RO Series Perique Blend GP-11 contains Perique grown in the Grand Point region. This has more of the traditional characteristics of Perique, with a fruitiness and sweet spice and a hint of cocoa. Russ blended this with some exceptional bright Virginia and double toasted Burley to allow the natural flavor of this unique Perique to shine.
Never heard of this brand, decided to give it a try. This is a perfect example of why people should try different tobacco. The first six puffs or so we're very peppery, almost overwhelming. I thought oh no. But it settled into a marvelous, smooth, cool smoking experience. Packed and lit easily, no bite whatsoever. Unlike many brands that require drying, this is good to go from a freshly opened tin.
I highly recommend this tobacco and look forward to trying more blends from this maker.

If you like Virginia-Burley blends with some dark Perique flavor, this one is for you.

The Virginia is soft, sweet, and wine-like, not sharp. There is some peppery zest, but well below the nuisance level. It's pretty much like the label description says: mellow & rich. The cut is kind of a medium chop, and it is easy to pack and light.
