Perique is an exceptional tobacco variety that comes exclusively from the Saint James Parish in Louisiana. There are fewer than 16 acres of land with this crop remain in cultivation each year. The Perique leaves are kept under pressure using oak blocks with screw jacks and maturing for no less than a year in nearly airless conditions packed into hickory whiskey barrels. The Perique is considered the "truffle" of pipe tobaccos and it's known for its strong dark taste with powerful fruity and spice aromas.
