This is one of those blends you have to try. It’s a little more expensive but it’s worth it. First of all, the coins are beautiful and the smoke is quintessential. Some say the perique is slightly on the spicy side, I personally don’t think so. Just a nice grassy Virginia with dark fruit flavor from the perique. I have some that are two years old but I can’t wait to see what this blend will do with 5 or 10 years on it.
