Just smoked a partial bowl of Sutliff Louisiana Perique in the Big Ben Ranger (my chief VaPer pipe, more or less.) A partial bowl because I didn't know how much time I'd get to smoke tonight, and also because I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it enough on its own for a full bowl.
I was expecting it to be really spicy/peppery, and to zing my nostrils on every retrohale, but that wasn't the case. A few zings now and then, sure, but I found myself thinking of DFK, that kind of funky/earthy enhanced-burley kind of thing. I'll give it a couple more bowls (in this pipe) to keep educating my palate, then probably save it for blending experiments.
