If there's any Perique in here, I could never pick it out. Like Stokkebye's bullseye flake, the Perique (and most of the Virginia) flavors are stepped on by the black cavendish. I'd smoke it if no other flakes were available, but this is the blend that make me realize how much I hate black cavendish. It isn't offensive in any way other than the lack of flavor, so I can understand its popularity... but the best way to enjoy it is to be in the room when someone else is having a pipeful.
