Not quite there yet...hoping some age helps.

but I want to give it just 3.5★. I just don't want to hurt its average; for mine still being on the fresh side. Time will tell on this one. If you can find a generous soul, willing to send you some of this with some years on it, maybe you can try it and know if you should buy now...and enjoy later....Read More

Mount Rushmore not being the Artists vision until ten thousand years of weathering, so this blend was not ready when made.

to full and somewhat consistent, with notes of very earth, very spicy, woody, bread, sour lemon, tangy raisin, mildly floral, mild sweet grass, mild dark chocolate, and a very peppery retro. The evenly matched Perique and Virginias are locked in a grudge match. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

More than the peppery spice common in blends with lower amounts of perique, in this blend, the high amount of the component produces notes of fig and other dark fruits, like plum. Age it for at least a year. If you are a devout vaper smoker, you will not be disappointed.
Top Notch Virginia/Perique

very plummy and peppery with a definite sweetness from the Virginia. All around I thought it was quite enjoyable. I popped into a tobacconist out of town and managed to find a 4 year old tin. I'm gonna put at least 6 more years on it before I pop it. EDIT: I let this stuff sit for about a year before I tried it again. Whether my taste changed, I gained more smoking experience or age did the trick, I absolutely love this now. From 3.5 to 5 stars. This stuff is delicious and I would definitely consider the perique to be as equally spicy as it is fruity. I also can taste the burley in it a more now but it's just enough to bring the whole smoke together and not necessarily add much burley flavour....Read More

ose hairs off. If you like the spicy side of Perique, you'll like this. It's not all pepper, but this is definitely more peppery than the mildly sweet, dark fruit variety, as C&D's Perique tends to lean. It does have a very pleasant dark fruit aroma though. This of course may change with time. Especially since this blend is from their Cellar Series, I'd imagine that with some age that it's going to transform considerably. The pleasantly bready, bright/golden Virginias make up a solid and tasty backbone of this cake. They didn't overdo it with the red Virginia content, and I'm glad for that. The golden Virginias and the Perique combine in a wonderful, 'high-octane' VA-Per that is faintly reminiscent of Elizabethan Mixture in its balance of naturally bready and spicy flavors, and in nicotine content. The nicotine is about 6 out of 10—not overwhelming but definitely noticeable. My tin was about nine months old, and it was a delicious smoke right out of the tin - so delicious that I had five pipefuls in one evening! Chenet's Cake is yet another winner in the Cellar Series lineup. As they say in Louisiana, "C'est bon!"...Read More
