The real deal?

Product: Cornell & Diehl Long Cut Perique Bulk
Back in the early 80s we had a family friend in the shipping industry, who used travel the Gulf Coast from Port Arthur to Tampa, and he would bring plug-like chunks of Saint James Perique (along with packs of Picayune cigarettes!) back from his trave... Read More
ls. That tobacco used to come in a big, pressed cake-like brick, with stems included, and we would cut it using a kitchen knife on a cutting board. Smoked it straight, or mixed with Granger Burley blend. This C&D long cut is as close to that as I have found. Plenty moist, and has the fermented scent, which always makes me think of old wood pilings in salt water. This smokes a lot smoother than I remember the raw Perique did, and seems to have less of a nicotine kick...and you dont have to pick out the stems! Bought an oz to try, and will likely get a lb next order to cellar and smoke. Been smoking this straight in a new Meer, and am thinking of trying some blending. Short of going to the source, this is the best pure Perique option available right now. Also available in a granulated cut, which may be more suited for blending...might need to get a can of Granger too! Read Less

I order this to blend with other tobaccos just to add a little kick to them, once in awhile i'll just stuff a pipe full and puff on it....As for a review: The cut is obviously a long, stringy cut, VERY moist. Its has your typical Perique sent of ferm... Read More
entation, pleasing to me, maybe not so much to others. For smoking, its best to set some out a day ahead of time to let it dry a bit. The title pretty much says it all...5 star strength, 5 star taste, but i would maybe only go 4 stars on the room note....it will linger for awhile though. Read Less

I like the long cut for blending. It does take a bit longer to ensure it is well distributed throughout the blend but the effort is worth it.

After 30+ years smoking cigarettes I switched to pipes about 3 months ago. In that time I tried all kinds of aromatics and loved them, but I just wasn't getting the nicotine kick I was after. Bought couple ounces of this stuff on the personal recomme... Read More
ndation of Sam Bowden here at Smokingpipes, who assured me I wouldn't be disappointed.
Well it got here today and I immediately packed a couple of healthy pinches into a little clay pipe and fired it up. WOW. It smells just like whatever my grandfather smoked. Which is a good thing. And the nicotine experience will surely please you. First time you try it, it could very well feel like your first time, so make sure you're sitting down. And be careful not to accidentally inhale, like I did.
I'll be buying more for sure. This evening I'm going to create a 50/50 blend of this stuff, and Briar Works Peach Cobbler, just for fun. But for first thing in the morning, when I need to wake up and get motivated, I'm going to go full strength. Five Stars, just for nicotine content. Thanks Sam. Read Less
Outstanding for blending!

Burns cooler and therefore has better flavor for me than granulated. I cut it in half inch long pieces before blending.

All these tobacco descriptions say "for blending" ..not sure why. Straight perique is amazing on its own, thos particular perique is exactly as described, peppery and full flavored. Perique has become my full evening g pipe

Good for adding some 🌶 to your blends.
I’ve tried to smoked it alone two or three times, not extremely extremely strong, but you don’t get the good taste you can get out of this fellow.

Not just for blending! Nice for kicking up other mixtures (like Haunted Bookshop, Bayou Morning, etc.), but I must confess that it's heaven on its own! Not an everyday smoke for me, but satisfies when you crave it. Unburned, it's mushroomy and a litt... Read More

Spicy Perfection

Product: Cornell & Diehl Long Cut Perique Bulk
I get whole leaf perique straight from St. James Parish, and C&D’s longcut perique is every bit as good. The fermenty, mushroomy, earthy aroma is unlike anything else. The spice is strong but it’s also a bit sweet. Keep this around to add kick to... Read More

This perique came at exactly the right humidity and smelled and tasted exactly as it should. Very good for adding bold flavor to any blenders project
Product: Cornell & Diehl Long Cut Perique Bulk
Just real and pure Perique.What else?Don´t be very lavish with this wonderful leaf adding to the blend,and press and let repose some weeks to marry savours.
I don't reach for it often, but its good

5 yr old jar note of pungent fermented vegetation and musty wood. Tobacco is dark brown and brown ribbon; it's quite wet drying will be needed to get it lit. Burns moderate with a few relights. The strength is strong and nic is strong. No flavoring d... Read More
etected. Taste is very full and a very consistent beat down, with notes of spicy, ripe vegetation, dry, bitter, musty earth, mild bread, a woody background note, and a very peppery retro. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is good. Read Less
