I smoked a few bowlfuls years ago and recently picked it up again. I enjoy aromatics and have gone through quite a few blends of all types searching for something, a taste or reaction I once liked, but with little luck.
About the only smoke I really enjoyed was a few of the Captain Blacks and Mac Baren Virginia #1. Being from the Bayou State I had to try Bayou Morning Flake and that is now definitely my favorite. It has that pleasant back-of-the-throat bite and enough of a kick that I need to dry out before I can drive.
Since BMF is a VaPer and I read the reviews of all of the VaPers here I tried ordering a few. H & H Louisiana Red (bulk), H & H Capitol Stairs & Cajun Kale are all supposed to be decent VaPers, but all disappointed me.
I just received a sample of McClelland's Virginia Perique Flake and 2 oz of blending Perique.
The McClelland VaPer looks exactly like Bayou Morning Flake; I can't tell the two apart visually and the smell is quite similar, the bag odor is faintly sweet-grassy-barnyard. My sample of the McClelland wasn't as strong as Bayou Morning, but very similar and definitely something I would order more of. Perhaps shorter nicotine high, but a wonderful bite, a bit sweet and no burn.
Then I decided to try some of my sample of perique. After all the warnings about how strong and how much it is usually diluted in most mixtures I was expecting anything from burning manure to creosote.
I am in love!
No burn, mildly sweet, wonderful kick, no aftertaste.
My Captain Black Royal now has its missing testosterone!
Where can I get a barrel?
