New RO Perique blends

[Fight'n Hampsters]

Anyone try these yet? I think they have just come out. They look interesting, especially the Acadian Gold

As a side note, this type of blend makes me sad when I think about the new FDA Regs. No more limited runs like this any more.

I think these are one-shot by definition. Kinda like McClelland Christmas blends. If one loves perique, I don't know how these can be resisted. I just like it, so I'll leave these to the real fans.

Yeah, they do seem to be intended for a limited run. I have come to appreciate Perique much more in the past couple of years and would love to try them to see if I could pick up the nuances.

My understanding of the regs are that in the future they would not be able to create a one off like this without spending a ton of $$ to get it approved thus making the likelihood of a company producing one slim to nill. They would have to price it astronomically high to recoup expenses and take the risk that nobody would like the blend.

What I keep hearing about the regs makes no sense. It is the same tobacco as always, just in new combinations.

Imagine what a chef would go though if any new dish would have to register because a second dash of ingredient X was added instead of just one.

Should be interesting to see how it shakes out. Perhaps a pipe-smoking judge, about to lose his new favorite, will chime in.

I'll have to put those on my Christmas list. At $8.52/ ounce for the Perique Series, and $11.36/ounce for the Arcadian Series, I would wake up some morning looking up at a pot of boiling Crisco over my face if I went there.

They do sound great though, yes indeed. I'm always curious about different types of Perique.

A shame......... But somebody will bite, and I hope to learn from there how they are!

Hopefully Jim will review these sometime soon. Sounds intriguing!

2016 and 2017 Christmas Cheer is available at 4noggins. Last time CC will be available due to stupid legislation

If I can trade for some, I will. I'm not currently buying any tobacco. A shame in this case as I love perique.

Does anyone other than myself see the prices for this tobacco a bit steep? At $20.00 a pop and only getting 1 3/4 ounces is a "No Way" for me. :no:

They are expensive, but Russ O wrote elsewhere it was because of the higher production costs of making the perique. As much as I want to try them, I had to pass, too.

I totally agree. I may have to sell some of my stash and take advantage of the price increase. Good ol' Capitalism. :twisted:
