thanks papa, im all out of perique juice so i fired up some acadian gold and started reading... its damn long and a lot of the info seems verbatim from "mistique of perique". pipesmagazine mustve copied this literature. Great read. You can tell that it was typed on a typewriter lol. I never smoked perique but can tell from the descriptions that the profile doesnt really transfer to ejuice quite the same. It does get a funky stewed fruit raisin thing, but it lacks the peppery bite that pipe smokers describe. The whole process, and history really intrigues me though. Its also interesting how it will only grow in a small area in St James.
Theres a coffee kind of like this. A coffee plantation in Panama (hacienda esmeralda) that has a tiny little portion of their farm that has a microclimate that they grow a different varietal of coffee called Geisha. They harvest and process it separately... Its usually only a few bags (400-600lbs) but the prices that they go for at auction are insane. LIke $200/per pound (cost not retail). They arent one pound bags either. Green coffee usually comes in burlap sacks that are about 165lbs (75kilos).
