I love the stuff, too, but I may have found one with a little too much.vaperfavour":qc39onci said:taste being subjective, I find all the blends I smoke which have perique are all very sweet but more of a fruity sweetness. of course it would depend on the blend. in my view the more perique the better! I have never had too much perique. I once had a bowl of straight perique, almost got sick. it really takes some skill to blend in those subtle differences in a blend.
The perique could well be increasing your perception of sweetness, but it's not likely exactly the cause in and of itself. Perique is a remarkable tobacco, and can be used in different ways to get different results in a blend. You might find my article The Pleasures and Perils of Perique of some interest; it discusses some of these things in somewhat more detail.Buster":cvie2yd0 said:I've noticed a theme in testing (non aromatic) tobaccos. It seems the ones where I actually taste a sugary sweetness, on the tongue, (not necessarily a sweet smell) seem to all contain perique. Could perique be the cause?
