Perique is pretty good in some blends.Between @Marc L 's links and the posts about adding other tobaccos to our RYO cigars, I'm toying with the idea of sprinkling in some pipe tobacco blends...
Hey, Marc. I may have missed it, but did you ever have a chance to smoke your perique-wrapped cigar? If so, how'd you like it? I'm trying to figure out a good way to use this stuff. I rolled a perique purito just to get the undiluted flavor and it was not pleasant. Kind of like being put off by eating a tablespoon of seasoning that would otherwise have tasted great when mixed with the right food.Perique wrapper.
Count me in. I'm good for the shekels.I should mention their blending, everything was roughly 2:2:1 seco:viso:ligero.
They specialized in Brazilian and Nicaraguan fillers, i think all of their blends were made off of that combo, just a different wrapper to differentiate, in the case of their social club blend.
I'm going to get together a box split or sampler for some of these soon if anyone is interested. They are surprisingly cheap for being rolled in the US... :O

What kind of flavors does it add? How much do you add? You must have to dry it a good bit before using it?Perique is pretty good in some blends.
I meant to take a pic of this after I slapped a cap on it but, .. glad I waited to burn it though. still got some lip of perique with the criollo cap .. muted a bit. It really didn't over power the blend which was some cibao left overs and wlt's first mata fina filler.Hey, Marc.
