Virginia free blend. The Kentucky is mellowed from the stoving and paired with the fruit notes of the perique, it becomes more chocolatey at first and then more earthy. The orientals are very fragrant and musty off the start but mellow into more leather, wood, incense and some cinnamon/cumin notes for the rest of the smoke. The perique butters them up a bit. Good strength, a nice spice and smokes at a very relaxed pace.
