Perique

Perique is a unique type of tobacco primarily grown in Louisiana, known for its rich, spicy, and complex flavor. It is made by fermenting and aging tobacco leaves in stacked barrels, which intensifies its aroma and taste. The process gives Perique a distinctive, deep, savory, and slightly fruity character, often used as a flavoring component in pipe tobacco blends. Its bold profile adds depth and complexity, making it highly prized by connoisseurs. Despite its potency, Perique is used sparingly to enhance other tobacco varieties without overwhelming them.
