In a world loaded with Virginia and VaPer flakes, it is a breath of fresh air to find a great ribbon cut VaPer. Flakes not only burn slow, but they usually require drying time, and when you're on the go, that can be too much to deal with. This blend is a go-to for me. The Virginias have a wonderful citrus flavor, and the Perique is used as a condiment in perfect proportions. This is not a black pepper type of Perique mixtures, it's more of the citrusy variety. Medium strength, with enough nicotine to get the job done, but not overpowering. If you like VaPer tobaccos at all, I can't imagine how you could go wrong here. Five stars, without a doubt; one of the best of the genre.
