Perique goes through quite the process before it's ready to smoke. Here's a quick look at how that figgy, spicy goodness makes it into blends like Bayou Morning, Bourbon Bleu, and Chenet's Cake.
Just noticed Public Piper's (David) video of his Part II visit of new C&D location! What a great follow up to part 1 tour of C&D. What a great privilege indeed! We're fortunate you liked David enough to have him visit again and bring us along. C&D really knows how to connect with us devoted fans beyond the smoke itself. Many of us appreciate your understanding and willingness to take us on a little tour and answer questions. Thank you for taking time to visit with us. Gotta love C&D King of Tobacco Blends.
I love C&D! I have close to 50 of your blends now, and though I've settled on a few favorites, I've yet to come across a single unsmokable tin. Keep up the good work fellas! 👍
Love that Perique and can't do without my King of Tobacco Cornell & Diehl blends! Eight of my ten tobaccos in rotation are Cornell & Diehl. Simply the best! Thanks for that great video. Great capture.
Classic and timeless =]. Perique brings me fond memories of Louisiana living and it’s Saint James Parish origins. In terms of products that need to highlight their cultural connections to the land and traditional farming methods some put perique on par with Cuban tobacco.
I was doing a Google search for some plug tobacco. I came across this video because one out of the two names caught my attention. Might have to get me a pipe. I also enjoyed the video as well.
Informative and well presented. One hopes to see more of these videos. In my experience pipe smokers respond much more positively to real information, rather than the song and dance you usually see. So please keep up the good work: both in blending your fine offerings and informing the public in this intelligent way. Mark
So it isn't a type of tobacco but rather a way of curing the tobacco ??? I assumed it was a different variety of tobacco...thanks for the information !!! I just found this channel and expect that I will be learning a bit more.
I think the purpose of the container is to keep the tobacco compacted after they press it down with the press. The process takes a year. They can use the press in the meantime while it sits in the barrel.
Hey Jeremy. Thank you very much for your very interesting Perique-video. I like a lot of C&D tobaccos, unfortunately they are very hard to get here in Switzerland :o( Thus, I enjoy all of your tobaccos as long as I can and then I make an order when some friends of mine stays in the USA. I very much looking forward seeing you on TH-cam. Happy New Year and Greetings from Zurich/Switzerland, Armin
You can make this at home. Get a Virginia tobacco and soak it in rum. Fill a large glass container with a pretty tight seal and let it sit outside in direct sun all Summer. Be sure no outside moisture can get in. If the tobacco ends up a dark blue you have done it right.
Thanks for all the informative vids. I read you guys were located in Morganton at one point? That's really cool, it's where I'm living now. You have any memories to share about that time or was it just when you were starting out?
@@cornelldiehlinc9213 sounds and looks like chew. I presume this is allowed to dry a bit and used for pipe smoking, but could you chew it as-is fresh out of the barrel?
Great video. Does anyone know what makes the C&D Perique taste different than some of the European-produced blends containing Perique? To me, they taste different. Is it age?
Please, please, pleaaaaase, find a way to bring C&D to Brazil. There's no such a thing here, and we are 200 MM people, without First Class tobacco (Mac Baren just begined to be available at 2016).
Hello ! Tell me why the barrel after bourbon, if the tobacco is in envelope. He will not get the fragrance through the film. Films for food? i do that process too, but i use green foliage. About a month the tobacco is in the juice, then the juice flows through the cracks. Then I start to shift the leaves often. A year later, you get a delicious product. This year I will do according to your technology. To what state do you dry the foliages?
First I was like nice a video of barrel aged cigar tobacco (because I watch a lot of videos about that lately) and then I was like wait you don’t press the tobacco that much and then I panicked because it was torn apart to get it „off“ and then shredded and then I realized it is pipe tobacco xd
If they use a charred oak barrel doesn’t lining the barrel with plastic defeat the purpose? After the barrel is disassembled is it reused? Greetings from the great state of Louisiana!🙏🙏🙏
Hey, cool video; I have a question. You said that the barrel is treated, and I saw that the tobacco is wrapped in a clear film. I figure that the flavor from the barrel gets through the film into the tobacco over the year, so that's all well and good. But if that's a plastic film, I wonder what producers did, before plastic was used, to seal the barrel. Maybe a tree sap was used, or something? Just curious.
Do you want the barrel to impart flavor when curing tobacco though? I know this is a component of some alcohol aging but I wasn't aware of this being used in tobacco curing.
Thomas Moore - That's a good question, I want to know as well. Goes to show the ingenuity of the people from the past to come up with this process and make it work with what they had.
@@mygaffer I read somewhere that the Choctaw came up with this and they would use hollowed out trees. I think the wood in the barrel and logs is just more of a vessel to compress it in than something to impart flavor. Just my 2 cents
If you look up the real perqiue from St. Jame's Parish, they don't normally package it in plastic. They are the same as whiskey barrels and will hold liquid well.
Is this the Original St.James Parrish perique or an Acadian perique? Coming from Louisiana I suppose is a real perique, but I'd like to know from your voice...

+Randy Stewart Thank you so much Randy, we're glad to hear you enjoy them so much.
Smoking a perique Natural American Spirit RYO right now, no filter. Love it. Growing some in the summer but definitly dont have a barrel to age it in
Amazing tradition. I hope that D and R or someone keeps it going forever
That is amazing, what a process! Thank you for sharing, keep the videos coming, well done.
Take care,
Stephen
+imawrench Will do Stephen, thanks for watching.

Tobasco sauce is also made in Louisiana in a similar manner, fermented for a long time in a barrel.
Interesting, to see how tobaccos are prepared for smoking! Thanks for sharing & hope to see many more vids like this one!
+jerryspipe We'll keep making them if you keep watching them.
Here & waiting for the next one!
Seeing how its made is GREAT!
Thanks. These are always cool to watch

Thanks a lot for this information! Best wishes from Vienne, Europe!
this was fucking Epic! read...seen pictures ..listened to stories.now i have got to see THANK you for everything and for just being you!
Aww, thanks Kevin, we try :D
I am drooling like a pig over here!
+4cooey Well don't slip, our liability doesn't cover drool.
Holy mother of spiciness! I didnt know it was compressed.
+artsandclouds
hahaha right?!?!
Cool video. Love this baccy.
C &D blends are awesome. Liked all I have tried so far. Seersucker is my favorite.
Great video. nice to see the process for sure!
One of my favorite tobaccos.
Looks tasty.

I'm smoking bayou morning flake right now! Really impressed with this tobacco; cant wait to try exclusive and yorktown which are on the way

I never thought leafs slowly rotted in a barrel would be appealing until I found out about perique tobacco.
Where is the barriquebarrel influence, when you pack the tobacco in plastic?

Simply the best 😮⭐👍
Peweee, that’s some STONG STUFF. I do like a wee bit in a Virginia flake though.
How did anyone come up with this, and cocoa, and coffee, aliens?
well the mayans / incans said that some dude with a grey beard taught this to them
no not gandalf, they called him enki
i heard that somewheres
Back in the days people reused barrels for storage

This video smelled so strong that my gf told me to take it outside
Amazing ❤ ciao from Italy

Everything is better when soaked in Rum!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing,

+LukeTheDuke93 Our pleasure!
That must smell insanely good
cant wait to order a tin !
I've probably smoked one of this guys beard hairs at some point.
Beard kake
My C&D tobacco always has a nice beard note.
WHAT A COOL JOB AND INTERESTING VID!! THANK U SO MUCH!
Awesome video

Wow, very unique I would like to know how you would describe the initial smell when the barrel is first opened and all the plastic removed?
+JohnsonJB80 Like a wave of spicy, fermented fig.
@@cornelldiehlinc9213 sounds and looks like chew. I presume this is allowed to dry a bit and used for pipe smoking, but could you chew it as-is fresh out of the barrel?
That makes my hands sore just watching. lol
lovely
I heard they can pack a half acre of tobacco in one barrel. Crazy to think about.
So...why can you not SEE more perique in Bayou Morning?
Great video. Does anyone know what makes the C&D Perique taste different than some of the European-produced blends containing Perique? To me, they taste different. Is it age?
I know the family that grows that Perique tobacco. I'm think they are the only people to produce it. They live a few miles from me.
Please, please, pleaaaaase, find a way to bring C&D to Brazil. There's no such a thing here, and we are 200 MM people, without First Class tobacco (Mac Baren just begined to be available at 2016).
Nice, Now we know how it is packaged...
+Allen Woods :D
Can perique be made with smoke cured Burley?

I'd get a linen wrap or something, but if it's plastic wouldn't that severely limit the influence of the barrel?
It’s an anaerobic process. So air is bad.

Delicious.
WOW!
+The PiPeLeSs Piper Thanks!
I have an unopened tin of Chenets cake! It's going on a year. Have not had it yet so it will be exciting.

Is anyone else wondering how many of Jeremy’s beard hairs they’ve smoked?
Ууууу какая вкусняшка 😋😋👍
I Love C&D
잎에 가향 하는법좀 알려 주세요
바닐라 원액이라는데 불을 피우면 그향이 안납니다
Hilarious music
Great video. Great beard.
Id like to add that barrel to my cart....free shipping right? Awesome video!
+Blendrecommender With that much tobacco, maybe ;)
perique and dark fired totally f with my tonsils for some reason and it suckss!!!!!!
gooooooooooooood !!

Süper 👍 Dressing tobacco
So when I buy some of that sweet C&D blending perique, it's from this very barrel?!?
It is indeed!
Good deal -- just ordered another pound. Bought some a few months ago and can verify that it was a very good year.
Tell me please - what breed of wood barrel made? (Oak, birch or other?)
+Roman A. Oak, and pressed with oak blocks.
О Роман приветствую и ты тут... Был давненько 👍
@@SaSa-yc3wo Ага, был... Табаком занимаюсь же :)
@@Roman_Comrad если по перик у интересуешься можешь глянуть экскурсию по цеху th-cam.com/video/QXkuquLnXEQ/w-d-xo.html
do you have a website where we can order your products online
Yummy !
When you opened the barrel, all the tobacco leaves without the central vein?
Through its process, the tobacco is de-veined before its put into the barrel.
Is it also good to make chewing tobacco from? It looks like it would make a fine chew if it was flavored a bit.
I thought the same thing, with a little salt I’d bet it’d be good to go, considering how flavorful it is.
Somebody aught to try it
WOW
At what point do you add the mold spores?
Why the plastic wrap?
Inlaying barrel with plastic bag in kind of odd.
Is this the Original St.James Parrish perique or an Acadian perique? Coming from Louisiana I suppose is a real perique, but I'd like to know from your voice...
How much is a barrel of this?
What the Hell is the point of chard oak barrels?! You wrap in in plastic. You might just as well put it in Tupperware.
Friend. I want to contact you
