Can anyone recommend a strong perique blend?

[fumo bro]

What are some virginia/perique blends that contain a high amount of perique?

Haddo's Delight, and sit down when you smoke it

C&D Bayou Morning bulk. There's also the flake, but I think that the bulk has a bit more perique "kick".

 

[Muddler]

Another shout out for Bayou Morning. It's Bob's creation, if I'm not mistaken, & one of my favourites. Lots of musty perique. It improves with a little age on it too.

 

[Eric]

Esoterica Tobacciana Dunbar has both a stout Virginia and a good amount of Perique. With notes of scotch whiskey or perhaps sour mash, its my personal favorite "Full Va/Per" blend.

 

[grumpy1]

If you are looking for a Per/Va I'll mention C&D 967: Exclusive. Some might say this deserves a warning rather than a recommendation, but it has its place.

Frenchy's Sunza ******* from pipesandcigars.com [Habana Premium]

 

[LV9]

Dorisco Mixture by James J Fox is legendary for the amount of perique use in it.

Or you could try this and blend it to your own strength and tastes. Not recomended alone. :shock:

Hey, I like this guy! Harry Connick Jr. too!

 

[gandalfpc]

No one mentioned Solani 633?

 

[Falconer]

now Shhhhhsh Gandalf! it's getting harder to find already.

 

[gandalfpc]

mums the word

 

[Eric]

I wouldn't call that one strong. It seems to me to be "sweeter" than "strong".

 

[Carlos]

Actually, I have smoked C&D's blending perique straight. It's not bad at all. Quite one dimensional by itself. Works magic when blended though.

 

[Maiser]

I like the perique in C & D blends, Carlos, now that you mention it.

I also like the perique used in Esoterica tobaccos.

 

[alfredo_buscatti]

An idea would be to get real perique from St. James Parish and mix it with straight VAs in larger quantities, with VA/Periques in smaller quantities.

 

[old_salt]

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Escudo.
I find it spicier than St. James Woods or Beacon

 

[fumo bro]

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I ordered a tin of C&D Bayou Morning Flake and a tin of Escudo to start off.
