Perique is a type of tobacco native to the Saint James Parish, Louisiana, renowned for its strong aroma. When the Acadians made their way into this region in 1776, the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes were already cultivating this variety of tobacco. Perique is considered “the truffle of tobaccos”: it is the most expensive tobacco variety, due to its long and complex manufacturing and fermentation, and because it only grows in a small area south of New Orleans. It is used parsimoniously (up to 5%) in blends, as if it were a precious spice. Our Perique tobacco extract preserves all the unique characteristics of this extraordinary tobacco variety. Its taste is intense and fruity.
