[QUOTE="jj1015, post: 386339, member: 207"] The exact percentage of perique that goes into a blend is usually a trade secret, but most VaPers tend to have somewhere between 5 and 10 percent perique. It is definitely a condimental tobacco -- unlike latakia, which can be added to a blend in quantities well over 50 percent, perique will dominate and ruin a mixture if even a little too much is used. That doesn't mean there aren't blends with relatively high percentages of perique, it just means that they aren't that common and special care has to be taken to make sure the other tobaccos can stand up the perique. Old Joe Krantz, which is a true perique powerhouse, has 25 percent perique. I imagine that, Haddo's Delight has between 15 and 20, while Filmore might have as much as 15 (the latter two are guesses, but OJK's precise ingredients have been published). According to my best guess, Escudo has something like 7 or 10 percent. I think your idea is basically, sound, just be very careful not to ruin a good blend. I would just add perique in small amounts, gradually adding more and more until you reach the level you want. I'd also take copious notes, and give a thought to just mixing up your own blend.
