Ah, Picayune tobacco. Self-acclaimed as “The Pride Of New Orleans”. As a native New Orleanian, born and raised, I heard colorful tales for decades of men smoking the notorious blend called Picayune. My best high school pal, my grandfather and my uncle relayed the stories as well. My grandfather’s coworker regularly smoked rolled cigarettes with the heady stuff within. Many of these stories involved the smoker offending others with a noxious and overpowering room note. But what all such tales had in common was the tobacco was smoked in cigarette form! I don’t know what those old-school New Orleanians were thinking, as this is sold as pipe tobacco for a reason.

I didn’t try this until my early forties, when I was an experienced pipe smoker and had indulged for over a decade in many different blends of pipe tobacco. I can’t say in honesty that it’s pleasurable. In fact, I can I recall only enjoying one of my many bowls of this tin. Well, with the first bowl in the morning, I’m less prejudiced and far more forgiving. But the rest of the times it burned down to a fine white ash in my pipe’s chamber, almost as if it was shag. After each of those bowls, I deduced that this burley/Virginia/perique/Turkish creation isn’t a horrible or even bad blend. Just not balanced, not flavorful, and not enjoyable for me personally.

Sometimes I think there’s enough peppery perique in this to kill a mule. Though perique-aficionados may be far more on board with this blend. And that one time I retrohaled? I chuckled, feeling the keen burn in my throat and I remembered those hardcore New Orleanians from generations before.

I probably won’t restock it, but it was worth the adventure! 3.0 stars.

Guess we ain't in Kansas no more Toto! This is beyond a doubt the strongest tobacco blend that I ever put under a match. Stronger than bears breath, about as subtle as a digital prostate exam. I had to wait til my eyeballs quit swapping holes to find my laptop so I could write a review. The only thing for me to do is blend this 50/50 with a mild Virginia and cellar it for a while. Not something for the faint of heart or anyone with a queasy stomach. Unless I can tone it down quite a bit, I won't be buying more of this blend....Read More
I love it 🙏
