A Little Goes A Long Way
June 29, 2020
Product: Sutliff TS-20 Louisiana Perique Bulk
This is a beautifully fresh and moist long cut Perique ribbon. The cut is longer than other brands sell. It’s the freshest Perique I’ve ever received and is very moist, the way it should be.
I mix this with one part white burley, one part lemon Virg... Read More
inia, two parts Red Virginia and put it into a screw press. Let it sit for a month and you’ll have the most delicious home made plug. Use the Perique sparingly or use a lot of it. The choice is yours! Read Less
A strong intense smoking experience

Product: Sutliff TS-20 Louisiana Perique Bulk
My family heritage on my Mother's side has a lot of history in Louisiana, the Perish, and Pierre Chanet, a distant second cousin. Each time I smoke the Perique I am experiencing my ancestry in some way. If you have never smoked straight Perique, take... Read More
it easy and ease yourself into the bowl. The smoke is very thick and pungent, as to be expected for such a deeply fermented tobacco. Again, relax and take it very slow, by doing so you will release the fruitful wine flavor of the tobacco, much like a spicy merlot, making for quite the pleasant experience. I would like to suggest pairing this with a mildly sweet to sweet red wine. Read Less
Tried it Neat

I admit I was hesitant. And after sniffing the bag note, and getting a snout full of mustiness, I was still fearful. But I went ahead anyway. I loaded my clay and lit. It was not as strong in flavor as I had anticipated (perhaps due to hype). The fla... Read More
vor was there, but it was not painfully spicy or overtly fruity. It was actually a pretty nice smoke. A little moist out of the bag, but no issue lighting. The vitamin N came around mid-bowl and I took a break. I was assured that the room note was not the best. I will try it again on its own and certainly will enjoy adding it to other blends to see how it changes or enhances them. Read Less
Superb Perique
April 23, 2020
Product: Sutliff TS-20 Louisiana Perique Bulk
This Perique does wonders when added to other tobaccos. When blending it with other tobacos I found that there's a narrow margin between enough and too much. I found also that a touch of this Perique can help reduce tongue bite in tobacco blends.
Bold. Intense. Perfection.

If you are new to pipe smoking, I would not recommend filling your bowl with this, rather blend it 50/50 into your regular tobacco. This is for a more experienced, discerning smoker who appreciates Perique. For those who aren't familiar with this sty... Read More
le of tobacco, it is not cured and processed the same way as traditional tobacco. Perique is a uniquely processed style. It is not completely dried when it is washed, allowing any remaining to be removed and re-moistening the tobacco. It is then stemmed by hand, compressed, heated and then fermented. Due to the amount of moisture present and the amount of time it is cured, it allows the leaf to properly age like a fine bourbon. This gives the leaf a bold peppery spice. As far of Perique's go, Sutliff, has done a phenomenal job knocking this out of the park. I enjoy this straight with 12 year bourbon on my back patio several times a week. I quite enjoy a bold blend like this from time to time, however, I change up my blends every so often as to keep myself interested in finding that unicorn that will replace my dear friend Frog Morton RIP.

5 yr old jar note of mildly sweet, pungent and musty vegetation. The dark brown and black tobacco ribbons are a little moist, some may prefer to dry it a bit. Some chunks look like ready rub and may need a little attention. Burns slow with few religh... Read More

Taste is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of leather, moderately spicy, acidic, musty wood, rich earth, fermented vegetation, mildly bitter, toasted bread a tart and tangy fruit background note, and a moderately peppery retro.

I used to smoke American Spirits Perique blend so I thought I knew what I was getting into with this. I was wrong. Delightfully so. I understand most people blend this with other tobaccos but I happily smoked the entire package straight. Will be orde... Read More

Started with just 1oz, now wish I bought a ton more. As stated, long moist cut and as soon as it's lit....wonderful peppery full smoke. I may not blend this at all and smoke it straight
