1/2 an acre in one barrel.. WOW!
I’ve smoked straight Perique in my pipe and man that stuff is potent.. but I love it in English blends.
As I was reading your comment the video played at that moment and I out loud said the same thing. 😄👊
Perique in cigarettes is a surprise to me. I love it in my pipe tobacco.
Keep up the good work guys.
I've only seen it in American Spirit Black. Only cigritts I smoke now that I've "quit"(1 pack a month) and switched to Swedish Snus for my health.
You can’t have a VaPer Pipe Tobacco without Perique. Good video!
Yeah i mean its in the name virginia perique
Can’t have a VaPer Pipe Tobacco without Virginia.
Can’t enjoy a VaPer with a good pipe.
Nothing brings me joy like a quality Virginia Perique (aka VaPer) pipe tobacco. Dark fruit and spice from the Perique, bright grassy notes from the Virginias. Heaven....
These men are doin' the Lord's work right here
Its awesome they got their boys out there working and learning… looks like the future of perique tobacco is in good hands 😎👍🏻❤️🌱
I hope it stays alive forever lol Virginia-Perique blends are never bad. These people are doing great things for the industry ❤❤
As a cigar smoker this was very cool. Just ordered some 1881 cigars to see what this Perique is all about.
it's spicy
@Time Is A Human Construct sweet spicy! Wish i could grow it.
Did you manage to get one to try?
So ?? How was it??
Old pipe smoker here. Very special thing here.
It's all I've smoked for years now (mostly RYO)...
It's good to see the heritage and pride going into the craft/product...
As a huge fan of Perique, "thank you" for all of your hard work and efforts!
As a Canadian, I am very jelous of Americas tobacco culture. Our government has regulated the hell out of the product. There is no way you would see any province make a video about tobacco. Thats what makes Louisiana such a great state, along side your crawfish boils. God bless America, the land of the free
It's not only Canada man, I live in Cali and I can't even get a pack of menthols anymore. Push for Pollievre if you want anything close to some much-needed change back home, I know it's hard for most Canadians to wrap their head around voting in a Calgarien, but Canada needs to be shaken up a bit politically speaking if anything's gonna get better.
Here here...I am not a tax target I smoke a pipe and I love perique.
You think you got it bad, come to Australia and pay $162 for a 57g tin
You can grow tobacco in canada and develop your own methods of cleaning, curing, and fermenting, law states up to 15kg per person of a household per year of final yield
Gentlemen, i love your product 😘
keep going 🌿
This is bloody beautiful to see. Singularly superb baccy.
Samual Gawith St James Flake, or Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture are heavenly and mysterious baccy blends; Man alive! Perique is rather special.
Heartwarming docu.
Best of luck to this family. Thank you for providing us pipe smokers with this lovely and quintessential weed.
Best regards from Germany
Love Virginia/perique blends in my pipe. Its a very special tobacco. Cool to see the people who grow it.
Thanks I learned something new today! Great video, didn’t know Louisiana grew tobacco. A Great American tradition!🤠🇺🇸
One of the rare 😂
What a beautiful natural product ❤
Excellent presentation. Thanks.
Appreciate seeing the quality and care to develop a premium product. Great to see the tradition. Thank You
The Choctaw’s and only the choctaws were the first to grow and cultivate this specific type of tobacco. So it goes back a lot earlier then the 1800s like this guy said. The choctaws were kind enough to show the French how the process is to make this tobacco.
That's not true. First of all the chickasaw also grew it. Secondly, the natives didnt pressure ferment like this.
@@Clapstain I didn’t say the chikasha didn’t grow it. I said they weren’t the first. And putting rocks as weights on the tobacco is pressure treating it. I wonder why I know? Maybe because I live on the rez in Mississippi.
@@Clapstainyou sure
@@Conquistador7777 idk if you smoke pipe tobacco, but as a pipe smoker I can tell you that pressure fermentation in a whiskey barrel is different than putting it under some rocks. No one is claiming that the Acadians were the first to cultivate it.
My favorite baccy. I smoke American spirit black when I do purchase cigs, and mix Perique in nearly all my home pipe mixes, as well as my ryo cig blend. I always keep a couple pounds on hand. I’m worried it might be extinct one day and I want all I can afford within reason. It complements any tobacco you mix it with. For example it’s chemistry mellows the burn of Virginia that is associated with the acidity of that leaf. A very simple and delicious example I mix is equal parts Virginia, perique and Latakia. I call it laperva 🤣
Solani 633 is my absolute favorite pipe tobacco, and it wouldn't be without y'alls hard work!
Glad to see this pride even now.
Excellent video 👍
Chenet's cake, Escudo and Mad Fiddler Flake has mad Perique flavors. Good stuff.
Great Video on the process of how Perique is made. 👍I love a good VaPer blend myself and the peppery note the Perique adds to it!
Perique ! My favourite
I didn't know tobacco was grown in Louisiana. My ancestors grew tobacco in what was the Virginia Territory, circa 1600-1800.
Perique is definitely a personal favourite
What a great video!
Very interesting, gentlemen. Thank you.
Like it. Carry on.
Wow i live in louisiana and never knew this!!
Been smoking some Samuel Gawith St James Flake and some Cabbies Mixture today, both VaPer. I see my supplier is awaiting stock on these and I presume Perique is seasonal.
My favorite 😍
This video is awesome. Makes me want to get some cigars and a glass of whiskey.
Periwinkle my second favorite
Amazing!
It's the 'Yellow' pack for me!
Although it's not gonna be considered true perique cause I'm not in Louisiana I ordered some seeds for it to try growing here in Upstate New York this summer
this is fascinating! thank you for sharing
Awesome,where to buy?
B&M’s or online tobacconists. Where else???
I was just thinking today about rolling cigars with this perique I'm growing. I was on the fence, but not anymore. It will be done... some time next year... if I remember... and don't mess it up.
How did it turn out?
@THall-vi8cp I definitely misjudged my timeline. It's color cured and has a bit of age on it. The tobacco is marvelous, as is, but I still have to perique it. I was holding out to build myself a reusable oak vessel for the process, but I think I'm just going to go old school with this crop and twist it up in rope and canvas. As long as I get that done by the end of this month I should have something decent by next summer, but I'll be extending the process for at least half of it.
I have a few pipe tobacco that has that on it
Cool video American spirit black is the best
Where could I get ahold of the first cigar I’d love to try one
Every pipe smoker is familiar with perique. It's delicious!
I love Perique tobacco , but I have a question, was Perique always used as a condimental tobacco back then ? Or did they smoke it straight ???
I’ve no idea what they did traditionally but I’ve had it straight. It’s good but it’s rather flat alone.
Some absolute mad lad will smoke it straight, not-so-absolute mad lad will at least try once. Legend has it that Aleister Crowley smokes rum-soaked perique, he was the founder of Ordo Hermeticus Aurorae Aureae, so you can guess what level of mad-ladness you need to daily drive this thing.
I smoked it straight for a few times, fig and spice as what you'd expect from perique, but tread very gently as it did packs a punch. BTW, the room note is... Hogshit, really.
@@bodyno3158 Crowley was a Satanist who believed demons entered one from the b hole I. e. self sodomy
👍🏻👍🏻
I love dat perique.
👌💨
I wouldn't want to live in a world where Perique tobacco doesn't exist. It's like the salt in the soup to me.
Agreed! I buy my own straight perique. So I can add it to any blend. Or add more to my main blend I smoke. Vapers are the best in my opinion.
I bought a can of pure perique .
It was too wet and smelt like dead dog
The paper wrappers were browned and there were white spots on the surface,
Do you think it was rotten and not good to be used?
Really need help😊
Me too. I bought 2oz to try but it smelt like what you described and saw mold in there as well. Threw away. Not sure if I ever wanted to try VaPer or any pipe tobacco with perique in there.
Good seeing the kids get their hands dirty.
Makes me want to take up the "evil" weed again..used to love trying unique flavours.
There are so many good pipe tobaccos with Perique right now. Escudo, Salty Dogs, Watch City Old Dominion, Samuel Gawith St James Flake, Peterson/Dunhill Elizabethan, Peterson/Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls, GL Pease Stratford.... Just to name a few.
Perique is also high in nicotine too…😂
We call it grabba
We Rasta mix it with ganja
Rule #1 never smoke what you sell...
I prefer nicotina rustica
Sounds like a hard-working family to me. Probably going to end up being screwed over by the government!
They from Saint louis
I just started smoking a pipe. I’ll buy some soon.
Perique is not a tobacco but a process. 🤷
It's kinda both. They grow a specific variety to make into perique. Not just any will do. While other varieties have been used and blended to make "Acadian Perique" the product isn't quite the same.
Some years back, a few members of the web forum Fair Trade Tobacco grew three different tobaccos and put them through a perique process. They then made standardized blends with those and an additional blend using genuine St. James Perique. Other members were then sent portions of the four blends, labeled A, B, C, and D, to see if they could pick out the real McCoy. Only one or two managed it, but every single one agreed that each variety made a great and distinctive type of "perique". It was a very cool experiment.
Weed would be good also!
Grow it all brother! LOL. Real talk though Perique tobacco is amazing. Its not your run of the mill heavily processed cigarette tobacco. Its processed naturally specifically for its flavor profile. It taste of dark stewed fruits and spice. Mixed with a bright and grassy Virginia leaf you get the timeless VaPer variety of pipe tobacco. Something you can sip on and ponder the day deep into the late hours of the night. Or at least my old fashioned ass can. But hey! Mary Jane can help you ponder too!
TOO BAD THEY DONT FALLOW THE SAME BARREL FERMENTATION LIKE HOW THEY USED TO !!!!THEY DONT FALLOW THE SAME RECIPE ! 😞
It's quite tasty when blended with fine Virginia and Orientals. Good stuff!!!
Real lovers of the job!
