    Perique in cigarettes is a surprise to me. I love it in my pipe tobacco.
    Keep up the good work guys.

      I've only seen it in American Spirit Black. Only cigritts I smoke now that I've "quit"(1 pack a month) and switched to Swedish Snus for my health.

    1/2 an acre in one barrel.. WOW!
    I’ve smoked straight Perique in my pipe and man that stuff is potent.. but I love it in English blends.

    As a Canadian, I am very jelous of Americas tobacco culture. Our government has regulated the hell out of the product. There is no way you would see any province make a video about tobacco. Thats what makes Louisiana such a great state, along side your crawfish boils. God bless America, the land of the free

      It's not only Canada man, I live in Cali and I can't even get a pack of menthols anymore. Push for Pollievre if you want anything close to some much-needed change back home, I know it's hard for most Canadians to wrap their head around voting in a Calgarien, but Canada needs to be shaken up a bit politically speaking if anything's gonna get better.

    The Choctaw’s and only the choctaws were the first to grow and cultivate this specific type of tobacco. So it goes back a lot earlier then the 1800s like this guy said. The choctaws were kind enough to show the French how the process is to make this tobacco.

    It's all I've smoked for years now (mostly RYO)...
    It's good to see the heritage and pride going into the craft/product...
    As a huge fan of Perique, "thank you" for all of your hard work and efforts!

    This is bloody beautiful to see. Singularly superb baccy.
    Samual Gawith St James Flake, or Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture are heavenly and mysterious baccy blends; Man alive! Perique is rather special.

    Nothing brings me joy like a quality Virginia Perique (aka VaPer) pipe tobacco. Dark fruit and spice from the Perique, bright grassy notes from the Virginias. Heaven....

  • @thorny3218
    @thorny3218 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    My favorite baccy. I smoke American spirit black when I do purchase cigs, and mix Perique in nearly all my home pipe mixes, as well as my ryo cig blend. I always keep a couple pounds on hand. I’m worried it might be extinct one day and I want all I can afford within reason. It complements any tobacco you mix it with. For example it’s chemistry mellows the burn of Virginia that is associated with the acidity of that leaf. A very simple and delicious example I mix is equal parts Virginia, perique and Latakia. I call it laperva 🤣

  • @squiremuldoon5462
    @squiremuldoon5462 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love Perique tobacco , but I have a question, was Perique always used as a condimental tobacco back then ? Or did they smoke it straight ???

    • @thorny3218
      @thorny3218 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve no idea what they did traditionally but I’ve had it straight. It’s good but it’s rather flat alone.

    • @bodyno3158
      @bodyno3158 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Some absolute mad lad will smoke it straight, not-so-absolute mad lad will at least try once. Legend has it that Aleister Crowley smokes rum-soaked perique, he was the founder of Ordo Hermeticus Aurorae Aureae, so you can guess what level of mad-ladness you need to daily drive this thing.
      I smoked it straight for a few times, fig and spice as what you'd expect from perique, but tread very gently as it did packs a punch. BTW, the room note is... Hogshit, really.

  • @lalapipe3960
    @lalapipe3960 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I bought a can of pure perique .
    It was too wet and smelt like dead dog
    The paper wrappers were browned and there were white spots on the surface,
    Do you think it was rotten and not good to be used?
    Really need help😊

    • @sunset3052
      @sunset3052 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Me too. I bought 2oz to try but it smelt like what you described and saw mold in there as well. Threw away. Not sure if I ever wanted to try VaPer or any pipe tobacco with perique in there.

      Grow it all brother! LOL. Real talk though Perique tobacco is amazing. Its not your run of the mill heavily processed cigarette tobacco. Its processed naturally specifically for its flavor profile. It taste of dark stewed fruits and spice. Mixed with a bright and grassy Virginia leaf you get the timeless VaPer variety of pipe tobacco. Something you can sip on and ponder the day deep into the late hours of the night. Or at least my old fashioned ass can. But hey! Mary Jane can help you ponder too!
