Our tribute to the Old Belt, Carolina Red Flake with Perique showcases three remarkable flue-cured grades — heirloom 2013 Mahogany leaf from Virginia, aged 2017 Red Virginias from North Carolina, and matured 2019 Georgian Red-Orange leaf — elevated by a generous portion of genuine St. James Perique.
Tin note is sweet and a bit spicy with lite notes of fresh cut grass. My tin is 2018 so 6 years of age I tried this quite a while ago and decided to give it some time to age, and it was well worth the wait. Its more of a broken flake. the tobacco packs very easily and stays lit. This is a very earthy full Virginia with just a bit of sweetness. My tin has good age and the smoke is very smooth. This is another blend to smoke slowly. As with most Virginia tobacco. Not so much that it gets hot, but it looses flavor if puffed to fast. I would suggest a beverage with this as it seems to help to distinguish the flavors better as they are very subtle. Nic hit is right at medium. 5 stars with age
Excellent pure Virginia has a good tobacco taste, one of a few tobaccos that will leave a good aftertaste.
Watch City Cigar is the best site bar none! Always pleasant and shipping speed is by far the quickest of all pipe/cigar sites! Definitely give them a try!
